J Rick shares mixtape inspired by his late uncle, British boxer Errol Christie
Speaking on the mixtape, J Rick said: “This record means a lot to me; its my first solo project release and is a commemoration of my uncle Errol Christie who died in June 2017. He was a big inspiration to me. I just wanted to express how I was feeling about the situation at the time and see what the music turned out like. It was a reflection of me at the time but people will take from it what they can relate to. It’s mad important for me to put out my own project cause I was working on this before I even started working with other people. On my own music, it takes longer to complete and I basically completed a whole other tape before scrapping it. I think producers don’t get what they deserve and if they wanna do something for themselves, they depend on artists to help them. I wanna change that.”

Mika’s New Album My Name Is Michael Holbrook Out Now Via Republic, Video For “Sanremo” Debuts Today
“This album has been a rich and intense journey. Inspired by life in all its glory and all its dark challenges. It’s also inspired by love. Starting with an idea that was born in a cemetery in Savannah Georgia and ending the writing in a 650 yr old farm house in Italy. My intention was to write about life as it happened. A sort of album made in ‘real time,’” MIKA says. “It’s an explosion of joy, colour and emotion even though it was born in one of the most challenging periods for my family and I. Writing and recording this album was a form of medicine for me and my family. It is so deeply personal but also universal. I have come to realize that the only thing that matters in life are the people we love and the stories we tell. This album is dedicated to those people I love and to the notion that although we all hopefully grow with age, we should do so without losing our colors, our warmth or whimsy. I hope my “Tiny Love” stories somehow touch you or transport you, even just for an instant.”

The Australian sensation Tones And I single Dance Monkey out via Parlophone takes this week’s top spot on the Official UK Singles Chart, marking the end of a nine-week climb up the Top 100.

As much change as we all hope to find to better the world, we have to accept that history has painted the path before us. Whether we choose to take the chance to follow the same course, or correct and make it more than it will ever be. In the end, no matter what foot you put forward there is only so much time before every reflection fades away. When yours fades, what impact will you leave?”
