New Track: Keeper – Olivia Nelson

OLIVIA NELSON is back with her third single ‘Keeper’, taken from her EP, ‘Back To You’, set for release on 30th August.

Continuing a flawless run of narrative singles, ‘Keeper’ sees Olivia musing on her ex’s new relationship. “It’s a message to his new girlfriend. A warning of what’s potentially to come,” she explains. Underpinned by a heavy funk rhythm section, ‘Keeper’ is a perfect encapsulation of Olivia’s uptempo R&B.

The UK’s promising talent is set to perform on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival this year, followed by her own headline show at Hoxton Bar & Kitchen in London, UK on October 15th.

New Music Video: Deja Vu – Brit Daniels

Promising Nashville pop songstress BRIT DANIELS is back with the official music video for her latest hypnotic pop single, ‘Deja Vu.’ The single, which was released in late March, is brought to life in the somber new visual directed by Matteo Guastamacchio and starring Daniels herself.

‘Deja vu’ is defined as the feeling of having already experienced the present situation and in Daniels’ ‘Deja Vu’ music video that tedious familiarity is brought to life through reversing and repeating shots of the same things happening over and over again. It’s minimalistic yet powerful, bringing the mesmeric pop song to life.

Song of the Day: Dawn – Mackenta

MACKENTA‘s latest single, ‘Dawn’ chronicles when you fall head over heels for someone HARD, knowing that the person isn’t in it for the long haul. Despite seeing the warning signs, you let the relationship go on. Come on, hands up, we’ve all been in that messy situation!

Speaking of the R&B/pop number, the Toronto singer/songwriter said: “I felt a lot of mixed emotions while writing “Dawn.” Nostalgia over the good memories and potential, resentment about not being something more, shame over allowing the situation to escalate so far. I’m telling it from my point of view, so there’s a sense of blame towards this person who is not mature enough to take things seriously; but also realizing that I’m equally to blame for not drawing the line or understanding my own intentions. Ultimately, it’s about two people who both need to heal before they could ever be together.”

Look out for MACKENTA‘s EP dropping later this year. For now, check out the video for the melodic ‘Dawn’ below:
