New Track: Come Over (Remix) – Ricardo Williams (ft. J Warner, Jordan King & Mark Asari)
Following the release of single ‘Come Over’, RICARDO WILLIAMS joined forces with fellow UK RnB peers J Warner, Jordan King and Mark Asari for the remix of the single, premiered on DJ Ace’s ‘Everything RnB’ show on 1Xtra last week.
Speaking of his latest collaboration, the Birmingham belter singer says “I honestly feel like it’s such a great time for UK RnB right now with so many talented artists in our own backyard. This remix is for the culture. I am a big fan of the 3 of them and the fact that I got them all on the same song is crazy! But it just goes to show, RnB is back and definitely here to stay!”
2018 is going to be a non-stop year for Ricardo. ‘Come Over’ is the first release from his upcoming EP ‘Intermission’ set to be dropped later in the year. The year will also see him place an emphasis on spending as much time as possible doing what he loves; performing live. He will be supporting Faith Evans on her UK tour in April and he will be performing at DJ Ace’s RnB Showcase at Liverpool’s prestigious Sound City Festival in May.
This one comes HIGHLY recommended…check out ‘Come Over’ – the remix.

New Music Video: Honey Dew – Lion Babe
Jillian Hervey and Lucas Goodman – aka LION BABE – have released a mesmerising and epic visual for their latest single ‘Honey Dew’.
Shot in New York’s Taconic Sculpture Park and directed by Chalalai Fischbach and Jett Cain with creative direction from LION BABE, the hazy/ cinematic clip is another stellar example of the dazzling creativity that has set the duo apart in their own league, since they first burst onto the scene with their debut track and visual for the modern classic ‘Treat Me Like Fire’.
The visual follows the release of a set of brand new remixes for their two latest tracks ‘Rockets’ (feat Moe Moks) and ‘Hit The Ceiling’ which saw ‘Rockets’ (feat Moe Moks) given an urgent, Afrostep remix by mOma+Guy and a sultry and soulful update from Simen Sez, whilst ‘Hit The Ceiling’ was given an addictive dance-funk remix from Zikomo and received the remix treatment from legendary dance producer and DJ Kenny Dope.
‘Honey Dew’ was released last month and is taken from LION BABE’s forthcoming project which is out later this year…for now, check out the video…
New Track: Mine – YFS
Afrobeats duo YFS regularly frequent Spotify playlists, building up hundreds of thousands of streams across their work. YouTube displays a similar story with videos such as ‘Be Someone’ and ‘Ale’ providing the understanding as to how long EsDee and Hakeem have been building their name and legacy, whilst more recent records such as ‘Way I Live’ show their continued growth.
Premiered via DJ Tiiny on Captial Xtra, their latest single ‘Mine’, produced by WhoElseButJuelz is playful, sexy and has soul and jazz undertones flowing around the soft tones and accents of YFS, further adding to their consistency of releasing quality records. The duo have become pioneers in UK afrobeats due to their relentless release schedule, awarding them with a cult following.
Having already worked with the likes of Wizkid, Maleek Berry, Burna Boy, Iyanya, 2Kriss, Olamide, Kojo Funds, SK, Sona, MoeLogo and Kwamz and Flava, they have also received numerous co-signs from industry big hitters in the Afrobeats scene. Their debut show at Camden Assembly sold out and they have supported Wizkid at Hammersmith Apollo as well as performing in Nigeria.
With their unquestionable determination and awareness rising quickly around the two young stars, it’s fair to say YFS are on a steady path to further success….have a listen to ‘Mine.’
