Rapper Southpaw rips through the 9-5 life on ‘Grindin’

Posted on 18 August 2020

South Florida/Tallahassee rapper Southpaw is back with his new track called ‘Grindin‘.

‘Grindin‘ from Southpaw is a real-life journey about working the 9-5 life and wanting to do the best you can each day to do what you do. The lure of being a full time musician is always there but you know that you need to stay in the job the pay the bills right now. The struggles are real but you know that this is only a part of the whole journey of life.

I love the rap skills from the South Florida rapper who has a unique style and this video is a such a great listen. Southpaw punches in with ‘Grindin‘. Anyone working from home now will relate to this video and I like the real look into the life with cereal and working on the roof. This is a fun track that shows this new rapper making his move in the game.

Worldy dreamy pop stardust from Stevie Bull’s incredible ‘Hotel’

Posted on 17 August 2020

Stevie Bill is a new name is the music scene and she kicks down the door with the excellent ‘Hotel‘.

From Amsterdam to NYC, Stevie Bill’s journey eventually needed her own stories. That time is now and this is a singer with an elegant voice that is so silky and smooth, you could listen to Stevie sing all day and night. This girl can sing and brings her kind authenticity with her.

Born to an English mother and a Dutch father, she moved to buzzing Berlin after her 17th birthday and she soon found herself working in studio’s and writing songs for other artists. While in Berlin, Stevie applied to the prestigious Clive Davis Institute at NYU, New York. She was accepted and moved there in September, at age 19. In New York, Stevie has been working on her project 24/7, collaborating with the writers and producers she met in Amsterdam, Berlin and New York during the last couple of years. Stevie wants her music to be relatable to her peers, telling stories about ambition, self-doubt, friendships and living in a dorm room with strangers.

You feelings cool down and things end too quickly. A few hours before it was all sunsets and clean sheets. The night was young and the hotel was amazing. It was just you two, open windows, kissing but then you start to disagree on silly things. The love was strong and you were falling upwards in love but now its the the complete opposite. Falling downwards but then you realize you are just reminiscing. You are happy now and are with the love of your life, strolling on the beach and looking at the stars.

Stevie Bill is a fantastic singer and I love this debut track. From singing covers, she is showing the world her creativity and she takes full charge here. This is an artist who is getting to know herself and her music reflects her growing maturity.

Glasgow’s Playfio’s space odyssey journey on ‘Nameless Man’

Posted on 13 August 2020

‘Nameless Man‘ features on ‘Arcadian Resonance‘, and is the second studio album from Scottish band Playfio. They return with this spacey song with real heart that will have you watching all the way through.

‘Nameless Man‘, was ironically almost left off this album. After been given a second chance once Claude Etienne had worked his magic on the guitar, it’s inclusion was suddenly at the top of the list. Written by Rob Playford with Claude Etienne on guitar and the mix and master engineer was Adam Titmuss.

The album artwork, with it’s nod to the first album and Rob’s late Grandfather’s 1940’s Dance band Arcadia is artistically finessed by the fantastic film craft of Adam Stern. This is a band that take their time to make everything sound and look 100%.

‘Nameless Man‘ from Scottish band Playfio is like a soundtrack to a movie. The story of someone doing so much but ultimate nameless in the bigger scheme of things. Just like real life.

Posted on 12 August 2020

Upcoming Lo-fi producer mahan. is back with a fantastic video that captures life in ‘Wooden Spoon‘.

mahan. drops a star gazing beat that has me smiling from ear to ear. This is exactly what the day needed from overthinking and needing a boost. This is exactly the tonic as the beat dazzles your soul and your ears feel like they are sliding around in a water park.

From witnessing a fire near to his house, we are then kick-flipped to a skate park with lots of tricks, 420 and real life. This is the way on the street, you have to be tough otherwise you get swallowed up. This is all about getting the wooden spoon and not the gold one. That’s okay too, it’s all about making your own journey and living your dreams.

mahan’s ‘Wooden Spoon‘ is a song you send to your friends and that is what makes it so great. The earthy feel and authentic style is what we should all crave.

You swear that this is the last time you get hurt from a relationship and then it happens again. You are now in a trap and just have to get out.

‘Hurricane Bride’ from Lyn Avenue is a story of a wedding that was like no other

Posted on 7 August 2020

Lyn Avenue gets us dancing with their brand new story here with their country song called ‘Hurricane Bride‘.

Imagine having your wedding on a hurricane-filled day? This is the starting point from this quality duo from Savannah, Georgia. The stupendous vocal ability is for all to see from Cc and the guitar output from Patrick morphs this act into a high level.

I love the story of a wedding that turned into something movie-like. You are about to get married and then a hurricane hits. What is left to do? Drinking moonshine and dancing the night way for one. The country-fused indie style is a pleasure to listen to and I find myself getting lost in the music.

‘Hurricane Bride‘ from Lyn Avenue is an abundance of joy from a sad situation. This is the best way to deal with any issues. Take the positive spin from the tracks and spin them to your way.

Posted on 31 July 2020

Bombzr are a 6 Piece Jazzy-soul Instrumental group from New York City who choose not to use vocals. They are back with their new song that is called ”Epic”.

”Epic” is a journey of fun with our senses. The jazzy infusion is like having a fruity smoothie on a boiling hot summer’s day. Your body feels fresh and ready to take on anything. This NYC group take us back to the old school days on this one and I love the instrumental variety that is in Bombzr’s music arsenal.

Dublin’s Robert O’Connor brings Skynem GT for real message on ”Over”

Posted on 30 July 2020

The Dublin-born singer-songwriter Robert O’Connor is back with Skynem GT on ”Over” (Before It’s Begun). This is a house beat with smooth vocals from the Irish singer.

This is about the age old question of if you are a true match. You want to be enough for someone but they have to feel the same for you. Otherwise this won’t work at all. This is happening now and this is a good thing. You need to know that this is going to be worthwhile or things could be worse later down the road.

After a five year absence from the music scene, Robert worked as a journalist and social media manager during this period. This shows how much he missed creating as you can tell on this video that he really enjoys it again and is fully back from his hiatus.

Robert O’Connor’s ”Over” is a fab track with great vocals and an earthy beat that is a tremendous listen.
