Song of the Day: Fade Away – Ricardo Williams

Following a prolific journey in the R&B landscape, RICARDO WILLIAMS unveils ‘Fade Away,’ a soul-stirring R&B slow jam that signals a poignant farewell to a familiar sound and heralds the dawn of an invigorated artistic path. Drawing inspiration from the heartfelt undertones in Summer Walker’s ‘Say My Name,’ Ricardo crafts a narrative that mirrors his own experiences, feelings of loss, and the rediscovery of his artistic essence.

The inception of ‘Fade Away’ came about at a deeply personal space, a time when Ricardo felt detached from his creative self, grappling with a loss of direction in his music. This period of artistic stagnation, characterised by months of being unable to write, urged him to channel the feelings of letting go into the
realm of relationships, creating a metaphor that beautifully depicts his evolving relationship with music.

Ricardo shares, “This song came about from a time when I felt like I had lost my essence as an artist, chasing the wrong things and losing my spark in the process. ‘Fade Away’ is a testament to the journey of rediscovery, using the pain and the detachment as a metaphor woven into a relationship narrative. It marks the end of an era and the exciting beginning of what’s next, a rebirth of Ricardo Williams.”

‘Fade Away’ bears the authenticity of a heartfelt goodbye, a relinquishment of the past, and a warm embrace of the promising future. It resonates as a beacon of renewal, the culmination of one chapter and the eager step into another, carrying the hallmark of Ricardo’s immersive R&B with a fresh and revitalised spirit.

As Ricardo prepares to explore fresh horizons, immersing himself in the studio in anticipation of an upcoming album, ‘Fade Away’ stands as a sincere note to fans, an invitation to witness the transformation and to grow alongside an artist ready to bare his soul in new, profound ways.

Pop/neo soul songbird Megzz goes ‘Through The Motions’ with latest EP

With sold-out gigs, music video directing credits, a performance at All Points East, and an Amazon Prime documentary under her belt, Northamptonshire singer-songwriter MEGZZ topped off a stellar year with her EP ‘Through the Motions’.

Blending her own mix of R&B, neo-soul, and pop, Megzz has taken 2023 by the horns by releasing two singles off her upcoming EP after featuring as one of the subjects of the Amazon Prime documentary ‘Unsigned’ (following the journeys of AMEX’s unsigned artists) at the end of 2022. Believing music is a powerful therapy to herself & others, Megzz’s lyricism focuses on empowerment, self-love and transparency around mental health struggles.

“The EP is an unapologetically honest and personal body of work that explores themes of consent, boundaries and self-love, grief, mental health struggles, and most importantly – recovery”, Meggz said. “Though it explores difficult topics, Through The Motions remains empowering and inspiring; encouraging others to find strength in expressing their feelings and owning their own story.”

Through the Motions will feature two brand new tracks, including ‘Motions’, a song that Megzz has held close to her heart for years. Written in 2019 as a personal mantra before becoming lyrics, ‘Motions’ is described by Megzz as “the sunset on the bad days, and the sunrise on the good days”. Rather than being written reflectively, ‘Motions’ is about the present “going through” of mental health struggles and dealing with how “horrible, uncomfortable feelings come in waves, and it’s all about riding out those waves”. Waves and the sound of water are an integral part of Through the Motions, as the EP is all about going through the motions, allowing feelings, and taking power in the process.

Through The Motions is accompanied by the release of short documentary style video, documenting Megzz’s journey of creating the EP whilst battling with her own mental health struggles. EP Through the Motions will is out now via various music platforms. Check it out below…

Eleanor unveils her highly-anticipated debut EP, ‘A Late Bloom’

ELEANOR is a singer-songwriter with an R&B leaning sound, coloured in hues of soul and indie. She takes a narrative approach to songwriting, based on experiences of grief and overcoming to shape stories that are robust and deeply felt.

“I make music because it would be harder not to, it’s a very natural extension of my personhood,” says the artist, whose debut album, ‘A Late Bloom’, has come to fruition. “I hope that in being honest on this project, listeners will feel less alone.” Largely produced by 3x JUNO nominated artist John Fellner, stream it in full here.

The mini set includes previously released singles, ‘Make Sense’ (which claimed the Song of the Week title last December) ‘Waste My Time’, and ‘Former Friend’. With guitar plucks giving a rich soulful sound, debut single, ‘Make Sense’ chronicles a conversation with her mother, reflecting on the frustration that comes with not reaching certain milestones ‘on time,’ such as marriage and home ownership.

Processing a mesmerically hypnotic backdrop, ‘Waste My Time’ was inspired by a friendship that was tiptoeing into a relationship, whereas ‘Former Friend’ leans towards a folklore feel, reflecting on self-worth when a friendship comes to an end

The closing track, ‘Faintest Hope’, is both beautiful and unsettling, a cry for hope from a vacant and barren tundra.

‘A Late Bloom’ was released last Friday, 6th October across various music platforms below…have a listen below…
