Song of the Day: Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) – Let’s Say We Did

Let's say we did

Today’s song is Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) by Swedish Lo-Fi band, LET’S SAY WE DID. The single is coming from their four-track EP, Such A Shame released in May.

With strong influences  from American indie bands in the 1990’s, LET’S SAY WE DID has created guitar based, lo fi indie pop since 2008. Having risen from the ashes of previous projects, the five-piece band began perfecting and releasing music on their own record label Nesna Records. To date they have released two albums, three EPs, a series of singles and appeared on several compilation albums.

In addition to festival appearances such as at Umeå Open, Island in the Sun and Rookiefestivalen in Hultsfred, these smooth indie pop rockers have performed at numerous club gigs around Europe. Their smooth, chilled out productions earned them a personal invitation by British band YUCK as support act at their release party for the album, Glow & Behold . The band’s invitation extended to a collaboration as frontman Sebastian soothing vocals are featured on YUCK’s latest EP, Southern Skies.  As a band, LET’S SAY WE DID  collaborated with other acts such as WITHERED HAND, IDA MARIA and TOP SOUND.

Now I brought you up to speed with the band, have a blast at Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something). They’re one of the few bands today who put that real smoothness back into rock with the perfect balance of the drum and guitars.

If you like the sound of Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something), it’s worth checking out their latest EP, Such A Shame

Song of the Day: Breathe – Incisive

Today’s song is Breathe by INCISIVE.

If you’re not familiar with this smooth artist, let me give you a quick introduction: over the years, the London rapper has worked with the likes of Reggae musician JULIAN MARLEY, West London singer-songwriter and producer SHAKKA  and rapper YJ in his track Everythings Alright.

He’s known for effortlessly blending elements of soul and R&B, while maintaining a homegrown style of rapping. The contrast of the two makes a unique sound which received heavy rotation on BET, MTV and Choice FM.

Produced by JNuro, Breathe reflects obstacles  in life.  The one shot video brings this concept to life, showing the slick emcee trying to get to a simple destination but being faced with a number of obstacles and situations, turning what should be a simple journey into  pure drama! Did he reach his destination? Well you have a check the video to find out!
