Song of the Day: Magnificent Day – J.kas

It’s been a while since Steel City rapper J.KAS last appeared on this platform, but he’s back with ‘Magnificent Day’—a track that channels the spirit of hip-hop’s golden era while radiating gratitude and positivity.

Before the beat even drops, listeners are welcomed by his signature intro: “Nah then”—the iconic Yorkshire greeting that has become J.KAS’s unmistakable sonic trademark. It’s a proud declaration of his Sheffield roots, setting the tone for a truly distinctive cross-cultural identity. Blending the gritty warmth of a Sheffield accent with the rhythmic cadence of Jamaican Patois, J.KAS has crafted a vocal style that is instantly recognizable and entirely his own.

Hailing from Sheffield but built for the global stage, J. Kas is an innovative recording artist rewriting the script on UK music fusion. Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, his sound is a vibrant tapestry where Northern Rap and classic Boom-Bap collide with the infectious global rhythms of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Dancehall Reggae. This eclectic, genre-fluid style is rooted in a musically infused childhood where he was raised on a diverse diet of
global sounds a foundation that now fuels his massive cross-cultural appeal.

Driven by an infectious, high-energy delivery and fiercely positive lyricism, J. Kas has evolved from a staple of the Yorkshire underground into a major UK breakthrough prospect. His growth has been heavily championed by BBC Introducing presenter Christian Carlisle, who has long backed J. Kas as a definitive key figure in the program. This grassroots momentum has successfully translated into national and international rotation, with J. Kas securing vital
airplay on prestigious platforms including BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Music 6, and France’s tastemaker station MOUVE Radio, firmly cementing his place as an emerging artist with global reach.

Song of the Day: Vices – Arash Nejad

A sombre yet compelling drive introduces ARASH NEJAD‘s debut single, ‘Vices’, putting him in very good stead as a serious contender in UK’s alternative R&B/Neo soul scene. The single then flourishes into a fresh, sultry take on slow jam as we know it, with Arash’s perfectly paired vocal performance, vividly narrating his strong addiction on one of his greatest vices – his love interest. As the single unholds, you can feel an intense desperation and raw desire that lingers long after the single ends.

From listening to ‘Vices’, it’s clear that Arash draws inspiration from urban music heavyweights such as Beyoncé, Michael Jackson and Frank Ocean. Fans of these artists are likely to find his sound equally compelling, as he blends familiar influences with a style that feels distinctly his own.

With ‘Vices’ covering themes of love and addiction with such emotional depth, it’s exciting to see what topics he explores next. I got a feeling he’s got so much to say and this debut offering is just a tip of a very large and complex iceburg. His strong sound creates an airy mystery around him with little known beyond the fact that he’s based somewhere in South East England. As his musicial journey unravels, I suspect he will reveal a piece of his world one chapter at a time and in my book that is enough to hang around for his next move…

‘Vices’ is now available now for your pleasure…why not check it out below…

Song of the Day: Am I Coming Over Or What – Handshake In Space

Swedish EDM artist HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with the new single ‘Am I coming over or what’, a pulsating up-tempo club song about late texts, broken boundaries and that person you can never really say no to. The single, which was written together with American songwriter and producer Tim Heller, is out now on all leading digital platforms.

With a lyrical universe that follows a protagonist through a night at the club – from the crowded dance floor to that last question on the phone – the song captures the feeling of trying to set boundaries but still ending up outside the door of the same apartment time and time again. The verses describe how the promise to “draw a line” falls apart as the bass thumps, the city sparkles while the chorus culminates in the straightforward and vulnerable question that also gave the song its title.

The colorful cover reinforces the theme: a cartoon superhero character, wrapped in a glittering cape and with his fist in the air, becomes a symbol of the inner strength you try to mobilize – even when you know you might give in anyway. The pop art-inspired aesthetic reflects the song’s mix of euphoria, nostalgia and self-distancing, and makes the single instantly recognizable in streams and playlists.

