Song of the Day: Jungle – Makk Mikkael

The gripping downtempo drive with contrasting heavenly overtones has given MAKK MIKKAEL‘s sultry piece ‘Jungle’ a well-deserved place on NEW LEASE MUSIC’s Song of the Day hotspot.

The song is about sticking with someone who is impossible in hope of a happy ending – only to find out there’s no ending. The accompanied video sees the Canadian singer wearing the colour yellow in which she associates with being bright with hidden depths.

It’s time to check out the video to ‘Jungle.’

Song of the Day: Someone Like You – Marcello Spooks (ft. LOLÈ)

Only a few months after his last single ‘Replace U’, MARCELLO SPOOKS is back with more ear candy in the form of ‘Someone Like You’.

From the get-go, the smooth electric piano combined with lush vocals from LOLÈ immediately sets mood right before the 808’s drop and Marcello reflects on past midsummer nights with an old flame.

Earlier this year, the East London MC teamed up with producer Maschine Man Tim to deliver the EP ‘All Time High’, riding the wave of success created by his 2016 single ‘Boom’ which has racked up an impressive amount of views and enjoyed support from the likes of BBC 1xtra, Pyro Radio and Fubar Radio, UKHH and Blurred Culture.

The video, directed by Jay Sentrosi and Eric Myers, is a work of art in itself, and sees Marcello Spooks reminiscing by The Thames riverside, as he flips through the pages of his book of rhymes. These calming visuals are juxtaposed with a more sinister scene which references the poisoned apple from Snow White.

Well here’s your chance to watch the video for ‘Someone Like You.’

 

New Music Video: Falling – Turya

Singer, songwriter and composer artist T U R Y A reveals her brand new music video ‘Falling’, the second single from her forthcoming debut album ‘Ocean’ released via Kobalt Music. Directed by Alexander Boethius and filmed in Siberia, the video embodies T U R Y A’ s now distinct, signature style.

Drawing inspiration from T U R Y A’ s worldly experiences, the video paints a deeply personal portrait of the artist’s current journey and feelings. ‘Falling’ shows a more honest, darker side compared to the ethereal, bittersweet debut single ‘Rain’. The video is a powerful vehicle that takes the viewer into a shamanic world of nature, harmony and freedom, far away from the conflicts of the modern world. Her distinctive vocals float bewitchingly over the emotive soundscape and visuals, resonating with depth and meaning.

Tonight, Londoner TURYA will be performing ‘Falling’ and other tracks from her forthcoming album ‘Ocean’ live for the first time at The Slaughtered Lamb, London. After the cult success of her debut single ‘Rain’ which came out earlier this year, T U R Y A has undergone a total artistic evolution, introducing raw, poignant and personal explorations with her debut album, transitioning into the artist she has always wanted to be.

‘Falling’ is now available on Spotify…but first watch the video to the stunning single.

 

 

 

New Track: Bioluminescence – ZT

Zachary Taylor – or ZT– always had a fascination with underground hip-hop – but it was J. Cole’s’ mixtape, ‘Friday Night Lights’ that ignited this upriser from Fairfax (Virginia) to start rapping and penning lyrics on school notebooks.

Now he’s making himself known and drops his brand new conscious track entitled ‘Bioluminescence’. Oozing the smoothest soundscapes you’ll probably ever heard, the latest offering act as a wake call to those who are completely blinded to what’s going on around them.

Also know as the Kale Gawd – because of his love for vegetables – ZT went on to become a frontman/lyricist for a rap-rock band called Where’s Zach? before going solo. Taking his rap journey to a new chapter, ZT is working on his EP called ‘Everything but the Kitchen Sinks’.

If you don’t know this guy, get to know him…check out ‘Bioluminescence.’
