‘Get You Alone’ is the first single from CONRAD THE THIRD‘s forthcoming, debut project, ‘Calm Waters’.
Based on a real life experience, ‘Get You Alone’ – the first R&B song written by the Canadian singer/songwriter – is about wanting somebody to meet you halfway in a relationship, in order to grow – regardless of whether that meant growing together or apart.
Recorded in one take, ‘Get You Alone’ sets the tone for his upcoming project, which delves deeper into the trials and tribulations of the newcomer’s life and relationships.
Fresh off his two releases of the year (Give Me Loving & Better Things – featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC), HUDSON EAST makes a return into the blog’s hotspot with banger ‘No Way’. Produced by Hazard (Krept & Konan, Geko) This tropical track is going to be lighting up the clubs this summer – and will brighten up your day.
‘No Way’ is available for streaming on Spotify & Apple Music. Check out the video below on GRM Daily.
SIF (Daniel Kelly) and SKAE (Lane Dorsey) delivers a funky dose of 70-esque funk, fused with a salacious lick of laid-back R&B through a brand new collaborative track, ‘Do You Wanna’.
Their latest effort reflects those unsettling moments when you have a crush on someone, wondering if those feelings will be reciprocated.
The pair’s close-knit relationship goes way back to their early childhood. Growing up only one street apart, they quickly became friends and each went on to make their name in the world of arts – SIF starred on Degrassi: The Next Generation, while SKAE became a sought-after portrait photographer, capturing the likes of Johnny Reid and Ria Mae.
After reconnecting in the summer of 2016, the guys realised they had an intense passion for music and wasted no time in collaborating on a few tracks, blending SIF’s sharp hip-hop lyrics with SKAE’s genre-bending production.
The result is a series of songs full of movement and energy, with memorable hooks that would easily dominate the airwaves with slick lyrics as featured in their latest banger….check it out below…
Bringing smooth summer vibes and classic R&B flavours, CORES joins forces with Maz for latest joint ‘Depend On Me’.
Produced by Cores, ‘Depend On Me’ puts a 2018 spin on the Teedra Moses’ 2009 hit single ‘Be Your Girl’. Combining vibrant drum patterns with the mellow tones of Cores and Maz’ silky vocals on the hook, the lyrics detail the peaks and troughs of a relationship and wanting to ‘have your cake and eat it too’. This tongue-in-cheek track does have a deeper layer to it though, exploring the idea of fear in love and relationships.
Having spent the early 2000’s in the influential pirate radio crew ‘Haunted House Production’s’ the producer and emcee is verified in his authenticity. Flash back to Professor Green’s 2006 standout record ‘Upper Clapton Dance’, which featured the man himself, not only on production but laying down the final verse too. Although CORES honed in on his production craft, which awarded him with a string of ground-breaking records including Adamhood from the film Adulthood, Keep Moving by Paloma Faith, Bashy and Adam Deacon (from the 4, 3, 2, 1 movie soundtrack), and most notably as Executive Producer across all of Professor Green’s albums to date, his love and talent for emceeing has always remained burning bright.
After returning to the mic last year with two new tracks as an artist and showcasing his abilities across the board as rapper, producer and mixer, ‘Depend On Me’ showcases his maturity and talent alongside intricately woven beats, high-end sonics and sharp-tongued bars…check it out
