Song of the Day: Angel – Ashleigh Bankx

London-based artist ASHLEIGH BANKX is the latest singer to emerge from the UK’s resurgent soul/R&B scene, and she’s making a huge statement with debut single ‘Angel’, an impassioned love song that arrives with accompanying Lutch Media-directed visuals to set the mood.

Inspired by the likes of Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone and Rihanna, as well as music from her Zimbabwean roots, Ashleigh brings a much-revered throwback neo-soul sound of yesteryear, with a unique, modern twist. ‘Angel’ begins with an empowering voiceover sample from Nina Simone that leads perfectly into the rest of the song. Ashleigh says: “‘Angel’ is about self-liberation, understanding and valuing yourself through past experiences with relationships and society. The song is about black love and centres around the concept of self-love, self-confidence, self-pride and the unity of and journey between two lovers. I want the listener to determine what mood and emotion they feel when they listen to the song.”

‘Angel’ set the tone for her work-in-progress EP…be sure to look out for that…but for now check out the official music video for the single below…

Listen To Isaac B’s Track ‘Lean’ (Temple Remix)

Rapper ISAAC B bounces in 2021 with remixes from his 2020 debut EP, ‘Chances Ocean’.

First to get the remix treatment is, ‘Lean’, which describes the buoyant feeling of unapologetically enjoying the new-found respect from others. Originally an minimalist alt-hip-hop piece, ‘Lean’ receives a slick R&B-esque/hip-hop makeover from London’s lo-fi, hip-hop and house music producer Temple, who has worked with the likes of UK rap legend Tommy Evans.

The remix was brought to life after the unlikely pair met through a beat battle via And What? LDN. After multiple encounters, Isaac B & Temple drop this upbeat take on Lean and prepare to release an EP together later this year.

Check out the remixed version of ‘Lean’ below:
