Following her appearance with single ‘Kiss Me’, which is ranked at #8 on NEW LEASE MUSIC’s Top Ten Songs of 2017 list, VIOLETA SKYA returns with the first release of the year entitled ‘Overload’.
Over an edgy dance drive, the Lithuanian singer/songwriter explores the ups and downs of a relationship…and out of nowhere, drops a rather glamorous rap, which is a big surprise!
‘Overload’ is the first single from Violeta’s forthcoming EP, set for release at the end of the year/early 2019.
For now, check out this pretty cool video for the single.
After dominating the limelight on NEW LEASE MUSIC earlier this year with single ‘Jungle’, MAKK MIKKAEL is back with her brand new single entitled ‘How It Feels,’
Feeling somewhat lighter than her previous melancholic offering, thanks to the layered electronic overtones, Mikkael penned the bitter-sweet number during her time in LA while going through the various dark stages of a relationship.
At the age of 19, you may think that this Canadian singer/songwriter has just slip onto the radar. Mikkael released a country album under the name Mackenzie Rose – at the age of 14 – and has worked with Felix Snow and producer JordanXL (Mike Posner).
Now entering a new chapter of her journey, MAKK MIKKAEL is striving to create change in the lives of others, experimenting and perfecting her craft with contrasting sounds that’s heavenly pure yet jarringly dense.
‘How It Feels’ is now available on all major download sites…check out the epic single…
Alongside the release of his 6 track EP ‘FFF PRISON’, which went straight in to the iTunes Hip-Hop chart at number one, K KOKE has dropped a new music video entitled ‘Letter Back.’
His EP takes us through a riveting journey of his time in prison, through his lyrics each song is trickled with a strong sense of self-realisation not just musically, but also personally. It is such a well-articulated account of the frustrations he feels as a man wrongly accused and having to face hard time. This EP takes it up a notch and takes a hard look at life from an inmate’s perspective and the effect it has on his family.
The harsh and restricting life of an inmate is really explored in this music video. ‘Letter Back’, as the name suggests, is a letter from a frustrated father to his family while he is in prison and missing all the core moment that make a dad, a dad. This video really tugs at the emotional heartstrings as it brings to life the inability for a man to see his child grow up. With visuals by Kye Taliana, the video has almost clocked 100,000 views in the few days since its release.
Featuring UK favourites Maverick Sabre, Dappy, Big French and Angel across the EP, to date FFF Prison has taken the Rap scene by storm. Charlie Sloth awarded ‘Letter Back’ with a prestigious record of the week across Radio 1. Now with the release available across all outlets and performing at the top of its genre, it’s clear to see K KOKE still has a compelling influence on the UK Rap game.
Following the release of her single ‘Space’, PHEBE EDWARDS has now unveiled her brand new visuals for the ambient R&B offering.
Featuring the vocals of recently signed singer/songwriter Cameron Bloomfield, the four-minute production sees the London R&B singer and songwriter in an open field, with clips of dancers eloquently representing her desperation for some freedom and ‘Space’.
Written by the promising songstress and produced by Luke ‘G-kid’ Grant and Kadeem Clarke ‘Space’ offers a glimpse into Phebe’s EP, expected for release later this year.
Take time out and watch the stunning video for ‘Space.’..if you like what you hear, Phebe will be performing on the 8th May at the Jazz Cafe, opening for Gabrielle’s new album launch – so if you’re in the London area around that time, go show your support!
‘Space’ is out now all major digital download sites, including iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon and Spotify.
NEW LEASE MUSIC has, yet again, unearthed another diamond from the overcrowded underground scene, this time coming in the shape of Olivia Duell – aka CURRIN.
Her latest single, ‘Sunshine’ sits on a bed of airy electronic overtones, conveying the feeling of being in a stable place, driven by the almost jarring downtempo bass which brings on that nagging inkling that something soon is going to go horribly awry.
CURRIN – the middle name of her great-grandmother and the maiden name of her great- great grandmother – plans to debut a new song a week on her Soundcloud and Patreon, where she will be largely experimenting with sparkly, Spyro the Dragon-esque compositions – so expect racy lo-fi/electronic-dominated numbers with jarringly bold sounds.
In addition to her weekly releases, the former member of folk/rock band Titmouse also plans to release an EP and music video this summer…with perhaps a few mixtapes in between…
For now, start your weekend right and press play on ‘Sunshine.’
