New Track: Coldest Season – View

View coldest season

Finland’s hottest hip-hop export VIEW makes an icy return with his new single, Coldest Season, released last Friday via VILD Recordings.

With its icy-entrancing beats and introspective wordplay, Coldest Season is a darker offering compared to the previous single, Lace feat electro duo LCMD, which was supported by The 405 and The Line Of Best Fit. The single is taken from View’s upcoming debut album which will be released later in the year.

Following the success of his debut EP Avalon, Helsinki based View – real name Juuso Ruohonen – has already made a name for himself in his homeland with his own brand of darkly hypnotic beats and introspective lyrics. Favouring minimalism and low-toned sounds, the 23-year-old focuses on personal issues such as depression and identity, giving his music a rare and poignant honesty.

The Coldest Season is now available via iTunes…but for now, check out the black and white visual to the single.

Elle Deva

If you’re longing for a smooth end to a trying week, duo ELLE DEVA‘s new acoustic/soulful single, Take It All will,  do just that and no doubt will become instant favourite.

Forming eight years ago, when Italian guitarist Michele met singer/songwriter Lauren, the two have been working together ever since, taking inspiration from their diverse musical backgrounds and their strong Christian beliefs. Having lived in Italy for a while, they decided to record some of their work in London to collaborate with producers and session musicians that would help them reach a new market with their catchy acoustic songs.

The duo released their debut EP Rain Roses back in October 2014 and since then have gone on to build their reputation and their profile within the music industry having had press coverage in Italian newspapers as well as gaining radio exposure.

Take It All is out now from upcoming EP Familiar Ground, set for release on 11th March 2016…look out for that! For now, watch the captivating video to the single.

EP Review: When It Rains – Kyle Lettman

Kyle Lettman When it Rains EP

Following the explosive, multi-genre EP Under Construction, KYLE LETTMAN takes it back a couple of tempos (and back to the 90s) with his latest offerings, When It Rains, released earlier this month.

The sweetest old school R&B slow jams take centre stage in the six-track production, where the London-based songster gives the between-the-sheets treatment to Adele’s hit, Hello.

LADIES (or guys!): if you go weak at the knees as soon as you hear a ballad, well  it’s definitely worth investing your time in this little treasure.

Must Listens: Hello, Love language, When It Rains.
