New Music Video: Mistaken – Tino Kamal (ft. Dukus)

Proclaiming a resilient demeanour TINO KAMAL has been climbing through the ranks and he elevates to his highest level so far with his latest release ‘Mistaken’, featuring producer and artist Dukus.

Taken from his ADHD album release, Tino’s eclectic edge is an incarnation of trap and pop and his flow oozes with a melodic and rhythmic edge providing a versatile twist to the artist. His flair for merging different genres allows him to develop a sound that lies on the cusp of the mainstream and underground scene.

Hailing from West London, Tino has catapulted onto the radar of key industry heads including the likes of fashion photographer Nick Night OBE and Atlantic Record’s A&R Twin B. He launched into the scene with his single ‘London Baby’ and has since released bangers such as ‘Shooters’, ‘London Kings’, ‘Go’ as well as his project ‘Young Salvador’. He also appeared in Charlie Sloth’s infamous ‘Fire In The Street’ series back in 2014. In addition to his musical endeavours, he also delves into the world of fashion where he models and was featured in Wonderland’s Dolce AW14 campaign.

Music has been the catalyst for his creativity and it has provided the gateway to allow him to freely vent and express his thoughts. Not only does it provide him with the canvas to showcase his vision but it allows him to have a sense of freedom, something he is not only grateful for but respects too, following a stint in prison that saw him face the prospect of life imprisonment due to a case of ‘Mistaken’ identity.

“Freedom is everything to me, creatively, all that s***. ‘Mistaken’ is just my black & white way of telling you where I’ve come from as of lately and how I was feeling at that moment in time. Being locked up in a cage for 23hrs a day for 20+ yrs isn’t a life I planned on seeing but I guess I gotta thank those four walls for the time spent within them because my music’s powerful!” – Tino Kamal

Song of the Day: Don’t Get Me Wrong (Cover) – Sophia Marshall

SOPHIA MARSHALL’s busy year continues with her latest release, ‘Smells Like Rubber’, a two-track homage to Chrissie Hynde, The Pretenders, living and working in a man’s world, and making no apologies for any of it.

‘Smells Like Rubber’ – who knows where that came from – but whatever the titular inspiration, it’s the songs that matter, and ‘Smells Like Rubber’, contains two classics from The Pretenders’ canon: ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ and ‘I Go To Sleep’ (the latter written by Ray Davies, but never recorded by The Kinks), both originally released in the ‘80s, and both utterly timeless.

‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ make it to today’s Song of the Day spot for its spine tinglingly feather-light and rootsy treatment on a classic that became a top ten hit in the US and UK back in 1986.

Any The Pretenders fans will find this version a delight…go ahead and have a listen…and if you like what you hear, be sure to check out Sophia’s  Kasabian inspired ‘lin-dah’ EP, released last month –  click here.

New Music Video: Soliloquy to The Self – C.A.M

Following his acclaimed EP featuring videos ‘Act Like You Know’ and ‘Cold Soul’,  C.A.M keeps the momentum up, with ‘Soliloquy to The Self’.

Staying consistent with reflective and insightful content, the London emcee delivers picturesque lyrics and conceptual bars. Speaking of his newest offering, C.A.M explains: “Soliloquy to the self is based on my observation that in current times we lack the ability and courage to look deep inside ourselves.”

C.A.M flows deftly over production from Giallo Point, the in demand producer whose recent collaborations include US heavy weights Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Hus Kingpin and Planet Asia. Cuts come from DJ Jabba Tha Kut to help deliver this raw and authentic slammer
