Song of the Day: Weirdo – The High Breed

Hip-hop collective THE HIGH BREED hits today’s hotspot, aiming to prove that weird can be wonderful with their latest track ‘Weirdo’

This is the first song the group have experimented with in a trap style. The combination of faster pace, slick rhyming and the wacky fairground melodies, creates the perfect atmosphere to express the notion of weirdness as a sense of freedom…check it out!

Song of the Day: Smother Me – Olivia Nelson

After accumulating over five million streams featuring on Soulection Jarreau Vandal’s ‘Someone That You Love’, OLIVIA NELSON dominates today’s hotspot with gospel-led, soulful track – ‘Smother Me’.

Premiered by DJ Target on BBC Radio 1Xtra as ‘UK unsigned’, the sensual track, which mixes the perfect blend of smooth vocals, passionate lyrics, and pumping bass lines shows the 21-year-old London singer/songwriter power as not only a skilled artist and songwriter, but a powerhouse vocalist whose range and control over carefully crafted production by Jarreau Vandal.

With a debut EP due out early summer, March will see the release of the next instalment from Olivia, as well as shows at London’s Hackney Oslo and Omera.

This is some powerful stuff…I highly recommend you check out ‘Smother Me’ before you sign out.

Song of the Day: Half of Me (Acoustic Version) – Yasmeen

The acoustic version of ‘Half of Me’ is a brutally honest portrayal of how YASMEEN felt when she met her ex’s girlfriend for the first time – which happened one night in the studio.

While working on another song, she felt the need to do something more stripped back musically. Something more real and honest. She wanted to let out the raw emotions, of letting her ex go, and how meeting his new girlfriend forced those feelings onto paper. Her manager, heard the song, and said it was her best vocal performance. Have a listen…
