OLIVIA NELSON is back with her third single ‘Keeper’, taken from her EP, ‘Back To You’, set for release on 30th August.
Continuing a flawless run of narrative singles, ‘Keeper’ sees Olivia musing on her ex’s new relationship. “It’s a message to his new girlfriend. A warning of what’s potentially to come,” she explains. Underpinned by a heavy funk rhythm section, ‘Keeper’ is a perfect encapsulation of Olivia’s uptempo R&B.
The UK’s promising talent is set to perform on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival this year, followed by her own headline show at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen in London, UK on October 15th.
NEW LEASE MUSIC is very proud to introduce the exciting genre fluid artist and producer AYLØ onto today’s hotspot. The fast-rising rapper, singer, songwriter and beatsmith is one of the seminal Nigerian creatives, alongside the likes of Odunsi The Engine and Santi, who are pioneering the seminal and innovative fusion sound coming out of Africa, popularly known as alté, which is currently making waves, disrupting the sound and culture on the continent, and quickly gaining traction and attention internationally.
Firmly steeped in alternative R&B, neo soul, hip hop and afropop music sensibilities, while drawing inspiration from a widely varied pool including Fela Kuti, DMX, Whitney Houston, Sade, Herbie Hancock, Soulection, J. Cole, and Andre 3000, AYLØ’s soulful, warm and hazy sounds, as highlighted on his fan-favourite cult classics like ‘Island Girl’, ‘Gardens’ and ‘LITT’, have amassed over a million streams on Soundcloud and Spotify, alone.
His latest single ‘PARIS!’ is co-produced with fellow alté frontrunners Le Mav and Odunsi The Engine, and is the first offering from his forthcoming mixtape DNT DLT, which is due for release on July 30. ‘DNT DLT’ is the long awaited follow up to his critically acclaimed 2017 album Insert Project Name and his 2016 Honest Conversations EP.
Fast becoming one of the most talked about names in Irish music, JYELLOWL sends a strong reminder that people who achieve quick success can lose it easily as it comes, through his latest track, ‘Tek Time.’
The follow-up to the Gentlemen Record released banger, ‘Ozone’, finds the rapper in a fiery mood – taking to task those around him who he feels aren’t being as true to themselves.
Taken from his latest self-written/self-produced EP, ‘I See Things Others Can’t’, FABIAN SECON delivers his lead by single ‘Small’, which sees the UK talent experiment with trap tones to his alternative R&B sound. The single arrives after the EP surpass 20 million streams across all platforms.
In support of the EP, Fabian will debut his UK headline show at London’s Camden Assembly on 2nd September.
Formally the bassist for Artic Monkeys, Andy Nicholson aka GOLDTEETH unveils ‘Doin Better’, the first single from his forthcoming self-titled EP, featuring the vocals of Hannah Yadi.
While the bass still remains his main weapon of choice, the last decade has seen the Sheffield producer/musician appear in a vast array of forms. Whether it be as a founding member and bassist of the hip hop and indie-rock hybrid Mongrel, or as a studio producer working with the likes of Toddla T, Swindle, Tom Prior and Terri Walker to name a few – Nicholson has continued to stay active and contribute to Sheffield’s iconic music history.
More recent times have found Nicholson finding and defining his own unique sound. Never afraid to pick up a pen as well as an instrument, GOLDTEETH has given him the time and space to literally transfer more of his ideas on to paper through co-writing with Hannah Yadi (Frank Gamble).
