New Track: It’s The Time – Lulu James
Known for her evocative and distinctive sound, Tanzanian born/ British singer LULU JAMES returns with two brand new singles via a double A-side EP. Her upcoming releases feature work with award-winning producer Ronni Vindalh, who has written and produced albums for MO and Kendrick Lamar, and a collaboration with British producers Gorgon City.
First single, It’s the Time was written with Ronni Vindalh. The three-minute production is accompanied with a conceptual music video, which premiered with Notion magazine. “It’s a melodramatic 21st Century Soul track. I wrote this song with the amazing Ronni Vindalh in my kitchen during probably one of the most difficult times of my life. So I spoke to the universe, riding this beat with my words.” – Lulu James.
It’s the Time EP is released 16 Sept.
New Track: Final Exit – Tom Mitchell
NEW LEASE MUSIC is proud – nope wrong word – ecstatic to welcome back TOM MITCHELL with his spanking new single, Final Exit.
The Bristolian alternative folk rocker and songwriter last made an appearance back in 2014 with the ever-so-soothing Shadow In The Water.
So if you’re trying to get rid of your weekend hangover, this will do the trick – listen now to his less-than-24-hour effort and happy Monday!
New Music Video: We are Young – Bella Loka
Exactly a week after appearing with the mystical visual to single, Honey B, indie-pop duo BELLA LOKA are back with another fun-pack video to new single, We Are Young.
The four-minute production is “a short sharp slap in the face and a kiss on both cheeks to the music industry”, says singer/songwriter and video director Tea Boothby, before adding, “just like me!” The song is a mildly venomous, deeply sarcastic f*&k you to the “so-called tastemakers” who sit and tell you that you have “everything but time.” A defiant call that “we’ll sing until our time has come”, We Are Young is a challenge to keep going, never give up, and refuse to allow anyone to tell you that you are too young or too old to achieve something.
Produced and directed by Tea Boothby, the black and white visual was filmed on location around BELLA LOKA’s hometown of Camden Town, London, including scenes filmed on and under the bridges at Regent’s Canal and in the famous Stables market.
For other scenes, the pair asked friends and family to film their young children dancing to the song and to send their footage for use in the video, and the result include scenes filmed in places as far-flung as Australia. The video contrasts the creative and free-spirited nature of children when left to their own devices with the soul-destroying and barren constraints of what’s left for young struggling artists trying to be heard.
So you know what to do – hit the play button and unleash your inner child.
New Music Video: Down – XamVolo
XAMVOLO makes a return on NEW LEASE MUSIC with a too-cool-for-school visual to his latest single, Down, coming from his forthcoming EP, Chirality, out this Friday.
The 22-year-old has written, produced and arranged his project, which will feature brooding, eclectic mixture of jazz and soul over hypnotic beats in which he describes as resembling “a messy mind over raw, dark jazz grooves”.
If you like this single, well the EP will be a real treat! Check out the video.
