Song of the Day: Bonnie & Clyde – Zaneita

North West London’s ZANEITA teams up with South London’s Kiddo 93 for their ride or die anthem, ‘Bonnie & Clyde’.

The track explores the trials and tribulations of a couple young and in love, battling through themes of crime and lust. Zaneita expresses her infatuation with the lifestyle her lover lives, but also the turmoil she feels knowing that it’s not the life she wants.

‘Bonnie & Clyde’ bears a unique and fresh sound, undoubtedly setting Zaneita apart from other artists in an increasingly growing UK R&B scene.

Zaneita’s love for music began after being gifted Alicia Keys’ debut album ‘Songs In A Minor’ on CD, eventually leading her to pursue a career as a fully fledged artist.

Growing up, Zaneita was also influenced by artists such as Toni Braxton, TLC and Lauryn Hill, leading her to develop her own distinctive voice. This, teamed with her infectious melodies and gripping storylines, effortlessly captivates Zaneita’s listeners with each track.

At the start of 2021, Zaneita began work on her debut EP ‘The Girl Who Lived’, with the first single ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ released in December of that year. In signature Zaneita style, the track, produced by BeatzByDB, is an Afrobeat infused offering with smooth R&B undertones.

Song of the Day: Let’s Flow – RizzyB

East London’s RIZZYB returns with his latest Summer sizzler ‘Let’s Flow’. Aptly written on Valentine’s Day with his signature style ever potent on the track, ‘Let’s Flow’ is the perfect fusion of Rap merged with melodic vocals to create his own Afroswing-infused sound.

With the official TikTok sound already gaining traction ahead of the drop, it’s safe to say Rizzy is gearing up to take over this Summer, one single at a time…

Born and bred in Waltham Forest, East London, rising star RizzyB proves time and time again why he is one to watch within the current UK scene.

Rizzy’s artistic scope knows no bounds, having grown up on a plethora of different genres and sounds. From age 9 he became heavily immersed in music, listening religiously on a Walkman that was gifted to him.

Notably, Rizzy’s single ‘Feeling Waved’ has racked up over 150k streams across all streaming platforms, as well as track ‘My One’ being added to the official Spotify ‘Afro/Bashment’ and ‘We Move’ playlists.

His most recent project ‘Players Love Cycle’, which he dropped on Valentines Day this year, also received recognition from BBC 1Xtra presenter Remi Burgz, as well as radio play on KISS FM, Capital Xtra, Trickstar Radio, Reprezent and Flex FM. Check him out below…
