New Music Video: Oxygen – Nicky Davey

Nicky Davey Oxygen

Nick Green and Dave Rosser officially formed the soulful project NICKY DAVEY in 2011. They started out just making records together under various aliases until they carved a sound they could truly call their own.

Constantly striving to reinvent the modern pop song, they were given the opportunity to work closely with Odd Future affiliates, The Internet. Lead Singer Nick Green’s vocal production on The Internet’s Ego Death helped earn it a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Back in February, Nicky Davey were the only duo unsigned to a major label to be featured on the NOW 57 compilation.

Oxygen is an infectious and sensual slow jam layered with Nick Green’s soulful vocals. Written with long time collaborator and friend Syd Tha Kyd (The Internet) the song is about the first stages of love, Nick adds: ‘I wanted to be honest to myself and others about the way I felt. I feel like as songwriters we all write songs in some shape or form about our love interest/inspiration’. Directed by Dan Stowell and Rich Yodsukar, the black-and-white visuals emphasize the raw feel of the song.

Oxygen is the first single taken from their upcoming album XXX set to be released later this year.

New Track: Soho Ride – Farida

Farida soho ride

I’ve just found this beautiful track on SoundCloud, performed by Norwegian singer/songwriter by the name of FARIDA.

This gentle songstress-on-the-rise, who opened gigs for heavyweights including Ne-Yo, has ingeniously put a delicately fresh spin on neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop. Lead single, Soho Ride, features the perfect airy balance of R&B with the flirtatious rhythms of the Middle East. This three-minute of heavenly bliss is for the ladies who find themselves in a dead-end relationship, as the message is – let it loose; it’s OK be alone.

Soho Ride is taken from her latest album, The 25th Hour, available on SoundCloud.
