New Track: Call Me – Aria

Upcoming pop singer-songwriter ARIA makes a return with single ‘Call Me’. Laced with the atmospheric blend of synths and guitar, the Londoner’s latest offering expresses the letting-go of fear for the sake of love.

ARIA marked her return to the music scene in 2017 with the release of her championed single, ‘Hope,’ which instantly captured the attention and support of tastemakers. Her most recent single, ‘You Got Me Good’ climbed to #37 on Spotify’s Viral Charts in the UK and Ireland, earned its place on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK, and received radio play from Fubar, Hoxton and BBC Introducing.

With ethereally soulful vocals that compliment the arrangements, reminiscent of the eighties, ‘Call Me’, has all the right ingredients to carry on the success of its predecessors…have a listen.

Album Review: Lightheaded II – Dizzy Rambunctious

For his latest project, DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS braves it out and goes on a turbulent journey of dealing with a heartache from a relationship.

Starting off with melancholic tones, reflecting the first stages of a break-up, ‘Lightheaded II’ offers glimmer of light with an upbeat offering through ‘Heartbreak’, possessing the raciness of guitar plucks with along the EDM-ish drive.

With the tempo tuned down a notch or two, the second half of the album is free of the moody presence of the dense bassline and makes way for those carefree moments which is conveyed through a chirpy, modern take of boombap and a rather flirtatious jazz/soul combo (we’re talking Al Jarreau style).

Through ‘Lightheaded II’, DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS shows no boundaries to his talents, taking on a Simply Red’s Classic ‘Holding Back The Years’, through track, ‘Holding On’. What I love about this album is that it tells a clear story with minimal words…check it out…

Must Listens: Broken Love, Depression, Brighter Days, Holding On, Just To Get By
