Sylo Shares New R&B Driven Piece, ‘Ginny’

Formerly as known as Sylo Nozra, SYLO‘s brand new single, ‘Ginny’ tackles the issue of being in a cycle of addiction, presented over a smooth, groove-driven R&B arrangements.

Born into a Korean family with religious roots, Sylo sang in church services as a child, leading him to learn several instruments at once. Sylo’s musical talents were further enhanced by his older sister who played 90s R&B and hip-hop.

The Toronto-based newcomer then turned his hand to writing and performing his own songs. His work has received global recognition, charting virally on both Spotify and Apple, amassing well over ten million plays. Additionally, Sylo’s songwriting skills have placed him in studios amongst Grammy-winning/nominated songwriters in Los Angeles, London and Toronto.

‘Ginny’ is taken from Sylo’s debut album, set for release in August.

Song of the Day: Malibu – Stumbleine (ft. Elizabeth Heaton)

Taken from his ‘Sink Into Ehter’ album, UK producer STUMBLEINE‘s cover of the Hole song, ‘Malibu’ features Elizabeth Heaton’s (Midas Fall) delicate, dream-like vocals wafting over the hazy instrumental waves like tendrils of smoke, as they both grow ever more desperate, and slowly crash.

Speaking of his dreamy cover,  Stumbleine says: “Hole’s ‘Malibu’ is the perfect balance of bittersweetness, a golden soundscape of serene melancholy. Tracks which illustrate that symmetry between light and dark are timeless to me, they mirror life with piercing clarity.”

Also known for his work in post-dubstep trio Swarms, Stumbleine has steadily built a cult of admirers around himself following collaborations across his varied albums and EPs with the likes of ASA, Shura, Violet Skies, Birds of Passage and Steffaloo.

Have a listen to Stumbleine’s take on ‘Malibu’ below:

Track Premiere: Only – Dorian Thorson

NEW LEASE MUSIC is EXTREMELY pleased to be the first to present DORIAN THORSON‘s brand new single titled ‘Only’.

Boasting a laid-back, trap/afterhours vibe, ‘Only’ is about experiencing that first love and how it can fade away without having any real closure.

Speaking of his new release, Dorian says: “I wrote this song as a goodbye to mine as I’m pretty sure I’ll never see them again. I didn’t really get the closure I would have liked so ‘Only’ is my closure. Don’t get it twisted, I’ve moved on years ago but this song tells a key part of my life story and needed to be released to the world. That’s just how i want all my proceeding work to be –  Journalistic, personal yet relatable material.”

‘Only’ was supposed to be included in his debut album ‘The Come Up’ (check out the album and review here.) Dorian explains: “I felt like ‘Only’ didn’t fit among the others as it has a whole different instrumental for it.”

Out today on all major download and streaming sites, ‘Only’ marks the beginning of Dorison’s shift from his ‘hip-hop/Rnb’ combo to something more sensual and soulful. So keep your eye on this serious contender as he releases more material throughout the year.

Why not start with ‘Only’ below…and remember, you heard it first on NEW LEASE MUSIC!

Chynna Lewis Shares Her Brand New Single, ‘Mind And Soul’

CHYNNA LEWIS fell in love with a close friend and out of fear of rejection of wanting more than just a casual fling, she kept her cards close to her chest.

After harbouring those feelings, the Taiwanese Canadian singer-songwriter plucked up the courage to call him. Once the secret was out, the fear of rejection quickly turned to feeling empowered for taking action…and this inspired her to release the brand new single, ‘Mind and Soul’.

Sporting a rather salacious alt-afterhours R&B/soul vibe, ‘Mind and Soul’ explores the playfulness and excitement of a definite attraction between two people… but with the trials and tribulations of today’s dating world, which presents the illusion of choice that exists through apps and people playing games, It makes it near impossible to get the stage of expressing raw and honest feelings in a clear way.

This one’s a real gem…make sure you check out ‘Mind and Soul’ below, out now on all major download/streaming sites.
