Brandon Rivers Returns With ‘Delete My Number’

Following his appearance on the blog with track ‘Girlplay’ last June, R&B smooth bad boy BRANDON RIVERS is back with his latest single ‘Delete My Number’.

Speaking of the release, the 23-year-old singer/songwriter says: “Delete My Number was written about the notion of ‘ghosting’ and the role it seems to play in attempting to form relationships within my generation. Like all my music, it was written from an autobiographical perspective. I think it’s now a normality that if someone is removed from your life completely from any social platforms, they are no longer a part of your life at all, how I used this track to translate this idea is through its imagery, using race, jealousy and fairly obscure references to William Blake, Byron, Richey Edwards and even Usain Bolt to convey the concept that it’s easier to get over someone by removing them completely from your life, as sad as that may be.”

Brandon has already been heralded by BBC Introducing as “One To watch” with his blend of ‘after-dark pop’ which have seen him grace the stages of Bestival and Victorious Festivals, building a loyal fanbase by performing at venues across the UK.

As a multi-instrumentalist, Brandon thrives on being different. Being alternative was something instilled at birth for Rivers, being a mixed-race kid from the New Forest on the South Coast of England. Growing up on 90’s R&B and House mixtapes along with early 00’s Indie, Brandon began making music from a young age. His unique mix of Trap, Pop and Alternative R&B has drawn comparisons to artists such as Drake and Ariana Grande.

This promising hot property has a packed schedule for 2020, with ‘Delete My Number’ the first of many releases, with a number of festival slots of be announced shortly.

Brighton-based SUNNY ACHILLE signs out 2019 with the release of single ‘Obsession’

Produced by Kai-A, ‘Obsession’ is about habit and addiction. Sunny explains: “It’s something we can all relate to in some form. We can often break a promise to ourselves and find ourselves escaping in a toxic way. Down the rabbit hole we go with our Obsession!”

Sunny grew up on his mother’s music collection ranging from Jazzmatazz, Lighthouse Family & Seal – to Coolio and The Streets – which led to have a diverse musical palette of his own. Blending trap with dubstep like synths, Achille combines his hard-hitting lyricism with left-field hip-hop elements throughout ‘Obsession’.

Fizzler Comes Through With New Track, ‘G.U.Y’

Currently bodying the drill scene, the last three months have been a major breakthrough for FIZZLER. With a slew of freestyles, collaborations with some of the hardest hitters out, plus remixes and solo drops, the young driller has been seen and heard in all the right places and with all the right people, earning himself a profile which has resulted in his followers, views and streams consistently snowball skywards.

Teaming up with Just Jam Recordings, Fizzler releases ‘Wet it SZN’, his debut EP. With it comes the video for G.U.Y, one of the top draws from the 6-track collection which offers up a bouncy flow and sees him working the Ghosty beat to perfection – given his wins of late it’s not difficult to see why he’s confidently appointed himself as the G.U.Y in the lyrics either.

If this is your first encounter of Fizzler, G.U.Y is the ideal introduction. Having defined his own musical lane, Fizzler is leading the way as a game changer in Drill. Perfectly capturing the gritty, dark and menacing vibes of the genre his wordplay and delivery tends to take a step towards more melodic, poetic and progressive lyricism, which has been key to his success to date and is perfectly displayed on his latest drop – not only impressing the drill fans but also drawing in a crowd from the rap world too. With an icy, sharply edited visual to accompany the release, the cool blue tones, snappy edits and glitching effects highlight Fizzler as quite the performer in front of the camera and add to a consistently impressive reel of visuals.
