Christian hip-hop artist MIKE BODY enters NEW LEASE MUSIC for the first time with a very personal track, dedicated to his father.
‘Get Up Dad’ documents body’s feelings of not having a constant father figure in his childhood. Despite this, he turned it around and repaired the relationship with his father in adulthood, creating a stronger-than-ever bond. He also encourages both father AND child with a stagnant relationship to do the same.
This touching single is from Body’s latest EP, ‘Last Will And Testament’ – check it out sometime…for now, hit the play button below…
West London singer and songwriter EMIKO rocks up on today hotspot with his single titled ‘Is It Real’. Highly recommended if you like Daniel Ceasar, Ray BLK, and DVSN, and with a velvety smooth, beautiful and piercing voice, an infectious artistic personality, and undeniable storytelling and songwriting ability, this 22-year old is the fast-rising new UK R&B power voice you will fall in love with this year.
Taken from EMIKO’s forthcoming debut EP to be released in the autumn, ‘It Is Real’ – produced by South London musician Hilts and his frequent Turtle Basement collaborator Monks – is a smooth Jazz-esque R&B opus, backed by lush piano arrangements and exquisite horns, over which EMIKO’s glorious vocal dexterity comes to the forefront, as he sings about finding freedom in love.
Heavily influenced by great artists such as Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, and Erykah Badu, EMIKO possesses a glorious voice that is nurtured in his distinct blend of R&B and Soul music, as well as an infectious energy and character that shine through in his songs. The Notting Hill native expresses his musical hopes and ambitions in one simple statement, “bringing people together, from far and wide, to experience something so special that words alone can never truly encapsulate the feeling”.
THE DAYDREAMERS have bounced right back into the blog’s limelight with a CatRice Roots-directed video for latest single, ‘MisMatch’, dropped over the weekend. The track was previously featured in May.
NATTY BOI is back, bringing his first installment of a series of thought-provoking tracks lined up for this year – ‘Street Poet (Poetry in the Streets)’. The track is from his upcoming EP, ‘I Am Who I Am.’
