Single Review: “Away From Here” – Speech Debelle X Baby Sol
Speech Debelle just dropped a beauty of an album, “Sunday Dinner On A Monday” and one of my favourite tracks on it is this one for many reasons. The warped record playing the chords sets the tone, especially with the crackle. The beat drops in borrowing from afrobeat with the rimshot, kick and shakers. It’s …
Blog interview: Ellis Evason
Hello, Ellis, how are you? I’m good, man! Busy but all good. Congratulations on the release of “Lipstick.” How does it feel? Thank you, It’s been a pretty crazy week or so. It’s nice to have so many people resonating with it. It’s surreal for me as well that it’s a track with Ezra Bell. …

Blog interview: King Darius The Great
Congratulations on the release of “Self Love (Re-Up)” how does it feel? It feels absolutely amazing. It feels like the equivalent of being suffocated then being allowed to breathe again. The installation of R&B singer/actress Hayzell B, is nothing short of a wonderful gift from the universe, as she totally exceeded expectations with her …

Single Review: “Bluff” – Morena Santi and D’Larm
This tune… Morena comes out all cylinders firing with a fine vocal over drums made up 808 sounds, and analogue synth parts. This is the kind of tune you can easily get down to. Morena delivers a playful vocal, which sits right on top of the instrumental, and you can tell she had fun while …
Single Review: “Home” – NX Panther & Jay Johnson
This is a great slice of hip hop from London rapper NX Panther, she mixes chilled strings and drums with a rap and some singing, this is easy to get into. The strings at the beginning are padded out nicely I imagine there’s some phasing on that, to make it even more rounder in sound. …
Single Review: “Voices Of Jericho” – Survibers ft. Aniff Akinola
Survibers are back and they’ve deployed a true wordsmith in Aniff Akinola. He’s given a fantastic backdrop of slap bass which slips between that and a squelchy synth bass, over a chilled out hip hop beat with a synth pad playing some dark progressions. The vocals are ethereal, Katrina has switched gears here as she’s …
Single Review: “Patience” – JFlames ft. Amethyst
JFlames is back with a smooth retro soul track! And he’s brought with him a singer that delivers the goods! Amethyst is the star here, bringing a vocal that’s so warm to the ear, and boy can she harmonise. JFlames has given her a lush blanket of a beat to wrap her vocals around. The …
