Cilla Raie Starts The Year On A Fiery Note With Single, ‘Motives’

Taking inspirations from the likes of Aaliyah, Mya, Brandy and Toni Braxton, UK R&B singer/songwriter CILLA RAIE leads 2021 with her brand new infectious single ‘Motives’ produced by Joey Dyer (Iggy Azalea, Katy B) and Sampl (Kali Claire).

Possessing the vibes of late 90’s/early 2000’s, the cutting- edge single promotes the message of self-love and self-worth to the ladies, when finding true love.

During the intense lockdown of 2020, Cilla is one of the many artists who stayed active with her release such as ‘Ain’t No One’ which secured her on This is R&B ‘10 R&B artist you should have on your Radar’ whilst securing over 19K Streams on Spotify

Keep a firm eye on Cilla as she gets ready to release her EP ‘Reconnected’ later in the year…but for now, have a listen to ‘Motives’…

Realma Shares Cinematic Debut Single ‘A Hint of Pink’ In Response To Trauma

Gazing through the emblematic lens of neo-symbolism, REALMA‘s debut single, ‘A Hint of Pink’ mystifies artists’ bittersweet bonds to their creation. Exploring one’s artistic process, the meta-song is a call for mesmerizing beauties still out-of-reach in premature artworks.

At its core, however, the single is motivated by the artist’s turbulent response to a Covid-19 police mishandling she experienced when arriving home from studies abroad. The chorus in particular alludes to wolf howls, representing the desire to summon creative conditions in place of a broken reality:

Realma says: “Something horrifying happened upon the initial lockdown, when my safety was put at risk by those that should’ve helped. My need to overcome this trauma gave charge to the single’s distinctive atmosphere, being rendered into a rustic melody that is both haunting and victorious.”

Realma’s debut also marks the beginning of her long-term audiovisual collaboration with an international group of talented young artists. The first result will be the animated music video by Mihajlo Dragaš, who has, among other awards, received the Golden Plaque of Belgrade and the Distinction Award at Athens ANIMFEST. After the music video release on 5th February, the interpretations of the music will extend into a dance video and a comic
booklet.

Look out Realm’s next release this spring, which will probe into obsessive relationships through the musical style of film-noir. For now, listen to ‘A Hint Of Pink’.

Listen To Joshua Luke Smith’s Powerful Single, ‘Mosaics’

JOSHUA LUKE SMITH delivers a hopeful mantra for 2021 in new single, ‘Mosaics’. 2020 was a difficult year for many but Joshua Luke Smith encourages us to embrace it all as part of the human experience; the good and the bad, as together they make a beautiful, bigger picture. As he explains:

“This is a song for those we’ve lost and for those who were left behind. I wrote it in the midst of grief, struggling to come to terms with life in the absence of someone who meant so much and filled up so much space. I’ve come to learn our lives are like mosaics, made up of many parts, all as meaningful as each other. Sometimes it’s not until we take a step back seeing the bigger picture, brought together with suffering and joy, loss and nearness, that we can truly see its beauty.”

The uplifting cut features the stunning, soulful tones of Bianca Rose which make the song all the more beautiful.

‘Mosaics’ is now available across all digital platforms and serves as a taster for his album, due for release this Spring. Check out the official music video for the single below…
