New Track: Falling – Turya

After the cult success of her debut single ‘Rain’, singer, songwriter and composer, Nicki Wells – aka – T U R Y A  returns with a brand new single ‘Falling’ released last Friday. This is the second release taken from her forthcoming debut album ‘Ocean’.

‘Falling’ reveals a more honest, darker side compared to the ethereal, bittersweet debut. Steeped in melodic and lyrical poignancy, ‘Falling’ is a musical response to political events in the modern world and a powerful vehicle to express T U R Y A’s feelings.

T U R Y A performs the songs from her debut album ‘Ocean’ for the first time on 29th October, 7.30pm at the Slaughtered Lamb, London. This will be T U R Y A’s debut live performance, seeing a much awaited return to her London roots.

If you’re in the London area, go and show some love! But for now, listen to ‘Falling’.

Song of the Day: This High – The Man Who

Consisting of two cousins, THE MAN WHO made it today’s Song of the Day spot with single, ‘This High’.

Their electro bass-driven offering is about experiencing an intense high (whether it’s from drugs, infatuation or a plain old natural adrenaline) which it can be consuming to the point where nothing else matters.

The Toronto duo began writing together in a basement driven by a desire to challenge the boundaries between rock and pop. Their music reflects this experimental approach in its sound and tells the stories they’ve collected along the way…well this is the perfect time to listen to their story…have a listen to ‘This High.’

EP Review: Broken Record – Allana Verde

Since the release of her 2016 EP, ‘Neo Nostalgia’, ALLANA VERDE has been on a steady rise, gaining support from the likes of Trevor Nelson, DJ Target, Complex and i-D. Continuing the climb, the London R&B singer unveiled her brand new EP entitled ‘Broken Records’ earlier this month.

An afterhours R&B (say, from the 90s era) receives a futuristic makeover from the bold and vibrant presence of electropop overtones. Together with Verde’s quirky yet somewhat sultry vocals, this mini collection brings on a real enticing and spine-tingling experience.

Over the years, I’ve seen many artists break out in a cold, nervous sweat when it comes to combining unlikely genres – but this newcomer burst onto the scene and pulled it off effortlessly with such Sade-esque style and grace. This one too good to pass up; have a listen.

Must Listen: Broken Records, I Know Better Now.

New Track: Stuck In My Feelings – Andreas Moss

Swedish-born, Nashville-based nu-R&B, singer-songwriter ANDREAS MOSS  unveiled his new single, ‘Stuck in My Feelings’, last Friday via Curb/Warner.

Following highly praised singles, ‘Thinking About You’ and ‘Stop Me’, actively gaining upwards of 2.8 million Spotify streams following their debut on Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ playlist, the new cut – Written and co-produced by Moss himself with fellow collaborators Sam Tinnesz and Joe Williams – has been mixed by Grammy Award-winner Serban Ghenea, also responsible for the mixes of The Weeknd ‘Starboy’ and Ariana Grande ‘Dangerous Woman’.

ANDREAS MOSS‘ powerhouse vocals draw comparison to fellow songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man, while his music is influenced by the same blend of nu-R&B and neon-bright arrangements that made ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ and ‘Starboy’ so successful.

Growing up in a musical household, Moss followed in his parents’ steps and became a travelling musician. By age nine, Moss was on tour, singing gospel and playing the piano. Before he reached his teens, he was already part of a multi-disciplinary artists’ collective, where he switched between mediums; from ghost-writing to directing music videos and short films. It’s no wonder Curb Records appointed him to lead their newly created pop division, where the gifted songwriter has control over co-writing and vocal producing of the label’s new pop signings.

Following his performance at this year’s SXSW and The Great Escape festival, ‘Stuck In My Feelings’ is tipped to be ANDREAS MOSS’ most enticing offering yet which may well cement his status in the international music scene.

Have a listen…
