Song of the Day: Venus – EarlGrey (ft. See Francis)

earlgrey-venus

After releasing the critically acclaimed ‘Pulldown’ and ‘Overdue’ in 2016, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist EARLGREY enters 2017 with a bang, in the form of his brand new See Francis assisted single ‘Venus’.

Along with both previous releases, ‘Venus’ was self-produced, written and performed by the man himself and his creative collective TheVAMP, the track features Earl’s soulful vocal prowess, along with his attention to detail with the intricate production. Joining forces with New Jersey native See Francis, to add a guest verse to the track, the pair showcase exactly why they are two of the most promising new artists the music world has to offer.

As a member of creative collective, TheVAMP, EARLGREY has recent months collaborating with an array of talent, from industry veterans such as Ne-Yo to budding superstar MAAD. Fast forward to 2016, EARLGREY is setting his sights firmly on the spotlight and is on a sole mission to open hearts and inspire through music and storytelling.

Currently gearing up for a debut EP release due out in later this year, EARLGREY is well and truly making his mark on the scene, and cementing his status as a frontrunner of the new generation of cutting-edge neo soul artists. Like the tea, you can expect lush blends of silky and soothing R&B vocals on top of some dark and herbaceous hip-hop beats, accentuated by notes of rich and floral acoustics.

Check out his latest track, ‘Venus’.

Album Review: Fiero – Population 7

population-7-fiero-album-cover

Hailing all the way from the West Midlands, nine piece hip-hop/neo-soul act POPULATION 7 have dropped their brand new album entitled ‘Fiero’, earlier this week.

A real sultry soulful/jazz fusion takes centre stage and swagger throughout the nine-track production, with smooth Erykah Badu-esque vocals and the occasional, laid-back freestyling giving the slick combo that extra kick.

I’ve found a real treasure here – so don’t disappoint me now and CHECK IT OUT!!!

Must Listens: Blindspot, Slugums, Wi – Fi, Fiero, Paz6 & FoxP2.

 

 

 

 

 

Song of the Day: This Is Who I Am – Lateefah

If you’re looking to chill out this weekend, this sweet tune will set you right! Check today’s song, This Is Who I Am by neo-soul singer/songwriter LATEEFAH. The track was released 14th July.

Singing from the age of three has definitely paid off for the smooth gospel powerhouse…she received praise for her debut reggae single, Here I Am which stole the top spot for three weeks on the Reverbnation Christian chart for St. Lucia and, for a period of one week, was number one on all genres chart. Her single Love Me Through shortly followed and received heavy praised (and rotation) on Premier Radio. 

No doubt her latest offerings will fuel the success as you get easily drawn into  the Londoner’s silky-smooth vocals – so take time out and have a listen for yourself!

Song of the Day: Rachel Marie – High (ft. John Lass)

Rachel Marie

A great start to the week: today’s song is High by singer/songwriter RACHEL MARIE.

Singing/song-writing and performing are lifelong ambitions for the 22 year old from Washington DC . Known as “LM” or “Lilmaria”, RACHEL MARIE started out singing with her family at church and performed in art grade schools.

In 2012, the Jacksonville music and business graduate released a sensual R&B/neo soul number  Wanna Feel It (ft. MAXXX FLAIR). So there you have it – have a listen to High. This track definitely deserves a place on the song of the day hot spot, as it features that old school R&B/neo soul groove with Rachel’s effortlessly gliding vocals.

If this track puts you on a high, then check out her other effort, Wanna Feel It on Bandcamp.
