New Music Video: Never Be – Nzilani

Nzilani never be

With a pop-driven vibe and smooth powerful vocals, NZILANI released the official video to single Never Be. The four-minute production is about debuting herself as an artist and about not being pigeon-holed or compared to other artists.

Having been fully immersed in the musical theatre and acting world since the age of just four, the 20-year-old has starred as Motormouth Maybell in Hairspray and even appeared in two Peppa Pig episodes.

Now living in London after spending eight years in Switzerland, NZILANI is ready to unleash her talent to the world. With idols such as Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson, NZILANI admires and draws influence on these strong unique characters, pushing her to make her own truly unique sound.

Never Be is the first release from her album, Swiss Intermission, coming out this Friday via iTunes.

Album Review: I Find Myself Here – Antonia Redding

Antonia Redding

Singer/Songwriter ANTONIA REDDING described her sound as ‘worldwide pop’, displayed through her latest full-length album, I Find Myself Here.

Worldwide pop is essentially a soothing fusion of the acoustic guitar (giving off that real folklore feel) with drums producing beautiful hints of African-influenced rhythms – all completed by Redding’s rich and equally soothing vocals (think of a female version of Paul Simons.)

This is a perfect collection for those lazy Sunday afternoons. A full version of I Find Myself Here is available on iTunes.

Must Listens: Backdrop, Toorelyay, The Words We Choose, Only Name, No Beginning No End, Alone To Reunite

New Track: Don’t Go – Basheba

Basheba Don't go

Featuring a soft, house piano line and echoed backing vocals,  BASHEBA’s latest effort, Don’t Go, gets  a makeover from two producers,  XVR BLCK and Musika.

Musika has enhanced the soulful vocal by adding in a beautiful guitar instrumental, where XVR BLCK has given the track a more funky edge, with piano riffs.

Born and raised in London by her British Dad and Bajan Mum, BASHEBA  has been honing her musical craft from a young age, beginning to write songs aged 14. Inspired by her Bajan roots, BASHEBA has lived and breathed music ever since, starting her own record label, Y.O.B Records (Youth of Britain), in late 2013 and she has so far released 2 EP’s: Bad Friends, Good Enemies and Sessions. BASHEBA is keen to continue creating evocative narratives through her music. She says, “A song is nothing without a story. I’m a storyteller, I just tell my stories through song.”

So hear her story and listen to the original version of Don’t Go. The single is coming from her latest EP, Axiom Part 1, out now.
