Song of the Day: Taken – Puppy Pound (ft. Kenah)

    Dynamic duo Bichon and Shepherd who make up PUPPY POUND are continuing to make waves with single ‘Taken’, a mid-tempo love number which features budding singer, Kenah.

    The teenage duo originally started as a trio emerging from a talent hunt and made their debut in 2017. The group has since rolled out numerous singles, an EP and music videos, earning them decent recognition. The versatility of their sound makes them appealing to a wide range of listeners. Fusing elements of Afro-pop, Afrobeat, Hip Hop and R&B, Puppy Pound’s distinctive sound is instantly recognisable.

    ‘Taken’, is their first single of the year, and is yet another step towards the release of the duo’s new project which they have revealed in their interviews will be dropped later this year. Produced by Hulla and mixed and mastered by Milla Mix, Puppy Pound should be added to your ones to watch playlist for 2022. check out the video below

    Jamie Beale Shares Tantalising Debut Single ‘Borderline’, Taken From Upcoming Album

    Taken from his upcoming debut album, expected for release later this year, Bristol-based songwriter JAMIE BEALE‘s debut single ‘Borderline’, sure hits like a sugar rush. The track – an enchanting blend of indie-rock, dream-pop and acid-funk- boasts dewy guitar textures, soaring harmonies and synth-laden soundscapes backed by the shuffling drums and tantalising grooves.

    ‘Borderline’ was written during the winter lockdown in the middle of an increasingly isolated period of his life. His relationship was coming to an end, he was alone in lockdown and his music and touring career within Novatines was looking uncertain, along with his idea of a future within music at all.

    Speaking about the time, Beale states: “I was spending the majority of my time living in a hazy dreamworld, searching for something positive to hold onto, I felt that no matter what, I still had me and my own personal freedom of mind, and there was something comforting about that. Somewhere between my partially self-induced cabin fever madness and a sense of unshakable positivity in an unusual time, I wrote Borderline. I guess it’s a song for people with nowhere to go, and how not knowing where you belong isn’t always a bad thing.”

    As vocalist and songwriter of rock band Novatines, Jamie has an array of musical achievements already under his belt, having toured the UK and Europe extensively as well as receiving national airplay on stations such as BBC Radio 2, 6 and Radio X. Have a listen to the tantalising ‘Borderline’ below…

    Flowerless Unveils New Single, ‘LAB’

    FLOWERLESS is the alter ego of Nightwell lead singer and frontman, Jason Emsallem. The project delves into emotional alt-pop with nods to the Toronto underground hip hop sound.

    With abstract vocal manipulation paired with luscious walls of harmonies, Flowerless aims to be as dynamic as the pop punk scene he grew up with while paying homage to the buttery RnB sound he fell in love with along the way.

    His latest release, ‘LAB,’ reflects on the end of a relationship which taught Flowerless that he is, in fact, an “emotional bitch.”

    Two years ago, he was in a relationship that wasn’t committed and about to express deeper feelings to the woman he was with, when she slept with her ex. “Even though she said it was trash and she didn’t want to go back to him, the damage had been done and I wasn’t able to get past it to really continue things,” explains Flowerless.

    ‘LAB (Life’s a Bitch)’ is the result of Flowerless turning this fucked up thing into something beautiful. Have a listen below…

    Song of the Day: Time Bomb – Yuki Dreams Again

    YUKI DREAMS AGAIN, the grandson of Philadelphia Jazz Icon Charles Biddle, spent the first years of his career producing and writing music for others. He therefore secured song placements with Carnage on his album ‘Battered Bruised & Bloody’ (Mac Miller, Migos & Lil Pump) proving his writing and producing ability among a roster of heavy hitters.

    Yuki’s music is defined by genre-fluid ethos powered by his charismatic vocals, singular sound textures, and storytelling that lean on the roads of self-discovery and the resilience of the human spirit and his single ‘Time Bomb’, fully embodies his signature sound.

    Yuki’s music was recently picked up by TV show Shameless (Showtime) and Good Trouble (Freeform) and Teen Mom (MTV). In the past year, the Montreal artist tackled many goals including modeling for iconic high fashion store Holt Renfrew and producing an album for Toronto artist Anna Sofia. Collaborators for his upcoming EP include mixing engineer Joe Visciano (Frank Ocean, Blood Orange, SZA), Art Director Guillaume Landry (Skyfall, Soran) and Photographer Austin Banks.

    Song of the Day: Inevitability-FYM – Troyman

    Hip hop artist TROYMAN brings some serious heat on today’s top spot with single ‘Inevitability-FYM,’ produced by Tay Keith.

    Born Troy Curry in San Francisco, California, Troyman was raised across the bay in Oakland, where he was introduced to the hip hop sounds of Tupac and other Bay Area heavy hitters. Relocating to the metro Atlanta area, his love of hip hop and witty rhyming skills landed him the opportunity of a lifetime to work with one of today’s most talented and sought-after hip-hop producers in the game, Tay Keith. In an industry where promises are often broken Tay Keith remained true to his word, witnessed by the world during the final episode of Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow” in which he promised to produce a “tape” on Troyman.

    While collaborating on the highly anticipated ‘Tay Keith’ project, Troyman released the critically acclaimed ‘Godspeed’ album which garnered two music placements with OTE (Overtime Elite) and most notably a placement on HBO Max’s series “Euphoria” Season 2 Soundtrack. Troyman also released a second project during this time period specifically for the ladies entitled, ‘Chocolates and Diamonds,’ which are both currently available for streaming on all platforms.

    Check out the official video for Troyman’s epic joint below…
