New Track: Pass Me By – Jovel

Jovel

I have another smooth R&B number, in the form of Pass Me By, coming from singer and rapper JOVEL. The single is coming from his debut EP The Void, out next month.

Featuring a brooding yet soulful/trap arrangements, ‘Pass Me By’, a song that firmly focuses on depression and suicide. The four-minute production is a great insight into the four-track set as it further touches on the aforementioned issues and also covers topics such as addiction, loneliness and emptiness. With the newcomer’s hard-hittingly raw delivery, the project flips between waves of alternative R&B, soul, pop and hip-hop.

Jove

The singer and rapper aims to make his new EP as interactive and engaging as possible. Unveiled in 15 second episodes on his Instagram account, JOVEL will broadcast The Void: An Instagram Movie, a compilation of completely fresh footage that interlink the EP’s tracks and videos together. Released fortnightly, each cut will continue a story that develops throughout the campaign, giving his fans the chance to interact with the Londoner directly.

The Void EP is all set for released on 20th June…but for now, listen to Pass Me By

Song of the Day: Aim – Adian Coker (ft. Bluey Robinson)

Adian Coker

ADIAN COKER takes Aim and shows what a true marksman he is on his brand new single taken from forthcoming E.P Connect.

A futuristic galaxy of electro synths orbit around an explosive drum beat making way for the entrance of a rock fuelled hook. The larger-than-life emcee takes a strong lyrical stance on the three-and-a-half banger, a quality that his fans will already be accustomed to – however there’s something notably different about this record. There’s a relaxed edge to the track, aided by the smooth R&B/soulful hook from Bluey Robinson, making it the perfect introduction to his EP.

In recent years, the South Londoner has earned an array of support from some of the most impressive music platforms. Each of them delve into his musical output giving the big thumps up to his ingenuity, depth and ambition yet there’s always been an air of mystery surrounding him and his music.

Connect is a very deliberate release, offering a side to ADIAN COKER that hasn’t been revealed before. The release gives an understanding and a much more upbeat and playful element to his music without any compromise on quality.

So here’s your chance to take aim to check out the single.

Upcoming Release: Get Your Sexy On – Lovestarrs

Lovestarrs

Newly re-launched as LOVERSTARRS, Sarah McIntosh (vocals) and her brother Hamish (bass and synths), tease us with a taste of their debut album in the form of lead single Get Your Sexy On, due for release on 3rd June.

The slick electronic outfit, formerly known as The Good Natured whilst signed to Parlophone/EMI, return with their unique brand of unashamed electro-pop thanks to a little help from their fans via a successful Kickstarter campaign, which has funded forthcoming LP Planet Lovestarr  set to drop this August.

Now signed to new independent label DEFDISCO, who can already boast the likes of Public Enemy amongst their roster, the sibling are stepping up their game with Get Your Sexy On, an encouraging ode to lovers intertwined in a rapturous and motivating melody. B-side Drop Dead Gorgeous supports the track in an equally light-hearted manner, slowly revealing a straight woman’s interest in another girl.

No strangers to the unexpected, in a former incarnation the band had a string of European hits and were praised by the likes of The Guardian, NME, Clash and The 405, but received a crushing blow when their album was shelved prior to its already confirmed release with Parlophone/EMI. Now, with the backing of artist-empowering label DEFDISCO, Sarah and Hamish are back with a vengeance – and nothing will stop them this time.