Sonically, ‘Am I coming over or what’ combines HANDSHAKE IN SPACE’s melodic signature with heavy, modern club grooves and a vocal production that sounds as much after-party in the kitchen as it does on the main stage. The result is a song that feels as natural in a late DJ set as it does in a late night drive home – a soundtrack to all those times you’ve promised yourself you won’t go back, but you’re still standing there, “just this last time”. Why not check out the single bellow…

Song of the Day: Quitting On You – Kimberly Dawn

Blending classic country charm with a modern twang, KIMBERLY DAWN‘s latest single ‘Quitting On You’, taps into a topic that’s all too relatable – trying getting over that great love that was once experienced. It creates that raw emotive heart-on-sleeve moment, where Kimberly bares all her vulnerability. After convincing herself she’s moved on, she confronts the truth: breaking away from a deep love can feel far harder than giving up even the toughest habits, like cigarettes or alcohol.

Kimberly Dawn is a true force to be reckon with. Recently named a 2025 Artist to Watch by Got Country Online, Kimberly has firmly established herself with the Country music scene, earning accolades from reputable publications including CMT, Holler, COWGIRL Magazine and Earmark. Her knack for crafting lyrics that truly hits the soul, has earned her a nomination for Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 Texas Country Music Awards for single, Cowboy’s Church’, as well as a Song of the Year nomination at the 2019 HMMI.

A voting member of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYs), the Country Music Association (CMA), the Academy of Country Music (ACM), and the Americana Music Association, Kimberly uses her platform as a Music Ambassador for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), seamlessly blending her artistry with a message of wellness and resilience. A longtime collaborator with acclaimed producer Kent Wells, Kimberly continues to refine her signature sound while connecting with fans on a deeper level, delivering performances and songs that feel both timeless and modern.

Song of the Day: City of Stars – Amity

On the back of his headline show at Hoxton’s Folklore last month, the rapidly acclaimed powerhouse AMITY has unveiled his latest single, ‘City Of Stars’. The single adds to his impressively expansive discography, boldly confronting topics that are often considered taboo or uncomfortable.

‘City Of Stars’ stands as the ultimate self-liberation anthem confronting the abuse of coercive control. Driven by a compelling yet ominous bassline, the track gradually builds through a tense, murmuring atmosphere before giving way to a reinvigorating orchestral swell. The sonic progression captures a powerful sense of release, embodying the idea that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Anchored by the 18-year-old’s raw and emotionally charged vocal performance, it’s almost impossible to believe that ‘City Of Stars’ was written during the final 40 minutes of Amity’s Physics GCSE exam.

The song quickly became a key moment in Amity’s live sets; its pulsing crunchy chords and gut spilling lyrics have moved listeners to tears in scores of shows up and down the country, notably both on the main stage at The Royal Albert Hall and on Elton John’s red piano at Amity’s sold out solo concert in The Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room in July.

‘City Of Stars’ is Amity’s first offering of 2026, which follows a explosion of support in 2025. From November’s iTunes pop chart success with the viral TikTok hit, ‘To Make A Man’, which was also featured in the prestigious industry insider bulletin, Record of the Day, to December’s success in the Future Hits Radio Top 40 of The Year and current double nomination by Radio Wigwam as ‘Breakthrough Artist 25’ and ‘Best Solo Act 25’, Amity’s rapid rise shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, after making it into the top picks of 25 for taste makers such as Jeff Thomas (FMOF) and Nick Tann (Fresh Music Fix), Amity’s also a current top ten finalist for Record Store Day’s Unsigned Artist competition and a current shortlist contender to play at The Musos.

With all the accolades rushing in all directions, it would be a very wise to keep Amity on your radar. With an EP on the horizon, ‘City Of Stars’ offers an very intriguing glimpse of what’s to come — and sets the stage for what could be a striking run of releases this year.
