New Music Video: Flavours – D L K

Having released the audio for ‘Favours’ last month, talented Londoner Duramaney D L K Kamara has now released the artistic, striking and bold video.

Making clever use of camera angles, colours and silhouettes, the visual, directed by Reece Selvadorai, channels the senses to the emotion in the record, highlighting the wants and needs from other people in life and the very sense of how alone we are in that moment, for the better or worse.

Taken from his debut EP ‘F*** It Let’s Move’, D L K’s self-produced 5-track, ‘Favour’ leads with promise as to his future in the music scene. Featuring co-production from Thrilla, a notable and rising producer from the UK who co-produced ‘Favours’ alongside Meshach and D L K, the EP also features KESHAV credited as co-producer on ‘Stay Low’ and a featured guest performance from a longtime friend and talented aspiring rapper from North London, Sweeney featured on ‘Big Facts’.

EP Review: Watch The Ton3s – The Hamiltones

After appearing to be lying dormant for a few years, the recent explosion of that good old R&B, as we know it, has got REAL…and I mean SERIOUSLY real, with laid-back soulful summer vibes popping up from all directions.

Keeping that rich soulful R&B alive, are three powerhouses from North Carolina: J. Vito, Tony Lelo, and 2E – otherwise known as THE HAMILTONES.

Containing six tracks, their latest EP, ‘Watch The Ton3s’ primarily features 90’s-esque semi-chilled vibes well suited for the summer, with backing vocal arrangements occasionally adding a gospel edge. The trio each take turns and robustly deliver their classically rich soulful vocals on each and every pieces, adding that extra spice.

Since these guys first appeared on NEW LEASE MUSIC with single, ‘Pieces’, I’ve been keeping a very close eye on their next move…and I have to say that this EP has more than satisfy my curiosity – and if you’re seriously into your R&B, do not pass up on these three ton3s.
