Song of the Day: Pretty Boy – Grace Sorensen

Hailing from Texas 19-year-old R&B artist GRACE SORENSEN comes through onto today’s top spot with an incredibly strong offering titled, ‘PRETTY BOY’. Immediately infectious after the first listen, the single oozes a soothing downtempo production by BLK ODYSSY, perfectly coupled with Grace’s silky smooth vocals, infectious melodies and striking lyricism.

Speaking on the release, Grace says, “‘PRETTY BOY’ was written out of disappointment of my taste in men and giving too many chances to the same type of boys and expecting different treatment.”

Grace only made her arrival on the music scene in 2020 but it’s been an upward trajectory ever since with a string of high-quality R&B releases that have made it clear that she is a star with a huge future ahead. Lifted from the rising artist’s debut EP, WHAT I NEVER TOLD YOU, which is out now, ‘PRETTY BOY’ is another stellar entry into her growing discography and arrives alongside equally impressive visuals directed by Daniel Castillo.

Song of the Day: Time Bomb – Yuki Dreams Again

YUKI DREAMS AGAIN, the grandson of Philadelphia Jazz Icon Charles Biddle, spent the first years of his career producing and writing music for others. He therefore secured song placements with Carnage on his album ‘Battered Bruised & Bloody’ (Mac Miller, Migos & Lil Pump) proving his writing and producing ability among a roster of heavy hitters.

Yuki’s music is defined by genre-fluid ethos powered by his charismatic vocals, singular sound textures, and storytelling that lean on the roads of self-discovery and the resilience of the human spirit and his single ‘Time Bomb’, fully embodies his signature sound.

Yuki’s music was recently picked up by TV show Shameless (Showtime) and Good Trouble (Freeform) and Teen Mom (MTV). In the past year, the Montreal artist tackled many goals including modeling for iconic high fashion store Holt Renfrew and producing an album for Toronto artist Anna Sofia. Collaborators for his upcoming EP include mixing engineer Joe Visciano (Frank Ocean, Blood Orange, SZA), Art Director Guillaume Landry (Skyfall, Soran) and Photographer Austin Banks.

Mychelle Join Forces With Enny For New Single, ‘Forbidden Fruit’

Hackney-born singer, songwriter and guitarist MYCHELLE has unveiled her new track ‘Forbidden Fruit’ featuring ENNY. The latest single from her upcoming EP ‘Someone Who Knows’ which is set for release on 20th May.

Markedly more buoyant and rhythmic than Mychelle’s previous releases, ‘Forbidden Fruit’ is a rootsy yet bass-driven track. Sonically recalling the work of neo-soul songstresses India Arie, Tweet and Vivian Green, the track emits the ambience and mood of a peaceful summer afternoon.

Lyrically, the song details the moral dilemmas that arise when one falls for someone they know isn’t good for them and the complicated feelings that consequently rise to the surface.

Lending guest vocals to the track is fellow FAMM label-mate ENNY who adorns the song with a majestic rap verse. The newest addition in ENNY’s recent string of features, following her freshly-released collaborations with Shae Universe, Odeal and Boj. The resulting collaboration is a perfect marriage of Mychelle’s acoustic soul sensibilities and ENNY’s supreme rap stylings.

Directed by Portia Barnett-Herrin, the video follows Mychelle as she’s strolling through a park late at night where she is curiously enticed by a strange light that leads her to an alternative universe.

Soon she’s face to face with a version of herself she doesn’t recognise, engaging in a high-stake game of chess before completely disappearing. The video’s narrative is further complemented by visually rich collage sequences placing an emphasis on the sensory draw of fruits and flowers.

The new single comes after the release of her previous single, ‘Younger Self’ – the lead single of her forthcoming sophomore EP ‘Someone Who Knows’, which will coincide with her first ever headline show at The Lexington on 31st May.
