Star Song: Chasing the Sun – Opusonic

opusonic chasing the sun

Today song is called Chasing the Sun from UK electronic duo OPUSONIC.

OPUSONIC is formed by brother and sister from Essex (Jon and Saira) – and boy do they make a good team! Jon creates light, crisp and on-point electronic/dance melody, whilst songwriter Saira offers an ultra soothing, dreamy and almost DIDO-esque vocals. This track is fit for a chilled out day on a beach in Ibiza.

Go on guys, have a listen to Chasing the Sun. If this track tickle your fancy, head over to their SoundCloud page and listen to more of their  out-of-this-world tracks.

Star song: Wanda – All We Got (ft Aimee Pace) MA

Today’s song is coming from one of UK’s brightest rappers, WANDA. His latest single, All We Got, is the third release from his debut mixtape, The Rebirth.

Born and bred in Leicester, WANDA began rapping since the age of 15 and in 2009 he signed his first record deal with Global Xzotix Records as writer and recording artist. He part ways with the record label in 2011 and although there were no official releases, the young rapper sites his experience with Global Xzotix Records as a learning curve.

WANDA featured on hip-hop group Leicester All Star’s hit track Straight from Lc. This track received heavy rotation on BBC Radio 1Xtra and the video to the song received over half million views on Youtube.  WANDA also had the opportunity to support acts such as BOW WOW.

2012 saw this talented artist penned songs for himself as well as other singers. In 2013, WANDA released his first mixtape The Rebirth. If you haven’t heard of WANDA, I suggest you listen to All We Got, as it is the perfect introduction to this guy’s oh-so-sick freestyling! With this track, this may be his breakthrough year!

Star Song: Richie Ashwin –Eyes On Me

Richie Ashwin - All Eyes On Me

RICHIE ASHWIN is back with another stunning production, Eyes On Me.  Last month, I had the pleasure of reviewing this British R&B artist’s self-titled EP, which are 5 tracks of atmospheric R&B with a little dubstep and hip-hop/trip-hop.

Produced by Anthony Young, Eyes On Me feature that trademark of atmospheric R&B, where this talented Londoner switches from smooth vocals to an even cooler freestyling – what a treat!

Here’s your chance to listen to Eyes On Me. Have you heard his debut EP? If not, get your skates on and listen to it here.

Star Song: Breathe Audio – All My Sins

Breathe Audio

Today’s song is from Jack Bicknell and Nick Proudlock, otherwise known as BREATHE AUDIO. The British duo started out in late 2012, bringing their very unique infusion of indie pop and electronic and perhaps a little soft rock to the scene. Their signature sound was well-received as in their short existence, the indie act was fully booked for live shows around Manchester.

In February, they released their uplifting 80’s inspired pop track Born Again available on SoundCloud – and there’s no stopping BREATHE AUDIO as they churned out another equally uplifting indie pop/electronic creation, All My Sins. So what’s the next for these guys? Well they’ve locked themselves away in their ‘home studio’, writing and producing incomparable productions – and the plan is to release a single every six weeks. So maybe there’s an album in the pipeline? That depends on you! Go on, show your appreciation and have a listen to All My Sins – because good original music starts right here!
