New Music Video: Same Old Me – Dabbla

Potent Funk’s recruit DABBLA has unveiled the visual for track ‘Same old Me’. Produced by the mighty Hashfinger and directed by SpinCity, the latest release is lifted from the second solo LP ‘Death Moves’, out now. The album features appearances from Rag N Bone Man, PENGSHUi’s Illaman, Jam Baxter, Eva Lazarus and DABBLA‘s grime family LDZ.

For the tenth single from his ‘Death Moves album’, DABBLA delivers a healthy dose of brutally honest poetry fused with a candid sense of self-deprecating dark humour. The menacing production works as a crispy base as the UK veteran spitter sprinkles his spicy ingredients to prove why he’s one of the realist out there.

Follow up single ‘Tweeters’, which features award-winning soul vocalist Rag N Bone Man, is due for release soon…be sure to look out for it

EP Review: All In Me – Laolu

LAOLU‘s 2018 single, ‘How To Feel’ has got me fired up enough to look out for her debut  EP, ‘All In Me’…and judging from the strong support she received from BBC 1xtra and The Best Line Fits, it seems that I’m not the only one left hanging for the nine-track set.

Kicking off with a moody introduction through single ‘Buffering’, the EP predominantly delves into the haziness of smooth R&B and soul. Fifth effort, ‘Disconnect’, showcases a flair of the blues, intensifying the spine-tingling sensation presented in the EP. ‘So Right’ momentarily breaks away from the collection’s misty theme by injecting a smooth chirpiness of the Afro/reggae-esque bassline.

Those who admire the musical prowess of artist H.E.R, will definitely warm towards the South-East London songstress, who wants to offer the listener a fresh perspective on traditional R&B/Soul – and she does it perfectly through ‘All In Me’. Check her out below:

Combining the world of chess and music may seem like an impossible task, but Chilean conceptual artist JUGA proved that the two worlds can coexist with finesse through her debut single, ‘Isolated Pawn.’

Featuring a combination of stunning orchestration, Spaghetti Western guitar twang, and JUGA’s spine-chillingly yearning vocals with lyrics displaying unflappable survival techniques through difficult situations, ‘Isolated Pawn’ could be easily hailed as a James Bond theme song.

Also a celebrated ambassador of chess in her home country and a women’s chess activist worldwide, JUGA has already captured the hearts of Chess enthusiasts worldwide with live performances of the track at the 2018 Chess Olympiad in Georgia and the Global Chess Festival in Budapest, with her target now being to captivate the wider world to the science, psychology and art of Chess.
