OUT TODAY: Artist/Producer/Writer Christof Jennings returns with sensual earworm ‘Taking Over’

After a short hiatus from producing critically-acclaimed projects, including ‘Ghostin’ and ‘Excuse Me’ from his debut project ‘The Damian Mixtape’, CHRISTOF JENNINGS makes a sensuous return with single, ‘Taking Over’, released today (14th February) on Bandcamp.

Perfectly timed for a Valentines release, ‘Taking Over’ is a steamy slow-burn that has been quietly waiting in the archives for its moment. Originally produced for an indie record label, the track was shelved due to creative and personal differences, leading Christof to part ways with the label before the song ever reached the spotlight — until now.

Reimagined and reclaimed, ‘Taking Over’ is a stripped-back, Motown-esque soul offering that drips with intimacy and restraint. The track pulses with raw desire — an overwhelming attraction so powerful that words begin to fail. Serving as a tantalising preview of his forthcoming EP ‘XLV’, slated for release later this year, the single signals a confident and seductive new chapter for Christof.

Beginning his career as a vocalist, Christof toured across the UK with function bands The Young Drifters and The Benidorm Stylistics before turning his focus to music production. He honed his craft at ACM Birmingham and Tileyard Education London, earning both a BA (Hons) and a Master’s degree in Music Production. His creative momentum surged after securing a place on the Sony Writing Camp in 2021, where two of his co-written songs were later featured on hit TV shows, Love Island USA and Hollyoaks.

Puffed with a new-found confidence from his time at Sony writing camp, Christof dropped his debut project, ‘The Damian Mixtape’ in 2022, collaborating with various upcoming artists from and around his home city in Birmingham. ‘The Damian Mixtape’ received widespread accolades from reputation blogs, magazines and radio stations across the globe. Standout R&B track ‘Ghostin’, performed by Nigel Hinds, topped the CHBN radio’s The Playlist chart for four consecutive weeks while ‘Excuse Me, performed by Zara Sykes, was aired on BBC Radio London, where Jacqueline Shepherd praised Christof’s production prowess.

After a brief sojourn in his native Canada, where he collaborated with a number of artists further expanding his skill as a composer and writer, Christof felt it was time, invest in HIMSELF.

Despite his burgeoning music journey, Christof occasionally allowed the demons to creep in with insecurities and low self- esteem, which held him back. Now that he has pushed those demons aside, Christof Jennings is more than ready to step into the limelight. His new sultry single, ‘Taking Over’ – out today(14th February) exclusively via Bandcamp – marks a bold and unapologetic  chapter in his journey. Check out the lyric video below:

Song of the Day: Made For Me – Liam L Joseph

UK singer-songwriter LIAM L JOSEPH has a gift for turning life’s experiences into music, capturing raw emotion in every note. His latest single, ‘Made For Me’, emerged from a moment of inspiration on a scenic beach in Las Palmas, Spain, where the sound of waves, wind, and laughter, framed by blue skies and towering mountains, sparked sweet, harmonic melodies in his mind.

The track blends smooth neo-soul textures with Liam’s serene vocals, gliding over a warm, grooving bassline that reflects his multi-instrumentalist roots. The result is a romantic song that feels effortless, tender, and timeless. ‘Made For Me’ is now available on all major streaming platforms.

At 16, he composed his first piece for a choir, a milestone that quickly led him into broader songwriting, performance, and production. Music has been central to Liam’s life from an early age. Raised in a musical household — with a singer mother, a multi-instrumentalist father, and musician brothers— he was immersed in melody and rhythm from day one. His passion was further cemented when his brother gifted him his first professional bass guitar, a Yamaha TRB. Influenced by artists such as John Legend, he emphasises emotional clarity and authenticity, believing that honesty is essential for a song to resonate truly.

Beyond his solo work, Liam has established himself as a sought-after session musician, performing with artists including Usher Raymond and Jocelyn Brown, while contributing to multiple collaborative projects. During the COVID-19 lockdown, he co-founded the band formerly known as JAAD, releasing original material. Surrounded by so many talented creatives in the band, Liam re-ignited his creative spark, paving the way for his solo single ‘Set The Tone’ in September 2024.

With ‘Made For Me’, Liam L Joseph continues to define his artistic identity, delivering music that showcases his versatility, musicianship, and creative vision.

‘Made For Me’ is out now on all leading platforms.
