Jake Aldridge when i'm feeling down

UK rapper JAKE ALDRIDGE collaborates with fellow UK artist and singer/songwriter, Ellie Jamison for the first time, with his latest single, When I’m Feeling Down, as a way of thanking a loyal friend for many years of support.

Ellie has been performing since the age of 9 and has worked closely with Amy Wadge, who co-wrote the Grammy winning song, Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud.

His latest upbeat offering has further built-in quality as it features production by California-based Johann Elliott, who has worked with Jake on previous tracks.

Get Your Sexy On Lovestarrs

Brother and sister, Sarah and Hamish McIntosh – aka electro pop outfit LOVESTARRS –  have released a fun-packed video to their single, Get Your Sexy On.

Previously known as The Good Natured, they were signed to Parlophone/EMI a few years ago and dropped by the label with an album ready to be released. The duo subsequently found a new home with DEFDISCO whose ethos puts creative control in the hands of the artist, building a community rather than a roster.

The single is now available on all major music outlets.

Song of the Day: Delroy Lindo – Forebear

forebear Delroy

One of NEW LEASE MUSIC’s hot favourites FOREBEAR makes an appearance for the first time this year, but a tad more broody and darker than usual.

Their latest single, Delroy Lindo ( in the words of  frontman Scott Goldbaum) tells a story of two people moving to the West Coast to be together only to have the illusion of what they thought waited for them be eaten alive by their false romanticism.

Delroy Lindo is the lead single from their highly anticipated album, Good God, set for release on 26th August. For now, have a listen.
