Song of the Day: Come Again – JD Cliffe

With his current releases triumphing the UK Urban scene, Spotify have endorsed the musical prodigy adding his previous release to the Official Rap UK Playlist amongst other Official Spotify playlist

BBC 6 Music-Approved Duo Betty Pulls A Fast One Shares Upcoming Single, ‘PlantHunter’

After receiving a firm backing from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, alternative electro/pop outfit BETTY PULLS A FAST ONE (BPFO) are back with full force for their first release of the year titled ‘PlantHunter’.

An airy bed of lo-fi electronics introduces the three-and-a-half minute piece, providing the perfect platform for the delightfully askew vocal performance – which puts you in the mind of 80s pop band Orange Juice and 90s alternative rock band Pulp – to claim centre stage.

BPFO consists of Mal R and Jon K, who came under the radar with their 2016 debut song ‘Today I am Prince’, followed up by their debut album ‘Dressed in Birds’ released in 2018, which chronicles unrequited love and how the planet seems to be set on course for a downward spiral.

The album included their first official single ‘It’s Her Kindness (That Turns Me On)’ which was played on BBC 6 Music and described as ‘classic songwriting’. Tracks from the album have since featured on Lonely Oak Radio, Wolfman Radio and Radio Candy.

As well as providing vocals for BPFO, vocalist and songwriter, Malo Ramsoir has appeared on Hungary’s national Petőfi TV and has also recorded with musicians in the UK, Argentina, Hungary and Spain. As vocalist, he also makes one half of the electronic duo, LiiN.

Songwriter and musician Jon K also has another project up his sleeve with an instrumental collection of music under the name S.W.O.R.N.

Available on all major music platforms from 25th March, ‘PlantHunter’ is the first release from their album, coming out later this year.

Song of the Day: Human Love – Rondo Mo

RONDO MO‘s first release of the year, ‘Human Love’, definitely sets the tone for a promising 2020. The track captures the London-born artist’s signature sound; combining airy synths with colourful production which serves as the perfect backdrop for the BBC Introducing Kent-approved artist’s warm, layered vocals.

Speaking on the release, Rondo Mo says: “Human Love is a song exploring questions of a spiritual nature – namely the contradictions of religion and the existence of god. The track was written in my head whilst on a 10 day silent meditation retreat, which was a pretty different experience to my usual writing technique! The chords and melody and most of the words were just rolling around in my head and luckily stayed there long enough that I could record a rough version of it on the piano when I got home. Then I used the original piano recording and fleshed it out in my studio in Margate using a load of samples and my Prophet synthesiser.”

Guys, be sure to check out Rondo Mo’s ‘Human Love’ as it’s absolutely stunning!
