Song of the Day: H.O.M.E. (Here On My Everything) – Chef Porter

CHEF PORTER is the musical moniker of seasoned celebrity chef and musician, Ed Porter. In the culinary world he is known as a veteran Executive Chef with experience in some of the most influential kitchens in New York City. He has competed on and won Guy’s Groceries Games, and he had a starring role in Netflix’s hit reality culinary competition show, Pressure Cooker.

Earlier this year, Chef Porter dropped his debut single ‘Pressure Cooker’, inspired by his time on the show. That track introduced a skilled emcee and singer with a taste for old-school beats and organic R&B vibes. The multifaceted artist continues the evolution of his sound with his sophomore single.

He follows up with ‘H.O.M.E. (Here On My Everything)’. The track opens on a jazz guitar intro before the beat drops on a chill 90’s groove. Chef Porter and J Isaac trade verses, rapping and singing a sweet hip-hop slow jam about the true meaning of home, love, and personal growth.

Alt songbird Seyblu shares her pulsating new single, ‘Honest’.

SEYBLU‘s latest offering, ‘Honest’ was initially directed at someone that couldn’t be honest with themselves, even while alone in their thoughts… but as she progresses in writing the single, Seyblu realised that it was a message to herself.

‘Honest’ features Seyblu’s cousin, Eve Parker Finley, who adds the emotive violin strings to the soulful backdrop and the brooding electronic bass, which perfectly adds that level of visceral tension that’s needed to drive the message of the song.

‘Honest’ was released last Friday (23rd June) across various music platforms…why not check it out below…

Song of the Day: I Don’t Feel Like I Used To – Louise Burns

Continuing her pursuit of warm and invigorating aesthetics that see her harness the textured allure of icons like Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, LOUISE BURNS‘ single, ‘I Don’t Feel Like I Used To’ marks another fresh and vibrant step forward for the artist at the helm. As the opening cut for her forthcoming full-length, her latest endeavour sees her channel a warm and tranquil vibe, perfectly elevated by her own captivating vocal performance throughout.

Speaking of the single, she said, “This is the first song I wrote for what became the album. I felt torn between writing something more gothic country like my older catalogue, or trip hop and sample based like the music I was listening to. Naturally it turned into both, which is a testament to the song’s story: an homage to my new found not really worrying about what people think my music, or me, might be, and focusing on what I like and what inspires me. Not feeling “it” like I used to is referring to the full body forward momentum I was feeling of getting over something that wasn’t good for me. Leaving behind your past, both physically and mentally, can be a glorious thing.”

Burns’ fifth full-length album ‘Element’ was primarily co-produced between Burns and Jason Corbett (ACTORS) at his Jacknife Studios in Vancouver, and also features collaborations with Colin Janz (Teset) and vocologist Carol-Lynne Quinn. The nine-strong track album was pieced together over a two-and-a-half-year span between Burns’ home and Mexico.

Of the album as a whole, Burns notes, “Element is a pop album for introverts. A soundtrack to accompany a trip into one’s inner world when the outside one isn’t cutting it.”

Louise Burns’ new single ‘I Don’t Feel Like I Used To’ is out now, followed by the release of her album ‘Element’ scheduled for Spring 2023… For now, why not check out the official video for the single below…

Song of the Day: Uncool – Loren Aronov

As a singer-songwriter growing up in Toronto, LOREN ARONOV had big dreams of becoming a pop star. She wrote and performed songs that portrayed a certain persona, more to please others than herself. Having just turned 14, she has decided to stop trying to live up to outside expectations and to instead be real with herself.

What she can promise listeners is genuine honesty from the heart and mind of a young girl living out her teenage years. ‘Uncool’ is exactly that, inspired by feeling like the odd one out among her peers at school; lonely and even unwanted. She soon accepted that some of these labels make her unique, and that personal obstacles could be used to propel her music. Check out ‘Uncool’ below…
