Falcon Jane (Darling Recordings-signed, GoldFlakePaint-tipped, RIYL Faye Webster, Fenne Lily) – Shares New Single
The new music – although maintaining some of those charming melodies and shimmering soundscapes that were presented on her GoldFlakePaint and Grey Estates-tipped debut, Feelin’ Freaky – turns towards the darkness for inspiration just as much as it does the light. The new record arrives as a deeply personal and touching collection of music from May, written throughout the opening months of 2019, a year that sadly marked a lot of death in Sara’s immediate family with her losing both her grandmothers, an uncle, and great uncle all within the space of just under twelve months – attending a funeral approximately every two months gave Sara a heartbreaking insight into memory, grief, loss and the fragility of life.

Album: Kosha Dillz – Nobody Cares Except You
Kosha Dillz’ 2020 album has been in creation since 2018. The 14 song album is produced in majority by Sam Barsh and 16-year-old Snowball Beats, but also includes 3 songs with #1 hitmaker Jeremiah Raisen aka Sad Pony, and a guest track from Kool Kojak. The ironic title was based on his self-realization that being self-seeking will never fulfill him entirely. Dillz’ album clashes with the struggle of Nobody Cares vs. Nobody Cares Except You; a concept that can only be achieved with time, and something he has been exploring with the hope of developing a better relationship with his fans. Originally scheduled to be released in April on tour with RDGLDGRN and Little Stranger, COVID19 caused a huge burden in his plans including the canceling of a 28 city tour and multiple festival appearances.
