Raphael Tate Unveils First Release Of The Year, ‘Share My Life’

UK-based singer/songwriter RAPHAEL TATE kicks off 2022 on a triumphant note with his brand new single, ‘Share My Life’, out now on all good download and streaming sites.

The self-penned single is a reminder to love and cherish loved ones – and never take them for granted. Raphael robustly soulful vocals leads the jubilant bounce of a soul/reggae/Afrobeat fusion, produced by Terrence Chamberlin (Bluesteel Studio) and Jermaine Forde (Ajang Music). A multi-Grammy nominated producer and the son of the legendary Brinsley Forde from Aswad, Jermaine has worked with the likes of Julian Marley and Black Uhuru and also produced Raphael’s 2020 BBC London/BBC1xtra-approved single, ‘A Fool In Love.’

Starting out as a Billboard chart-topping artist, peaking at number 25 on the American Dance Club with 2017 single, ‘ With Every Beat Of My Heart’, Raphael changed direction, venturing out as an independent artist and started his own label, Tate Love Production. His soulful vocal performance quickly earned him the title, ‘Prince Of Soul’ by his ever growing fanbase through tracks, ‘A Fool In Love’ and ‘Everyday Is Mother’s Day’ – an tribute to his late mother – ‘Can You Feel It’ and ‘Blessed’, named Track of the Week by Premiere Gospel.

‘Share My Life’ follows Raphael’s BBC Leicester-approved single ‘FEAR.NO.EVIL’ (released in October 2020) and soul ballad ‘Everything Must Change’ (released November 2020), where he teamed up with the legendary jazz musician and artist JeffMajors to create a soulful remake of Benard Ighner /Quincy Jones 1974 single.

‘Share My Life’ was released on 15th April on download/streaming sites.

K Harrison Makes His Debut With Brand New Single, ‘Boss (Call Away)’

Following his own experiences working with stars including Ed Sheeran, and being championed by U.S Rapper The Game, Derby native K HARRISON launches his solo career with the release of his single ‘Boss (Call Away)’.

Produced by Certi Beats, the fiery single is an ode to the female ‘Boss’. With Mediterranean synths and a deep reverberating bass making up the backbone of the record, K Harrison effortlessly slides on to the beat for a soul-shaking performance that captures the passion, desire and enchantment of the lyrics.

Fondly dubbed the ‘Fresh Prince of Derby’, the emerging artist has developed a strong local following of fans and music critics. With a love for his craft and live performance, he has also stretched his legs across the globe, performing in countries across Europe and Asia and even finding a slot on the mainstage at BST Hyde park in front of 70,000 people where he performed a full set on the Barclaycard stage.

Currently focused on building his career and an extensive catalogue of music, the last year has seen him stay closer to home and set up camp in the studio where he has built a wealth of new tracks that are set to be released as his debut album in the not-too-distant future. Leading the charge on the music is ‘Boss (Call Away)’ and if it’s anything to go by, then we’ll be hearing a lot more of K Harrison from now on. Check out the official video for single below…

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Dallas-based rapper J French’s drops his hypnotic lyric video for latest single ‘Exotic Flowers’.

J French says of his new single: “I wanted to acknowledge how strong and dope women can be with this song. I do that by giving flowers to a few women I know personally. The first verse is dedicated to a longtime friend, and the second verse is dedicated to a love interest. Every woman is their own unique flower, and this song presents the whole bouquet.”

‘Exotic Flowers’ is the second single from French’s new album Good Karma. As his first album without profanity, the album is the result of deep introspection and therapy, and serves as French’s fourth full-length project, which topped digital streaming platforms and stores upon its release in late January.

Produced by Drvmroll, who has worked with Burna Boy, Sway DaSafo and Frisco, with arrangements and co-production from Rvdical The Kid (Tems, Amaarae, Kojey Radical), award-winning Ghanaian rapper M.ANIFEST‘s single, ‘Scorpio Flow’ is a head-bopping statement track and a chest-thumping reminder that the Madina native has carved his own unmatched space in the global music ecosystem, and is in a lane all by himself.
