In the span of less than two years, songstress/poet Meghan Tartamella and twin brothers Michael and Joseph Pepe -aka – SLEEPLUST – has become one of Los Angeles’s most exciting and sought after indie electronic pop outfits.
The trio released their debut self-titled EP in November to critical acclaim and commercial success. Recorded in their hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, the five track release is an homage to the band’s roots, hometown and the major transition periods in life we can all relate to. “The EP really speaks to those shifts in emotions, priorities and relationships. It’s about coming more into ourselves and feeling safe in who/where that is.” Tartamella says wistfully.
Their latest single My Place is the first song written and recorded in the band’s new home of Los Angeles. The three-and-a-half minute production displays the band’s unique trademark, which combines brooding electronics, wandering synths and heavy bass, all brought together by Tartamella’s sultry yet focused melodies.
This Spring, SLEEPLUST’s music will be featured on major cable networks such as MTV, VH1, E! and Oxygen. The band is also busy headlining select West Coast tour dates and playing festivals this summer.
Now that the Valentines weekend is out the way, it’s the perfect time to introduce FLY VON‘s first alternative R&B masterpiece of the year, She Hates Love, featuring Alexy Large. Download your copy for absolutely FREE via SoundCloud.
Manchester singer/songwriter TAYA SOPHIE is back with her brand new offering titled, Leaving, taken from her EP, Know My Name.
Ready to carry on the momentum that was generated from her last track F**ked Up, this almost three-and-a-half-minute track displays her wide range of singing abilities whether it is hitting high notes or singing smooth melodies.
You’re forgiven if you think Leaving is a song about a girl liberating herself from a deadbeat boyfriend – in fact, it gives a personal insight into a father and daughter relationship. The song was written to illustrate how close a father and daughter can be, especially at an early stage. The song talks about a daughter leaving her father in order to move in with her boyfriend. The essence of the song displays the highs and lows of this type of relationship.
A video to the single, shot in the songstress’ hometown last year, will be coming out very soon. Once you watch
the video, hopefully everything will make sense!
Currently working on new material, this is the first instalment that is from her new body of work that will only wet
the appetite from wanting to hear more from this promising young scarlet.
Leaving is now available on iTunes.
As a preview to his debut album, KANE releases his silky smooth offering, Don’t Be Shy.
Oozing with soul and the makings of a sweet R&B slow jam, the British R&B singer showcases weak-at-the-knees vocal over a beat laden with classic guitar riffs and snares, with a more contemporary deep bass backline shining through that perfectly holds each aspect of the track together.
With an equally impressive video in the pipeline, KANE makes his mark with depth and quality to his work. The video, shot in his hometown of Tottenham in London, gives a sincere perspective of the singer and the song itself as the luscious, sweet vocal collides with the raw, inner-city visual surroundings. The result is that of authenticity and somehow gives a new edge to the record that you might have missed on listening.
He may only be in the early stages of his career but this upcomer already has quite a story that has propelled him to his current place in music. At the age of 17, he released his debut E.P Dreams, which resulted in him working with acclaimed songwriter Sam Hook (Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Mary J Blige) and releasing Turn It Up featuring Sneakbo. He then went on to perform at DJ Cameo’s Summer Love festival in Cyprus alongside Tinie Tempah before returning to the UK and performing with the likes of J Spades and U.S songstress, Ashanti, at the IndigO2.
Set to have a big impact on the music scene over the coming years, this cute face lays down some strong foundations for what is to come – have a listen to Don’t Be Shy.
