Gig Highlights: Keely & Co Exposure – Soul Sessions.

Last night I had the utmost pleasure of attending the Keely & Co exposure event at London’s Rich Mix. The event showcase Britain’s most promising stars.

Hip-hop upriser DELLY J definitely caught my attention, as he raise the roof with his track, Rock This Joint – Check it out!

This guy kept on rocking the joint, with his easy- cruising and inspirational track, Dream Big.

The night ended on a high with UK Voice contestant TREVOR FRANCIS. The super smooth performer was a backing singer for array of big acts including P.DIDDY, MARIAH CAREY, JLS, TINIE TEMPAH and GLADYS KNIGHT. Last night, he proved that he was more than a backing singer with his out-of-sight performance – don’t you dare leave this post until you listen to this guy!

If you’re feeling DELLY J performance, you can visit his SoundCloud page and check out his out-of-this-world tracks.

Review: Romaine Dixon – Lost In It All

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.
