Adam Ford is head over hesitation in his latest cocktail of rhythmically toxic RnB, She Wants to Love

Adam Ford

Subversively leaning on the phenomenon that we all want what we can’t have, Adam Ford released an irresistible rendition of hot and heavy RnB with his latest single, She Wants to Love.

The Floridian up-and-coming icon has been on the airwaves with the candourous expositions of his life experiences since 2017; he has moved from strength to strength by orchestrating his discography, and now he’s proving he has what it takes to be the heavy weight of commercial potential.

At some point in all our lives, we’ve felt the chokehold grip of hesitation when someone lays it all on the line while baring their soul; She Wants to Love is a seductive vignette of that very same turmoil. It may not be your average love song, but it is all the more raw and real for it.

With the alchemic cocktail of melodic mesmerism, vocal lines that border on the celestial, and fervent lyrical themes which flash a warning signal of indecision and incompatibility, She Wants to Love could never have known any other creator.

“She Wants to Love was inspired by a recent relationship with someone ready to dedicate her life to me; in my mind, I wasn’t the perfect match for what she needed. This song came from a real place, even though, at this moment, I can’t give her what she wants; I know it won’t always be like that. I just hope I’m not too late when I’m ready.”

She Wants to Love will be available to stream on all major platforms from May 26. Check it out via this link & follow Adam Ford on Instagram.

The Freaky Friday Jailhouse Gang filled groove pockets with raucous rock licks in ‘Benign Lion’

As you can probably gather from their moniker, The Freaky Friday Jailhouse Gang is far from your average RnB ensemble. Their seminal single, Benign Lion, is a riot of funk and foot-stompin flavour, driven by the fiery vocal lines of Lorena Valta.

Valta knows just how to instil raucous rock elements into the groove pockets that are deep enough to leave the Grand Canyon green with cavernous envy. Adding to the eccentricity of the Austrian outfit are the layers of blues, which pay homage to the roots before embedding them in an amalgam that could only have been alchemised by The Freaky Friday Jailhouse Gang.

The serious superlative talent is one thing, but the evident fact that the powerhouse, which has kept the cogs turning since the early 2010s, doesn’t take themselves too seriously is quite another. There’s an undeniable sense that the Gang benefit from their feel-good euphonics as much as their fans.

Benign Lion is now available to stream on Spotify.

UK songstress, fii, cut constricting ties in her empowerment-advocating debut, Goodbye

https://soundcloud.com/fiithecuratorr/goodbye-explicit-mp3/s-6g7bvK15PRA?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&si=C54F5D0844644717B6B8B68311C6FB25&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Fans of Kehlani, Teyana Taylor, and SZA will want to prick their ears up to the empoweringly assuring debut single, Goodbye, from the Milton-Keynes singer-songwriter, fii, who fuses RnB & pop elements across the eras to speak to every generation with her introspective gold lyricality and hook-rife melodies.

The strength in Goodbye is gorgeously multifaceted; the sultry smooth rhythmics and stellar production melded with her soulfully convicting vocal presence affirmed that she’s one to watch. The UK RnB scene is infinitely richer for her elevated contribution.

The lyric “I might get lonely in December but right now I’m better than ever” is a testament to how raw and heartfelt the release is despite the infectious testament that you’re always better off missing the person who an ex pretended to be in the beginning than trying to re-manifest a person who never truly existed.

“Goodbye is inspired by the feeling of relief and freedom after a toxic relationship has ended. I wrote it to encourage myself to get over someone; music was the most cathartic way of dealing with all the confusing feelings. I want my fans to hear it and think, yeah, I’m not scared to say goodbye to a situation that isn’t serving me either.”

Goodbye will hit the airwaves on May 19; catch it on SoundCloud.
