The Grammy-nominated viral R&B/Soul sensations, THE HAMILTONES have well and truly set the holiday spirit on NEW LEASE MUSIC with the official music video for their rendition of ‘Silent Night’, debuted on Monday (7th December) on the trio’s YouTube channel. Their performance of the holiday favorite is from their 2017’s ‘A Hamiltones Christmas EP’. The song will also be included in a deluxe version of the project, along with four new holiday songs, which is set to release this Friday (12th December).
London-based singer/songwriter/composer ANA SHINE rounds up the year with new heartfelt single, ‘Goodbye’.
Piano-led ‘Goodbye’ documents a tearful farewell to a close one, where Russian-born Ana delivers a well poise emotive performance, working in perfect unison with the woeful violins.
‘Goodbye’ follows Ana’s sensual pop single, ‘Lights Outs’, which received firm support from radio stations across the UK including North Manchester FM, Radio Ashford, Nova Radio, Assess North West, Nevis Radio, Vibe 1076FM and The Island Radio in the Isle of Wright. ‘Lights Out’ also earned Ana over 69,000 streams since its release back in August.
2020 sees the former model for Gucci, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana firmly secure her place on the on-to-watch radar with smooth urban/pop single ‘Cover Me’ which generated over one million views on YouTube and almost 54,000 streams on Spotify since its release back in March.
‘Goodbye’ is certainly not the end of Ana Shine as the single showcases her as a creditable, multifaceted artist.
Following his appearance on the blog with his latest single, ‘Pressure’ BENNY BIZZIE circles back with the official video for the hard-hitting trap/R&B joint.
‘Pressure’ depicts a grounded relationship coming under serious strain during the pandemic – check it out below.
Stacey Bournes, otherwise known as I AM BORN, has unveiled stunning visuals for track, ‘Like The Pain’. Co-director Natalia Nunn, I AM BORN and Blake Cyrier who was the main DP for the project, wanted to depict a tale of victory and a journey to peace; finding a place of self-love, balance and a healthy self-expression.
With so many of us struggling with mental health at this time, they wanted to bring hope by illustrating the fact that it’s possible to reverse any downward spiral we may find ourselves in and re-imagine life in any way we choose, as long as we don’t give up.
Shot in LA, the video features a selection of talented artists that I AM BORN greatly admires and has been incredibly inspired by. Danielle Acoff (who was featured in Michael Jackson’s last music video for,’ A Place With No Name’), Darren Tait and Natalya Oliver were dancers in the film, with Roy Sadakane and Justin Possenti providing cinematic contributions.
‘Like The Pain’ was written by I AM BORN over ten years ago as a means of catharsis and is part of a collection of work she affectionately calls ‘The Identity of Stacey Bournes’, which consists of hundreds of songs that helped her cope with the highs and lows she experienced whilst living what she thought would be her dream life as a model.
Originally an indie/experimental offering, ‘Like The Pain’ was given a makeover by producer Obsidian Cane, who injected a gutsy UKG drive with soulful R&B undertones. I AM BORN thoroughly enjoyed working on the track as she danced so much during the process. The single was featured on Obsidian Cane’s debut EP titled Reset, released on his label, Wicked Ghost Music back in August.
I AM BORN is also currently working with producers, musicians and DJ’s in different genres on a number of projects taken from the ‘IDofSB’ slated for release in the New year.
‘Like The Pain’ is now available on all download and streaming sites. Check out the official video for the single below…
