Manchester singer/songwriter TAYA SOPHIE is back with her brand new offering titled, Leaving, taken from her EP, Know My Name.
Ready to carry on the momentum that was generated from her last track F**ked Up, this almost three-and-a-half-minute track displays her wide range of singing abilities whether it is hitting high notes or singing smooth melodies.
You’re forgiven if you think Leaving is a song about a girl liberating herself from a deadbeat boyfriend – in fact, it gives a personal insight into a father and daughter relationship. The song was written to illustrate how close a father and daughter can be, especially at an early stage. The song talks about a daughter leaving her father in order to move in with her boyfriend. The essence of the song displays the highs and lows of this type of relationship.
A video to the single, shot in the songstress’ hometown last year, will be coming out very soon. Once you watch
the video, hopefully everything will make sense!
Currently working on new material, this is the first instalment that is from her new body of work that will only wet
the appetite from wanting to hear more from this promising young scarlet.
STICKY BLOOD return after an array of quality music in 2015 that turned the heads of the major music tastemakers. The Blood is Stickier Than Water E.P, written and recorded at the Red Bull Studios, featured One Bar In ft. MC’s Coco & Snowy and Balance, which put the production duo on the map garnering support from Monki, Toddla T, Mistajam, Jamz Supernova, Complex, Clash and excitement through the indie music scene.
Following hot on its heels and showing exactly why they’re in such high demand with artists waiting to work with them, Sticky Blood dropped the infectious Valium featuring singer Gaby Henshaw.
The title Valium is used by the production duo as a metaphor to show the desire to be asleep where you can experience something away from reality and where things are unassuming. Like the description, the production follows its movement; it develops and builds as the tracks deepens with punchy club style drums mixed with anthemic style synths in the build-ups, and contemporary sounds in the drop and switch. It’s confident in its sound, and in the second part we see saturated bass and stuttered patterns. The twists and turns in their production style constantly surprise and highlight their diversity and intricacy.
The cinematic visuals match the portrayal from the lyrics and the beat with Gaby Henshaw depicting a girl up in the hills away from everything, but searching for something. It’s very much open to interpretation as to where, why and how, but shows desperation, and leaves the viewer considering and asking all types of questions.
Andy Nicholson and Jamie Shield have created a striking and unique sound that can move people emotionally working with established singers such as Terri Walker and Tom Prior, but also create Grime tracks at a 155bpm with up and coming MCs. They are fresh and innovative and continue to bring an exciting, rule-breaking sound to 2016.
Ben Johnson – aka PROJECT X – makes a return with his second release, Introspect, a more chilled-out and atmospheric deep dance/garage composition compared to previous effort, Sensi.
