New Track: Personal – Ricardo Williams

One of NEW LEASE MUSIC’s favourite R&B powerhouse RICARDO WILLIAMS returns to the blog’s limelight with his most personal work to date…

In the latest single, ‘Personal’, Ricardo delivers a sincere story of taking a potentially great relationship out of the stagnant stage to flourish to another level. It’s so hard to believe that the wear-your-heart-on-the-sleeve number took only a week to produce! Don’t know how he goes it!

‘Personal’ is the first release from his work-in-progress album. From what I’ve heard from this track, it should go down as a treat…don’t miss out…better have a listen….

New Track: Caroline – Shaefri

‘Caroline’ definitely hits a raw nerve with London-based singer/songwriter SHAEFRI. With atmospheric soundcapes coupled with the stunningly soft/heartfelt vocals, the latest single tells the story of witnessing someone close hitting the self-destruct button – and feeling powerless to save them.

On her most personal release to date, SHAEFRI explains: “I wrote Caroline the day after I received a phone call saying someone close to me was in hospital after overdosing. I cried the whole day but I was also so angry with her for letting it happen. I was so afraid for her life. I felt guilty for not being there when it had happened, that I couldn’t stop her from doing it, and no longer being able to help. Every time it happens, there’s less of a person left to put back together.”

Following the success of previous releases, ‘Pixelate’, ‘Monster, ‘Rabbit Hole’, and ‘Give It All’, SHAEFRI has seen an influx of support from Clash, DIY, and Hattie Pearson at Radio X, whilst her unique brand of haunting vocals and minimalistic beats have seen sold-out performances at venues, such as The Old Blue Last and Notting Hill Arts Club.

‘Caroline’ is the last installment of her EP ‘Cracks’…have a listen to this powerful piece…
