Song of the Day: Anyway – Tevan (ft. JoJo HD)

Introducing himself in the music world alongside top YouTuber ‘JoJo’,TEVAN drops his freshly coined ‘desi-swing’ sounds for Your listening pleasure…

To give you the low-down, TEVAN was born to Sri-Lankan parents some 21 years ago, and was raised in Croydon. The young star relocated to Bulgaria to go to University where he met a girl and fell in love but things took a turn for the worst when her family were unaccepting of the relationship. Fast forward to 2019 and the result of TEVAN’s influences and affairs of the heart have been wrapped up and captured in this snappy debut number from the man himself.

Hugely proud of his both his Sri Lankan heritage and his Croydon roots, the upriser has collaborated with a bunch of awesome music peeps to bring ‘Anyway’ to life. Working with Hot Money Studios, the production is a hip-swaying mix of afro-swing whilst paying homage to his own heritage via the Indian tabla within the beat. YouTuber ‘JoJo’, who has also recently debuted his musical talents with his release of ‘My Queen’ on GRM Daily and hit almost one million views, joins the squad with an impressive feature verse. Finally, to put the icing on the cake and bring the all of the elements to life with the crispest and clearest of masters, the one and only Chris Athens, who has leant his ear and touch to everyone from Drake and Rick Ross to Wiz Khalifa, Jeezy, Usher, N.E.R.D. and Erykah Badu.

With the video premiering exclusively via GRM Daily and the track available on DSP’s now, TEVAN submits a serious case for his debut with ‘Anyway’.

EP Review: Nothing Is Forever – Shon Jay

SHON JAY is that guy who set the bar high – and I mean unobtainably high among his music contemporaries.

His latest EP, ‘Nothing Is Forever’ may be only eight – tracks long, but there’s an electric mix of genres – from funk, old school soul and even an expected appearance of a little country – all of which oozes undisputed class.

Among a crowded industry that’s filled with quick-fix hits that’s easily forgotten, SHON JAY‘s ‘Nothing Is Forever’ is a true testament that there’s still GOOD and MEANINGFUL MUSIC out there and it’s definitely a collection that can be enjoyed from five or even ten years from now – I guess some things last forever.

Check him out below – it’s like listening to soul idols Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau and George Benson, all wrapped up in one.
