New Track! Trickle Trickle – Kill J

Trickle Trickle Kill J

Following the overwhelming success of  You’re Good But I’m Better, which topped the Hype Machine chart at no.1, Danish experimental alt-pop sensation KIll J hopes to bring the same success with her new single, Trickle Trickle.

Drawing on the soundscapes of previous efforts, Propaganda and You’re Good But I’m Better, the three-and-a-half minute production takes on a more fragile and vulnerable feel. Though a more emotionally expressive piece that sees KILL J reveal a tender side to her distinctive charisma, the track’s punchy bass and expertly layered echoing vocals are still unmistakable.

Named ‘Band of the Week’ by The Guardian newspaper, KIll J has already gained a legion of fans, whilst receiving airplay from the likes of Huw Stephens and Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Mamiko Motto on NTS Radio and even a spin on Beats1. Armed with her latest release, she only looks set to further her position as one of Denmark’s most exciting exports: a reputation that will be cemented when she plays SXSW this year.

Trickle Trickle will form part of her debut EP, Quasi, set for release in March 2015.

Upcoming Release: Ready & Waiting – Becca B (ft. MceBisi)

Becca

It going to take more than a missed opportunity from a major record label (due to the discouragement of a mentor) to deter  BECCA B from the music business. Instead the R&B/urban pop princess dust herself off and kick-start a promising career with her smooth forthcoming release, Ready and Waiting featuring rapper MceBisi.

The sophisticated R&B number, underpinned by a flawless production and additional rap interlude, is tipped to be her biggest hit to date. She says: “This song is also about new steps. It is about the flirtatious engagements between two new people wanting something more from each other.”

Having honed and experimented with her skills over the years, by supporting acts such as Gareth Gates at Party In The Park and Stacey Solomon at The Ashfield Show, the exuberant singer from Nottinghamshire, who draws inspiration from artists such as Pink, Jason Derulo and Rihanna, is now ready to embark on a rosy future in the music industry with a repertoire of suave and laid-back pop beats.

Ready and Waiting is out on 12th February 2016.

New Track! Ice Cream – Solo Kings (ft. Black$ Money)

solo king

It’s been awhile since SOHO KINGS showed their face on this blog – that’s because the hip-hop/pop duo from Brooklyn had a busy year. Since the release of their mixtape, The Climb in January, the pair had back-to-back shows in NYC and across the east coast.

Now, late in the 4th quarter of 2015, they are set to release Out My Mind EP, a  short but transcendent expose into their extensive range. The first single, Ice Cream (featuring Black$ Money), is a trap/pop club banger with hard-hitting sonics the group is known for.

Ice Cream is available as a free download via SoundCloud.

New Music Video: Godlike – Puzzle

Brazilian born, London-based collaborative artist PUZZLE has recently released a video to the debut single Godlike, released last week.

With a strong interest in gaming, fantasy and digital art, PUZZLE wanted to create a striking concept for the video that captures the emotional heart of the song in abstract form. Approaching creative studio Territory, their response references geometric shapes, bold colours and surreal environments in a low poly head concept that creates a layer of mystery and fantasy by showing PUZZLE in 3D form.

Godlike is available on all major music outlets.
