New Music Video: Oxygen – Nicky Davey

Nicky Davey Oxygen

Nick Green and Dave Rosser officially formed the soulful project NICKY DAVEY in 2011. They started out just making records together under various aliases until they carved a sound they could truly call their own.

Constantly striving to reinvent the modern pop song, they were given the opportunity to work closely with Odd Future affiliates, The Internet. Lead Singer Nick Green’s vocal production on The Internet’s Ego Death helped earn it a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Back in February, Nicky Davey were the only duo unsigned to a major label to be featured on the NOW 57 compilation.

Oxygen is an infectious and sensual slow jam layered with Nick Green’s soulful vocals. Written with long time collaborator and friend Syd Tha Kyd (The Internet) the song is about the first stages of love, Nick adds: ‘I wanted to be honest to myself and others about the way I felt. I feel like as songwriters we all write songs in some shape or form about our love interest/inspiration’. Directed by Dan Stowell and Rich Yodsukar, the black-and-white visuals emphasize the raw feel of the song.

Oxygen is the first single taken from their upcoming album XXX set to be released later this year.

 

Song of the Day: Delroy Lindo – Forebear

forebear Delroy

One of NEW LEASE MUSIC’s hot favourites FOREBEAR makes an appearance for the first time this year, but a tad more broody and darker than usual.

Their latest single, Delroy Lindo ( in the words of  frontman Scott Goldbaum) tells a story of two people moving to the West Coast to be together only to have the illusion of what they thought waited for them be eaten alive by their false romanticism.

Delroy Lindo is the lead single from their highly anticipated album, Good God, set for release on 26th August. For now, have a listen.

New Tracks: Formation & Body Party – King Dice O

King dice o and gang

With fellow Owl Life Entertainment recruits (pictured), KING DICE O comes double the force with TWO out-of-sight-tracks.

Intrigued? Well start off with Formation. This four-minute banger displays the street poet and the gang hard at work – and at their very best. The rhythmic ‘gong’ with an intermittent electronic drive is finished off with on-point wordpay from each member. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)

With an after hours groove coupled with chocolate-smooth delivery to match Body Part is the type of track is definitely for the bedroom department (use your imagination!)

If these releases tick all the boxes, it’s well worth checking out KING DICE O‘s latest mixtape, The Life Vol.2: The Quiet Storm right here.
