July Jones Reveals New Single, ‘Switch It Off’

Currently in studio sessions with Girli and writing for Nasty Cherry, JULY JONES can now reveal her latest release, ‘Switch It Off’ out now.

The British-Slovene artist has also announced that she’ll be supporting GIRLI at her ‘Don’t call me a Ho Ho Ho Xmas Extravaganza’ at The Post Bar, London, this Sunday (15th December).

Speaking on the release, July says: “The single is about waking up from a one-night-stand and constantly thinking about the person you were with the night before. This is exactly what happened to my boyfriend and I, I became obsessed with fantasying about him to the point I couldn’t switch it (my mind) off.”

As a champion of all things LGBTQ+ and a fiercely independent artist with a rebellious streak, July aims to empower young women through her music and has talked openly about mental health issues in the past. Her previous single ‘Liar Liar’ saw tastemaker support from the likes of Notion, Gay Times & Hunger Magazine. July will also appear in the forthcoming Noctis Magaazine print edition.

With previous support shows for the likes of Shakka, Professor Green & Rita Ora – not forgetting performances at The Great Escape, Leeds, London, Manchester & Helsinki Pride – July Jones continues to step into her own space as a songwriter, singer, style influencer and sought after live performer.

Stay tuned for the official video for ‘Switch It Off’.

Natz Drops Brand New Single, ‘How You Make A Girl Feel’

Hailing from Wolverhampton Natalie Stewart – aka NATZ – is one of those singers/songwriters who has a knack for connecting with the prospective listener based on her life experiences.

Possessing a vibrant R&B vibe, her new single, ‘How You Make A Girl Feel’ displays one of her experiences; it paints a raw picture of the female perspective in a relationship, letting the male counterpart know that she’s in it for the long-haul and that she’s not messing around. Through the frank perspective, The UK newcomer carries warmth in her vocals performance.

Fairly new to the UK R&B scene, NATZ has quickly carved out a name for herself with tracks, ‘Getting Paid’ and ‘TICK TOCK’. Earlier this year, NATZ teamed up with DJ Corrupt for her biggest single to date, ‘It’s Not Okay’, which has generated over 320,000 streams on Spotify alone.

After accumulating over 175,000 streams with three self-released singles, whilst gaining coverage across BBC Radio One, BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Radio 6 Music, electronic jazz singer/songwriter, TILLY VALENTINE adds latest effort ‘Fit For A King’ to her impressively growing discography.

Possessing a fresh take of R&B/soul with a hint of jazz, giving the almost three-minute production a vibrant uplift, ‘King For A King’ essentially chronicles when a person doesn’t know when they’re in a perfect relationship – that’s fit for a king!

Before its release last month, ‘Fit For A King’ was featured on BBC Radio One with Huw Stephens, as well as being added to BBC Sounds ‘The Hot List’ and gained further support from BBC Radio 1Xtra.

Jessica Wilde blends old soul with savvy street defiance on new single ‘Out Of My ooo’

Following her debut ‘Cry For Me’, which was premiered as BBC Radio 1xtra’s ‘Record Of The Week’, Brixton raised singer JESSICA WILDE is ready to sweep you off your feet with a sassy new single ‘Out Of My ooo’.

The single bursts with classic soul style blended with street savvy defiance. This creative fusion reflects her multicultural upbringing; brought up on her St Helenian mother’s obsession with jazz and soul, Jessica doused it with hip hop leanings and set it a light.

With its brass, bouncy bass and finger-clicking strut tempo it’s impossible not to get hooked on ‘Out Of My ooo’ and its attitude infused swing. It’s the type of top songwriting that has seen Jessica sign a publishing deal with Sony ATV and work with luminaries such as Ghetts and Tough Love. Another of her self-penned tracks ‘Strangers Love’ was recently released by renowned Korean K-pop label SM Entertainment and her recent co-write with Rudimental, ‘More Than Anything’ featured vocals from Emile Sande and made their album.

The session at Ne-Yo’s Hollywood studio, with producer Kizzo (Ne-Yo, Afrojack) was a defining moment for Jessica – not only because she survived a bizarre, high speed LA crash moments before the recording began, but because her own project was borne and the basis of her upcoming singles took form. Three months in LA, and several purposefully missed flights later, Jessica returned to London, ready to showcase herself and her music to the world…

With its festive glow and stylish addictive refrain ‘Out Of My ooo’ is set to put Jessica Wilde firmly on the map this winter as an unmissable diverse artist who embraces the best of classic songwriting and instills it with bite.
