New Track: Switch Up – Marcelle Adrianna (ft. Monique Amarylis)

Vocal powerhouse and ever rising R&B talent MARCELLE ADRIANNA delivers her latest soulful single ‘Switch Up’ featuring Monique Amarylis.

‘Switch Up’ comes off the back of her spellbinding EP ‘THE PROLOGUE’ which unearthed a handful of tracks that grabbed the attention of global gatekeeper to R&B, DJ Ace, who supported Marcelle on his BBC Radio 1Xtra show. The EP also saw Pride Magazine highlight her as their ‘One to Watch’ whilst the likes of Neon Music stated that she “deserves to be heard by millions of people”. She has previously performed alongside the 1975 and collaborated with Melissa Steel, so it is safe to say she is ticking a lot of boxes.

Delving into feel-good, old-school R&B goodness MARCELLE ADRIANNA showcases her signature riffs and succulent harmonies as nostalgic and contemporary flavours twist into a genuine R&B sound. With a bouncy backdrop, Marcelle and Monique, who are good friends beyond the studio, showcase their chemistry and put their real life conversations to life, providing an honest insight into the dynamics of relationships.

Born and raised in Toronto, Monique is another star in the making. Last year marked the release of her debut offering ’Falling in Love Again’ and ‘Switch Up’ is the follow-up single, which sees the two talents vocals effortlessly entwining…check it out below…

EP Review: Jade Vol.1 – Bianca Jade

Following the release of her single, ‘Feelin’, Florida’s rising R&B singer BIANCA JADE continues to spread the message of self-love and empowerment to the fellow female race, through her second EP ‘Jade Vol.1’, released yesterday.

Comprising of just four tracks, ‘Jade Vol.1’ introduces a bed of soothingly idyllic soundscapes, met with an infectiously dominant b-line through ‘Used To This.’ This combo, topped off by Jade’s alluringly delicate vocals, continues throughout the set.

Concluding piece,’B.S.’, pleasantly interrupts the EP’s soothing theme, with angelic guitar plucks taking centre stage and gives some body to the track’s airy arrangement. Jade’s vocals, which remained constantly delicate throughout the EP, suddenly roars with passion, definitely one of the highlights of the collection.

Having creating major buzz in her hometown, Miami with debut EP, ‘B-Light’, the Cuban/Jamaican songbird decided to step up her music career by moving to New York City – and her latest offering has every possibility to repeat that success in the Big Apple.

It’s time to witness a star on the rise – check her out below:
