Almost two years out of the NEW LEASE MUSIC spotlight, WUNDA returns with his latest single, ‘Life Has Only Just Begun.’
For those who are not familiar with this South-African singer, he is known for spinning out atmospheric R&B bangers, drawing heavy influence from the spine tingling slow jams back in the 90s.
His 2015 offering, ‘We On!’ stole the top spot on South Africa’s Top 20 Emerging chart…so you’re definitely in good company here.
Hit that play button on ‘Life Has Only Just Begun.’
After accumulating over five million streams featuring on Soulection Jarreau Vandal’s ‘Someone That You Love’, OLIVIA NELSON dominates today’s hotspot with gospel-led, soulful track – ‘Smother Me’.
Premiered by DJ Target on BBC Radio 1Xtra as ‘UK unsigned’, the sensual track, which mixes the perfect blend of smooth vocals, passionate lyrics, and pumping bass lines shows the 21-year-old London singer/songwriter power as not only a skilled artist and songwriter, but a powerhouse vocalist whose range and control over carefully crafted production by Jarreau Vandal.
With a debut EP due out early summer, March will see the release of the next instalment from Olivia, as well as shows at London’s Hackney Oslo and Omera.
This is some powerful stuff…I highly recommend you check out ‘Smother Me’ before you sign out.
The acoustic version of ‘Half of Me’ is a brutally honest portrayal of how YASMEEN felt when she met her ex’s girlfriend for the first time – which happened one night in the studio.
While working on another song, she felt the need to do something more stripped back musically. Something more real and honest. She wanted to let out the raw emotions, of letting her ex go, and how meeting his new girlfriend forced those feelings onto paper. Her manager, heard the song, and said it was her best vocal performance. Have a listen…
