Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

First up – this track is way too catchy – if you’re not disciplined enough to hold it down and keep it calm in public then I suggest you don’t play this. I’m serious. From the beginning you have a melody that hooks you, that’s sung by Colenso Abafana Benkokhelo and it’s pure fire, add …

Track Of The Day: “Rich Man” – Hapin Usuwo

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Rich Man” – Hapin Usuwo

Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene! A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading …

Track Of The Day: “Authority” – Sharon Katta

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Authority” – Sharon Katta

Sharon Katta drops a track that combines electronica with a bit of spoken word and he does it in such a way that your attention is held for the whole time it’s playing. His vocals are layered on this with harmonies and he uses them as a pad melding in with the synths… my favourite …

Track Of The Day: “We Are The People” – Oli Rockberger X Laura Mvula

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “We Are The People” – Oli Rockberger X Laura Mvula

Oli Rockberger is back with a track that’s soul stirring but then that’s on brand for him. But he’s not alone he brings along Laura Mvula for the ride too. She reduces me to a blubbery mess with “Father Father” so her contribution here already told me before I hit play that this was going to be …

Track Of The Day: “Touch By An Angel” – Maxi Priest

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Touch By An Angel” – Maxi Priest

Maxi Priest has landed with a track that goes classic in its style – you have the one drop beat, the horn section the layered harmonies, organ and electric piano rounding it out along with the guitar lick and bassline for you to groove on. This has summer written all over it and Maxi brings …

Track Of The Day: “Grippy Socks Jail” – Court Lee

updated on

This is trippy. I like trippy.  This song is not what you probably think it’s about, but if you think it’s about a hospital stay then you’re probably right. This song is very short coming in at 1:06 but within that 1 minute and six seconds we are taught about what happens in a hospital …

Track Of The Day – “Can We Make It Real?” – Manny Norte X Ayanna

updated on

This is a new one from Manny Norte and Ayanna, and it slaps. This is based around an afrobeat groove, and it’s smooth, you can tell they cooked it up for the summer because it gets you dancing immedately even if your’e not in the mood. What caught my attention was the Neo soul chord …

Congratulations on the release of Ways Of The World, how does it feel? It’s always bittersweet. I love the process of writing and seeing how the songs evolve in the studio and working with the band. But I love what came out of the sessions, and the songs remain important to me. Its origin story is quite …
