The rhythms rolled hot and heavy in PRES3T’s latest pop hit, Love Me Like That

Posted on 16 May 2024

Love Me Like That is the latest hot and heavy pop hit from the up-and-coming visionary, PRES3T, who has been working his way through the industry ranks from a young age and now has a safe foothold to serve as a platform for his stylistically rich rap-adjacent hits.

The solid backbeat kicks intently through the moody atmosphere of the modernised wavy-with-reverb production that throws back to 90s pop aesthetics while simultaneously envisioning the future of the pop genre. If you couldn’t get enough of the taste of Ed Sheeran’s Are You Entertained or Lil Nas X’s DON’T WANT IT, you’ll be obsessed with the flavour in Love Me Like That.

Thailand-born singer, songwriter, recording artist and producer PRES3T delivered his debut LP from his home studio at the age of 16 before receiving national radio airplay and attending the Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Before working on his new material, which is steadily waterfalling onto the airwaves, PRES3T cut his teeth working on projects with tens of millions of streams on Spotify alone. We have no doubt he has exactly what it takes to achieve the same in his solo career.

Tana & Ava Like Lava are in vogue in their rap track Supermodel

Posted on 21 May 2022

After being championed by the likes of Sean Kingston, the revolutionary pop-rap originator, Tana is here with one of the hottest hip hop collabs of the year, Supermodel, featuring the South Africa-hailing artist Ava Like Lava.

With grooves and licks that are just as sultry as the honeyed vocals that know the perfect place to throw a little attitude, nothing about Supermodel feels superficial. It drips empowered decadence in a way that could put Grimes to shame.

Ironically, Supermodel is one of the most aurally aesthetic hip hop tracks to land on our radar in 2022. We can’t wait to hear what comes next from the Sony-signed and BBC Introducing lauded queer artist that is bringing swathes of style, culture, and attitude to the airwaves.

Supermodel is now available to stream on Spotify.

Any fans of Lords of Acid will undoubtedly want to delve into the salaciously spiritual latest single from Kyron Rizzo. With the jazzy horn stabs around the rattle of the 808s and the beguile in Rizzo’s smooth yet fierce RnB rap vocals, High Priestess Pu$$y is as seductive as it is darkly alluring.

In their own words, the single is “for the Hot Girlz & Tarot Reading Hoez not afraid to WIND, TWIST, & POP their shit: in the club, car, kitchen, or shower.” The Avant-Garde work may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for anyone that likes their aural poison a little stronger and steeped in edgy magnetism, it will have all the makings of a playlist staple.

High Priestess Pu$$y will officially release on April 15th. You can check it out for yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud.

Special summer days: Ohio brothers Midge Robie light up those unforgettable memories on ‘Your Friend’s Tattoo’

Posted on 21 March 2021

Alluringly flicking their hair around whilst remembering those sweet summer moments, Midge Robie impress highly with their brand new ink-filled single called ‘Your Friend’s Tattoo‘.

Midge Robie are a film noir-lovin’ pop-rap and pop-punk brother duo from Ohio in the USA. They formulate that true-life story music about love, life and working out what they want to really be in this wild wild west kinda world.

Their voices strikingly illuminate off the dusty ground, as they subtly open the creaking door to what those exciting holidays are supposed to be about. They confidently throw in some real facts about having a joyful blaze-filled time, while never forgetting about that fascinating tattoo too, as they miss that soul who made them feel alive inside.

They posses that rare ability to capture your attention quickly through their raw style, the pop/rap/punk fusion is a tremendous listen and you gaze lustfully outside, waiting impatiently for those boiling hot days again so you can go and meet your future lover somewhere outside, away from the dull lockdown life that we are all-too familiar with.

‘Your Friend’s Tattoo‘ from the likable Ohio brothers Midge Robie, is a fun ride in the backseat of the car while summer vacation is on, hot-boxin’ with your crush, whilst thinking memorably about those fun times that you wished would never end.

See their gripping music video on YouTube and find out more about their rise up on IG.
