Song of the Day: Give Thx – Joss Bari

As this is the day for reflection and gratitude, I thought I would share with you JOSS BARI‘s second single, ‘Give Thx’.

Sporting a laid-back (almost) afterhours vibe with sporadic electrifyingly tones, which gives the whole production some added spice, ‘Give Thx’ could be described as kind of a gospel song, where the French soul crooner express his gratitude for music being his saving grace.

Check out the music video for ‘Give Thx’ below. The track will form part of his upcoming debut album, ‘French Lova’, a melodic collection of hip-hop and contemporary R&B.

Song of the Day: All That Matters – Snowy

Joining forces with long-time collaborator Massappeals on production, the powerful yet dynamic instrumental on ‘All That Matters’ by Nottingham’s finest SNOWY, smacks you in the face and lets you know the GREEZE is here. First written and recorded in 2018, ‘All That Matters’ hasn’t been released until now and still sounds brand new. Snowy’s relentless flow and brash lyrics coupled with Massappeals’ energetic instrumental brings a refreshing 2021 take to the Grime genre. The duo made the record with one goal in mind – great music stands the test of time.

With the pandemic putting the brakes on the music industry at large, Snowy has kept up the momentum, continuing to release music and lending his versatility to many different genres throughout 2020. Funky House smasher ‘Honey Riddim’ with ‘Murder He Wrote’ went back in to the charts 18 months after release and the Dead Beat UK Bassline remix has been dominating dance playlists across streaming services. Drum and Bass ‘Wicked & Bad’ EP with Sam Binga, Hyroglifics and Riko Dan gained international recognition alongside a vinyl release and ‘Butterfly’ is still lighting up raves globally after its digital and vinyl release by underground pioneering label SWAMP81. During this time Snowy has also started his #STR8DROPS series including singles such as Nile Ranger, FOCUS which was featured in New Music Friday and 26 Personalities which helped raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

This sparse yet frenzied single (part of forthcoming EP release) brings Snowy back to his Grime roots and is here to show that everything else is noise, having bangers is ALL THAT MATTERS. Check this bad boy out below…

Rapper Queenie Comes Through With ‘One Thing’

A true artist in her own lane, South London rapper on-the-rise QUEENIE, slams down one slick delivery on her latest single, ‘One Thing’ once again showcases her lyrical prowess and effortless flow.

Queenie began making a name for herself on the grime scene during its grassroots stages, being known for a Female Allstars track, and her part in DVD’s like ‘Southern Hospitality’ and ‘Practice Hours’. Fellow female rapper Lioness also called on Queenie to join with five other powerful female rappers on the huge ‘DBT Remix’, that went on to gain wide spread support online and across radio. Following this, Queenie decided to give music a real chance and went on to release ‘Smoke’, ‘Laid Out’ and ‘Anymore’. Queenie featured on a track with Taliifah, entitled ‘Open Season’ and her biggest release to date ‘Letting up Now’ is still making the rounds. Right now, Queenie is focused on building her catalogue and finding her tribe of people.

On this project we see Queenie diversifying her sound and showcasing a more rhythmic style pattern, in comparison to the more grime-esque skippy flow we’ve become accustomed to hearing from her. ‘One Thing’ is a sign of great things to come from Queenie.

Look out for the her Forté EP dropping on the 21st May…but for now, wrap your ear around this….

Song Of the Day: The In Between – Favourite Daughter

FAVOURITE DAUGHTER‘s latest single, ‘The In Between’, is far cry from her previous wonderfully chaotic offering, ‘Long Distance, which chronicles losing control of your feelings.

Positioned in a guitar-led intimate setting, ‘The In Between’ is about meeting someone you really like and the cocktail of feelings encountered when taking the dating phase to the next stage – the anticipation of happiness, the anxiety of having to stay in the moment, and the fear of being vulnerable with someone new and getting hurt.

Speaking of her single, the Montreal singer-songwriter says: I wrote The In Between a few weeks after meeting my partner. I was adamantly single and had every intention to remain that way, but of course love always finds you when you’re not looking, and I found myself terrified at how quickly I was falling for her. I wanted to strip this song back to its bare essentials and make it feel as intimate as possible, so the listener feels like they’re the only person in the room.
