New Music Video: Falling – Turya

Singer, songwriter and composer artist T U R Y A reveals her brand new music video ‘Falling’, the second single from her forthcoming debut album ‘Ocean’ released via Kobalt Music. Directed by Alexander Boethius and filmed in Siberia, the video embodies T U R Y A’ s now distinct, signature style.

Drawing inspiration from T U R Y A’ s worldly experiences, the video paints a deeply personal portrait of the artist’s current journey and feelings. ‘Falling’ shows a more honest, darker side compared to the ethereal, bittersweet debut single ‘Rain’. The video is a powerful vehicle that takes the viewer into a shamanic world of nature, harmony and freedom, far away from the conflicts of the modern world. Her distinctive vocals float bewitchingly over the emotive soundscape and visuals, resonating with depth and meaning.

Tonight, Londoner TURYA will be performing ‘Falling’ and other tracks from her forthcoming album ‘Ocean’ live for the first time at The Slaughtered Lamb, London. After the cult success of her debut single ‘Rain’ which came out earlier this year, T U R Y A has undergone a total artistic evolution, introducing raw, poignant and personal explorations with her debut album, transitioning into the artist she has always wanted to be.

‘Falling’ is now available on Spotify…but first watch the video to the stunning single.

Song of the Day: Wild Wild West – Tobi Sunmola

Tipped as Mobo’s ‘One to Watch’ TOBI SUNMOLA returns to centre stage with the second release ‘Wild Wild East’, from his forthcoming EP.

The self-produced single showcases this newcomer’s versatility and ability to combine clever wordplay and infectious flows, with politically driven lyricism. At times the track is reminiscent of the Joey Bada$$ album ‘All Amerikkkan Bada$$’ with the young MC drawing inspiration from his African roots and struggles that he has continued to wrestle with during life in East Manchester.

A play, on the widely known phrase – ‘Wild Wild West’ – Tobi states that, “I used this reference to explain the big bad world I have to deal with, the negativity, deceit, envy and hardship, and how I try to keep my energy high through it all, in the hope of making it back home.”

Growing up in Nigeria, Tobi recalls that “becoming an artiste wasn’t a visible reality. I made music because I really wanted to”. His determination to succeed as a musician against the odds saw Sunmola saving up lunch money daily to skip school and head to the studio with his rap crew Dope Kommunity. Moving to Manchester aged 16 the young poet instantly immersed himself in the grime and UK hip hop scene, and his dedication has seen him achieve great things at the early stages of his career. Alongside winning Adidas’ ‘Take the Stage’ competition, he performed Radio 1 Big Weekend Exeter and has been acclaimed by the likes of Complex, The Line Of Best Fit, Afropunk, DJ Booth and BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

Progressive and perceptive, ‘Wild Wild East’ is a further testament to TOBI SUNMOLA’s out-of-the-box approach as he continues to establish himself as one of the most exciting talents coming out of Manchester’s burgeoning underground music scene.
