Maria Neckam’s new single “Happier” + Skope
“Happier” is about hitting that all-important reset button on life. Sometimes it’s unexpected heartbreak that sends one careening through a smorgasbord of emotions, which is exactly what happened to Neckam and inspired The Leap… after being forced to contend with a new life, she bravely picked up the pieces and has now reemerged with a colorful, playful and altogether moving new album. Throughout, she carves out lush compositions that touch on desire, joy, sadness, anger, hope and contentment. Neckam is a master of turning the emotional, psychological screws in a way that’s magnificently visceral, and supercharged with universal truths.

New > Video > Bermudian Singer Bassette > ‘She Bad’ > Out Today > watch here
‘She Bad’ is the new single by transatlantic singer-songwriter Bassette, released on 2nd August. A dark and bass-laden track, ‘She Bad’ is uplifted by Bassette’s delicate yet raspy R&B vocals, and accompanied by vibrant visuals, directed by Central St Martin graduates, creative duo Fon And Fa, which PAPER premiered exclusively today.
At only 24 years old, Bassette has already lived in three very different countries. Born in Bermuda, Bassette and her family relocated to Scotland, a world away from the big, colourful houses of Bermuda and the generations of her family who continue there, before moving to Sheffield and finally settling in London a few years ago.

“Much like their work in Doomtree, Sims, P.O.S, Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger appear to have a knack for knocking out banger after banger. “Vanilla ISIS” is no exception.”
– HipHopDX
“The group has been fairly quiet since 2017’s Dangerous Jumps, but are poised for a boisterous return in 2019 if their new single ‘Ayeyayaya’ is any indication.”
– The 405

JOHAN LENOX DROPS EVERYBODY’S COOL BUT ME 5-SONG EP TODAY
Multi-talented award-winning singer, songwriter, classical composer, string arranger, and producer Johan Lenox brings his panoply of musical gifts with the release today of his anticipated 5-song EP, everybody’s cool but me including the unreleased track and video for “Pretender.” “The EP is about my experience being a kid in the suburbs of New England,” Johan explains. “I miss the carefree high school years, the aimless neighborhood wandering, and partying in garages. At the same time, we’re clinging to youth because we know that our future has been sold out by previous generations. I channel these feelings in my lyrics and in how I produce the songs, using only classical orchestra sounds except for the drums and vocals.”
Two Music Veterans Turn To The ‘Dark Side Of Pop’ With Controversial Release
Vix20 are Gary Mills and CJ, two music industry veterans who grew so disillusioned with the state of every element of the music industry that they threw their guitars out of the window and sulked for a few years. Now rejuvenated, though no less prickly about the Modern Age, they return, to quote the band themselves, “we’re hard rockers turned to the dark side of pop”. As evidenced on their previous single, Digital Age, their passion for power pop (don’t say ‘punk pop’ to them, it suggests too much jumping around) and dexterity with words combines to become insanely catchy 3-minute thunderbolts. Their double A-side Hashtag Change/Me Gwanishi pushes the envelope even further with the glorious cut-up tones of Donald Trump delivering a love letter to his beloved Melania. Lawyers be damned!
KITTEN RELEASES NEW TRACK AND VIDEO “MEMPHIS”
