All my features, reviews, opinion pieces, and artist profiles in one place (the punctuation isn't perfect but the passion is!)
‘Daughter’, allows Beyoncé to flex those classically trained pipes as she delivers a moving interpolation of ‘Cario Mio Ben’ in fluent Italian, a song renowned by opera singers worldwide who recite it to train their vocal cords....
Fresh off her final stint on ‘Top Boy’ with the welcome reprisal of her much loved character ‘Mandy’ featured in series 2 and 3 on Netflix, or series 2, 4, and 5 if you’ve been riding with ‘Top Boy’ since channel 4 days, Nolay drops single...
...before we all crack on with our lockdown free 2022’s, so without further ado, sip on my perfectly brewed mulled wine of belated musical highlights of 2021, and let them warm your tune buds deep into 2022!
Chrom3, who is a two-time collaborator of Dizzee Rascal, most notably on the no.1 smash ‘Holiday’; comes with a timely track addressing the rising levels of knife crime in London and throughout the UK. (Manchester is still reeling of a report this week, of a 20 year old woman fleeing the 5 star Hilton hotel with a 3… Continue reading Chrom3 *NEW VIDEO* ‘Pride’
Ms. Banks shows her versatility, when she sings sweetly on the bittersweet R&B ballad ‘Over (Your shit)’ about a guy she gave her time to and she’s now had enough of his games asking him “How many bitches do you need?” listening to this I couldn’t help but think it’s possible that Nicki Minaj sees her own skills reflected in Ms. Banks
The Coventry couple on and off record, have applied this formula to their single 'Frontin' and it's a winner. Whizzy's lyrics are honest and mature for his young years; as he shares that his focus is on "Makin' bangers with my family"; but he is fully aware of the trolls surrounding him who won't want him to succeed, to which he contests "Gotta stay hard hittin', viking." You can't help but wonder just what it is this young artist has experienced when he wearily claims, "19 soon life's drawing to an end, brother I ain't lyin.'" hopefully it won't be long before an EP release which will expand upon these themes,
The ‘Heavy Trackerz’ did right to call their concept album ‘Odyssey’ as it really does take you on an otherworldly journey of the sonic stratosphere and beyond which would explain the space suits on the album cover. The trackerz with the tekkerz explore many tuneful terrains in their exploration through song and space visiting Grime on ‘Rude boy flex’ ft. Ghetts, reggae on ‘Survivor’ ft. Doctor, Inch of section boyz and Joe Grind, Gospel on the choir assisted ‘Feel the love’, RnB/Dance on ‘Days like This’ complete with the gorgeously feminine allure of Tizzy’s vocals. We even have a foray into the UKG arena with a reworking of the singalong garage classic ‘Sorry’ and fresh vocals from original singer Monsta boy. We are treated to a frustrated but brilliant Manga Saint Hilaire airing his ...
The unorthodox daughter of Grime and boss bish in general NoLay drops her third video from her phenomenal debut album ‘This Woman (Live)’ which is packed full of bad gyal riddims and honest antidotes, detailing thirsty men and the expectations sometimes thrust upon women, her rightful place at the top of Grime’s throne alongside the mandem and...
The above is how Tyler the creator’s abstract fifth album ‘Scum f*ck / flower boy’ plays out. Tyler has created a beautiful body of work full of lazy summer days spent barefoot meandering aimlessly through lush filled sprawling fields that are post card pretty in a place where time stands still...
Hot off the heels of her mesmeric single ‘Pressure’ featuring Manny rapper Big Boy Eazi, Manchester's PERiiSU returns with her debut four track EP ‘Metamorphic’ and that is exactly what she does on all four tracks of the futuristic, sci fi sonic quadrant of space age sounds...
