tom project

Today’s song is F.L.Y (Fucking Love You) by Italian alternative rock band T.O.M PROJECT. The single is coming from their debut EP, The Selfish Love Manifesto, released in March.

T.O.M PROJECT which stands for Temibile Orchestra Meccanica (Fearsome Mechanical Orchestra) is like PINK FLOYD, DAVID BOWIE and RADIOHEAD rolled  into one. A little hard to imagine? Well have a bash at F.L.Y – the DAVID BOWIE- esque vocals works brilliantly with the melodic and slightly aggressive sound of the guitar. Simply angelic.

Cirque du Sound -Drifting Tide

1. Drifting Tide
2. Under My Skin
3. Secrets

Danielle Addy (vocals) and Cameron Stewart-Mathews (Drums/production) –aka CIRQUE DU SOUND – was featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC last month with their track Reason …now they’re back, armed with their debut EP Drifting Tide, released 12 September.

Drifting Tide offers pure enigmatic style of electronic dance tracks that can EASILY become  favourites. The EP kicks off with the fun, pop-infused Drifting Tide, where Addy’s dreamy vocal just melts perfectly into the production. It gets better as Addy’s vocals turn all daunting in the mysteriously dark Under My Skin. The Three-track production ends on a high with the infectiously funky Secrets, which has the serious potential of becoming a club filler.

In just three tracks, there’s no mistaking that CIRQUE DU SOUND have well and truly found their niche in electronic music.  So if you’re a great lover of electronic music, it’s well worth downloading the EP…for FREE!

Review: Romaine Dixon – Lost In It All

Romaine Dixon

1. Only One
2. Perfect Stranger
3. Wanting More
4. Guilty (Extended Version)
5. Private Dancer
6.  Live Better

There are some singers that are way too good to be left by the waste side – and ROMAINE DIXON is one of them. I featured  this R&B singer/songwriter/dancer recently here on NEW LEASE MUSIC with her knockout performance of the track Wanting More – which is one of her release from her debut EP Lost In It All, out today.

This six-track EP is bursting with R&B pop and dance numbers, topped off by the South Londoner’s well- crafted songwriting – and rich soulful vocals. Lost In It All features sultry tracks Only One and Private Dancer which shows that this all-round entertainer has all the right ingredients to make it AND Stay in the music business. The EP just keeps getting better, as ROMAINE DIXON effortlessly rocks to the high-energy club track Guilty, but the star track of the EP is Live Better. From a very young age, the 20 year old has been perfecting her singing, song writing and dancing and Live Better documents her journey and determination of becoming a creditable artist. An absolute must listen.

Over the past year, ROMAINE DIXON has performed at the Olympic Stadium as well as various gigs around London. Judging from this album, it won’t be long that she will perform beyond her hometown and become a firm fixture in the charts.

Star Song: Positive Change – Bobb Shaw

Bobb Shaw

Today’s song is Positive Change by British indie rocker BOBB SHAW. The single is coming from the EP Stars Will Fall, released in June.

Stars Will Fall has made quite an impact, as the first single from the EP, Whiskey was aired on BBC Introducing Leeds – just  a few hours of its release! Days later, he was approached by the producer of The Voice UK to attend an audition.

No doubt his fruitful journey is set to continue with  Positive Change. This laid-back single, which is topped off by this guy’s soothing  and slightly husky vocals, is perfect  for relaxing on a hot summer’s day.

If you like the sound of Positive Change, it’s worth heading over to his SoundCloud page to check out his EP.
