OUT TODAY: Gizella & Obsidian Cane share their love of music with track,‘Never Change’

Never Change was born out of the creativity and originality of devout music enthusiasts – singer GIZELLA and producer OBSIDIAN CANE. Boasting a fusion of their unique styles, which defies the traditional genres boundaries, ‘Never Change’ is out today (31st January) on various music platforms.

With their latest offering, it’s very clear that the pair are not just churning out music for the sake of it; instead they openly invite the listener to experience a piece of their artistry and vision. Obsidian Cane introduces a mellow drive of Drum n Bass, In ‘Never Change’ laying the perfect foundation to allow the prospective listeners to be compelled by the vulnerability of Gizella’s 3-octave vocal range.

‘Never Change’ may be an unlikely union on paper, as one may immediately think a vocal range suited in a classical setting has no place in the rave scene. However in reality, the two musical styles create a euphoric experience – a contrasting sound that’s unmistakably and unapologetically theirs.

Debuting on P.I.M.P Records in 1998 with the vinyl release of ‘Express Yourself,’ Gizella made a name for herself in the UK Underground Garage dance scene. Evolving as a versatile vocalist & singer-songwriter performing across a wide spectrum of genres – including Hip Hop, EDM, Drum n Bass, and Dubstep – Gizella has gained a well-earned reputation as a vocal chameleon and storyteller and has collaborated with various artists including Korostyle, Juleunique, Mizimo, Experimental Feelings and Ronny Becher.

Hailing from London, Obsidian Cane has produced music for artists signed to Warner Bros, EMI and Parlophone as well as producing music for TV shows on Channel 4, BBC1 and BBC2. He scored a club hit, ‘I Need A Rhythm’ as UKG duo KP and currently performs live with KP featuring Ferraz at events such as 51st state Festival, House of Silk. A Music Technology Graduate, Obsidian Cane bravely fuses R&B, Funk & Hip-Hop elements with electronic rhythms to create distinctive UK Garage, R&B/Hip Hop & Drum and Bass songs.

Their union is nothing short of a miracle: after producing music for 20 years, Obsidian Cane decided to quit. However, he made a return to the industry eight years ago, when the digital age gave musicians the opportunity to be fully independent. On a search for a female vocalist, he asked an old school friend, who told him about a singer who rides a bike every morning, singing angelically. Contact details were exchanged through the friend and the rest was history. It turns out the singer riding on the bike every morning was Gizella and the singing was her vocal exercise!    

Now the pair unveil their new single ‘Never Change’ which gives a glimpse into their new-found collaboration that challenges the prospective listener’s musical horizon. ‘Never Change’ is out today, 31st January.

    OUT TODAY: British R&B artist Ricardo Williams returns with his latest project, ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’.

    RICARDO WILLIAMS‘ new project, ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’, was created in a remarkable 7-day challenge. Featuring a unique mix of Christmas and R&B sounds, the EP includes two soulful R&B tracks alongside two festive songs, each offering a fresh twist on Christmas music. Known for embracing challenges, Ricardo has previously pushed the boundaries by writing, recording, and releasing a single within 24 hours. However, ‘4×7 marks his boldest venture yet: completing an entire EP in just seven days.

    The EP’s focus track, ‘Till The Day We Die’, showcases Ricardo’s rich R&B sound and storytelling style that fans have come to love. With 4×7, Ricardo set out to source the instrumentals, write the lyrics, record vocals, and publish a full EP in a single week.

    He describes the experience as both exciting and freeing. “I just really wanted to jump back into the swing of things, and how better to set myself a challenge to create a body of work or EP in a short amount of time,” Ricardo shares. “Letting go of perfection and just giving the audience exactly what they want is good R&B music.”

    With a distinct take on Christmas, 4×7 blends the festive warmth of the season with Ricardo’s signature R&B soul, creating a genre-blending experience that is both celebratory and introspective. The EP reflects Ricardo’s artistic growth, exploring the contrasts between festive cheer and deep R&B grooves.

    ‘4×7 (Four by Seven)’ was released today (26th November) on all major streaming platforms…why not check it out below…
