Star song: Telephone – Lem and the White Fire

Today’s song is Telephone by British soul/pop act LEM AND THE WHITE FIRE.

Hailing from West Sussex, the 12-piece band literally burst onto the music scene this year with their chirpy, uplifting sound of guitars, piano, trumpets, and saxophones coupled with unquestionably rich ADELE-esque vocals delivered by powerhouse singer Lem Parker. Their uplifting stamp on soul and pop has kept them real busy with back-to-back live performances across the UK.

Counting JANELLE MONAE, ADELE and SHIRLEY BASSEY amongst their influences, LEM AND THE WHITE FIRE unleashed their debut single Telephone in June. Have a listen to Telephone as you definitely get to hear that delightful, pick-me-up fusion of the different instruments that puts them (without a shadow of a doubt) in a league of their own.

So has Telephone put a sneaky smile on your face? The single is available for purchase on Itunes. Before you head over here, may I suggest you listen to Domino Romeo? #Stunning!

Review: Boy Meets World – CoryLz

At the age of 22, Cory L. Houston – aka CORYLZ– already has a collection of mixtapes under his belt.

Exposed to different types of music from a very young age, this Tennessee rapper chose hip hop as ‘a main musical style of expression.’ But it wasn’t until he showcased his talent at a local party in 2005 that he was more than serious in becoming a hip-hop artist.

Without further adieu, he churned out eight mixtapes: Starlight (2005) Deep Boyz Anthem (2006); Liven Dead (2007); Era 21 (2008); Real World (2009); Heartless (2012); Cold Hearted (2012) and more recently Boy Meets World (2013)

Released last month, Boy Meets World feature some serious super raw/rough sex lyrics with smoother-than-chocolate/after hours beats – just have a listen to Melody Rapture and Mash Potatoes. I have to say that Boy meets World is not all about raw/rough sex lyrics, as the mixtape also shows a vulnerable side to the rapper. This upriser delivers his spoken word/baby-i’m- so-into-you raps in the angelic, super smooth Look of Love. Unread Letter shows his hurt he suffered from his lover over that super smooth drive. His on-pint spoken word raps returns in the heartfelt track Sheet Rock Soul which gives an insight of this young rapper’s rough upbringing and problems he had encountered in his short life.

CORYLZ hopes that his talent would one day gain interest beyond his hometown. After listening to the mixtape, I think that time is coming real soon for this hot hip hopper. Check out Boy Meets World here.

Star Song: Millionaire – Two4One

Check out today’s song, Millionaire by TWO4ONE. This track is coming from their album Bargain Basement Shit, released in March.

TWO4ONE consists of Dutch Young ( described as The, Man, The Myth and The Legend) and Belligerent. Together these hip hop duo bring to the table the fashion forward beats with lyrics that’s relatable and definitely speak to your soul. Within a year, the combination of head-rolling beats and clever but hard-hitting wordplay took these guys from small bars in their hometown Missouri to the airwaves in Alaska.

Well have a listen to Millionaire, as this track just displays that these guys are steadily going places. With laid back raps that grooves with the smooth, easy-cruising bassline, it won’t be surprising that they will go way beyond the Alaska airwaves in no time.

So if you’re digging this track, head over to their Bandcamp page and check out the album.
