Tennessee- based pop singer-songwriter JEFFREY JAMES’ new single, ‘We Can Be Heroes,’ is about stepping up when times look dark.
“It’s about helping those in need and not waiting for someone else to step in as the hero,” Jeffrey says. “We all have it in ourselves to take responsibility for our future and look out for each other.”
Pairing rich vocals, R&B stylings and reflective lyricism, Jeffrey creates svelte, brooding tracks that provide deep introspection on the human experience. Since his first project, the 2016 Walls EP, Jeffrey has continued to explore his sound and challenge himself to discover exactly what kind of artist he wants to be. In 2020, Jeffrey released his sophomore EP, East London, a project that took him to London for a month in search of collaborators who could challenge him artistically and help hone a sound that resonates with listeners around the globe.
Jeffrey’s music has been used in ads for Xbox Game Pass and Ford and featured in numerous TV shows and films including All-American, Jack Ryan, iZombie, Criminal Minds, Good Trouble and Shameless, among others. He’s amassed millions of streams across his repertoire and tastemakers like Billboard, 1883 Magazine, and EARMILK have taken note. In addition to his own releases, Jeffrey has also become a coveted songwriter, penning tracks for artists like Megan Davies, Tungeaag & Raaban, and Matstubs.
Have a listen to the touching ‘We Can Be Heroes’, where Jeffrey originally teased the powerful pop ballad while appearing on NBC’s Songland last year.
Continuing his meteoric rise on the international music scene since the release of his dazzling debut EP ‘Oxygene’ last year and a string of show-stopping collaborations and singles, the exciting Nigerian Afro-fusion star OXLADE today releases his brand new single ‘Ojuju’.
Produced by Coublon (Kizz Daniel, Not3s, Sarkodie), ‘Ojuju’ is a song about being open to falling in love and features Oxlade’s addictive, one-of-a-kind mix of Afrobeat, R&B and Country influences with his distinctive, mesmerising vocals and captivating song-writing and storytelling skills to create another future hit.
Speaking on the new single ‘Ojuju’ Oxlade said: “’Ojuju’ is a story of a divine creature being afraid of falling in love, as it exposes a weak side of the being. But when someone is in love, they fear nothing. Being in love is a beautiful feeling. You just cannot get enough of that person, you cannot imagine a day without that person in your life and you just keep wanting more of that same person every single day!”
The new single is the follow-up to the smooth single ‘DKT’ and his debut ‘Oxygene’ EP which featured the hit lead single ‘Away’ which was named as one of Rolling Stone’s ’50 Biggest Songs of 2020’.

After the highly anticipated ‘My City’ record was teased at various live performances by 88YAMI and Yourboymars, the track is finally out for your inspection! ‘My City’ is a homage to the 6K, also known as Perth, where both artists come from and credit as the city where they started their music career.
88YAMI has been a widely known name in Perth’s hip-hop & rap music scene with previous releases ‘The Plan’, ‘Mrs Sippy Queen’, and ‘Movement’ crossing over 250k streams collectively while being featured on prominent Spotify editorial playlists.
‘My City’ is a perfect showcase of 88YAMI’s catchy melodic rap sound, where he shows off his smooth delivery over a blend of soft guitar string melodies and an aggressive 808 kick, produced by Roki Beats.
