Before the release of her anticipated new single, TEENEAR gives her version of Rihanna’s Love on the Brain, showcasing her vocal range – and her god-given gift to dance!

Born and raised in Miami, music found 19-year-old Teenear at the tender age of three. She gained her determined and positive spirit from a supportive family and from a musical influence that she emulates; Michael Jackson.

At a young age, she has showcased her skills in pageants, talent shows and church. A prolific moment for the teenager was a talent show where she performed Rihanna’s Stay and captivated her audience. “Being on that stage and singing gave me such a push and drive and I loved it so much” says Teenear

“I remember when I went backstage after the performance and people came up to me telling me they enjoyed the performance and asking for my picture. It was a great moment and it gave me so much confidence to push further.”

So be prepared to be blown away –  hit that play button and witness a star on the rise.

New Music Video: No Lele – Ezi Emela

Ezi Emele video clip

Manchester born EZI EMELA has a diverse network of influence. Born to Nigerian parents, the British songstress has kept a tight grasp on her African heritage and takes the shining elements of UK culture to create her brand new single No Lele.

The record is doused in sensuality with a lick of fierce determination as the velvet tones of EZI EMELA entwine their way across the Omeiza beat. The afrotrap-leaning record makes a bold statement about her persistence in the face of any doubters.

Accompanied by an equally mesmerizing video that sees the former Chanel model take on many different guises, the colour and dancing cascade across the screen in an amalgamation of fashion, UK street and African culture.

Having previously released a variation of music that has seen EZI EMELA sway between styles and vibes, including a clearer British R&B sound on Voicemail through to her collaborations with some of the biggest African music legends such as PSquare, 2Face, Idibia and Chocolate City, it is No Lele that takes elements of all to make this her biggest records to date.
