New Track! Take It All – Elle Deva

Elle Deva

If you’re longing for a smooth end to a trying week, duo ELLE DEVA‘s new acoustic/soulful single, Take It All will,  do just that and no doubt will become instant favourite.

Forming eight years ago, when Italian guitarist Michele met singer/songwriter Lauren, the two have been working together ever since, taking inspiration from their diverse musical backgrounds and their strong Christian beliefs. Having lived in Italy for a while, they decided to record some of their work in London to collaborate with producers and session musicians that would help them reach a new market with their catchy acoustic songs.

The duo released their debut EP Rain Roses back in October 2014 and since then have gone on to build their reputation and their profile within the music industry having had press coverage in Italian newspapers as well as gaining radio exposure.

Take It All is out now from upcoming EP Familiar Ground, set for release on 11th March 2016…look out for that! For now, watch the captivating video to the single.

Malynda Hale

Since her last appearance on NEW LEASE MUSIC with single Hey Stranger, I always wondered what happened to songstress MALYNDA HALE. Six months down the line,  the curiosity was quashed when she slipped me her full-length album, Pieces Of Me.

With lessons of love, heartbreak and self-discovery all faced with unflappable optimism, the 11-track collection boasts seamlessly soothing soundscapes of modern R&B, pop and at times drive-time rock, with are all lifted by that classically rich soulful vocals.

This lady hasn’t lost her touch; it’s worth investing your time to check out this treasure via iTunes.

Must Listens: Gray, Falling, Better Than Nothing, Pieces Of Me.

New Track! Until The Day – The Bakery Boys (ft. The Thirst)

The latter part of 2015 has been kind to brothers Shack and Ace Boogie and long-term friend Dirty Dre – aka – THE BAKERY BOYS. The previous single Get Away, was named 1Xtra’s Track of the Week. Not becoming too complacent of their recent triumph, the boys dropped another track, Until The Day.

Their latest effort offers words of inspiration, urging youngsters to reach their goals. The four-minute slick banger features indie  band The Thirst’s Mensa Hart and Lock Laser who is the brother Shack and Ace. It comes to no surprise that the brothers formed a strong bond for music as their father was in the 90s cult group, Soul II Soul.

Apart from making waves on the music scene, supporting the likes of Big Sean and Labrinth and performing  twice at the Wireless Festival, these guys have their fingers in more than one business pie. Their fashion label,  Justin Hustlin, was the fast selling streetwear on ASOS and their social organisation Justinspire, sees them mentoring and volunteering in their local community – breaking down misconceptions that rappers are all about the money and honies!

Until The Day will be released from tomorrow…but for now, watch the video and soap up some words of wisdom.
