New Release: I’m Afraid – Cody Pennington
Listen to this STUNNING new single from Nashville native alternative folk rocker CODY PENNINGTON. The single is coming from his five-track and (I must say) very stylish EP, To Be Me released in August.
Now residing in Suffolk, the singer/songwriter was nominated for NMG award for Best Male Solo Artist of 2014…I predict he will scoop the award in the very near future. Go on, have a listen.
If you’re captivated by the guy’s soul-baring raw vocals, To Be Me EP is available on iTunes and Amazon.
Mixtape Review: I Just Wanna Be Heard Vol.2 – Kwame Katana
Now I’m going to be real honest here…when I first clapped my eyes on the album cover, I did a massive internal eye roll, thinking it’s just another rapper wanting some sweet booty and all the cars and gold in the world. But it was my duty, as an independent music writer, to give it a trial…
…So I pressed play and I had to shut my month. As I listen to the mixtape, I quickly realise KWAME KATANA is just a young guy who is going through some personal struggles as well as finding his way to be a successful rapper.
The lyrics of hurt, love and sheer determination, is perfectly complemented by out-of-this world bassline that make you sit up and take note (I mean REALLY take note). The 20-track production gets better with on-point samples from mainly 90s R&B class acts such as SWV, JOHNNY GILL, LAURYN HILL and JADE.
Well after listening to I Just Wanna Be Heard, I (re)learned a valuable lesson…never judge a book (or in this case a mixtape) by its cover.
Listen to I Just Wanna Be Hard Vol.2 mixtape right here.
