THE STRANGE DREAM DROP DEBUT SINGLE ‘ORANGE’

Debut single ‘Orange’ was an attempt to expand the bands mind and vission. On the writing prosess the band recall ‘We wrote the song after attending a happydaze gig at the Talleyrand im levenshulme.

In speaking about the poignant track, Jessie says: “‘How Could You’ is the most honest and vulnerable song I’ve ever released – let alone ever written. I wrote it about a traumatic experience I had about a year ago. To me this song is what making music is all about. Not only has writing and releasing this song been incredibly therapeutic for me personally, but seeing other people share their experiences, good or bad, that make this song relatable and therapeutic to them is truly the greatest gift I could ask for.”

It’s Only Me notably includes Baby’s RIAA certified Platinum hit “In A Minute,” that reached #1 at Urban & Rhythmic radio. The album release is accompanied by a new video for the standout track “California Breeze,” depicting Lil Baby cruising throughout the Golden Coast and contemplating what’s worth protecting and actualizing what relationships fulfill him most as he raps, “If you need me I’m still going to be there, I’m gonna give you every piece of game I got, when I catch you, I’m just tryna let you feel the breeze on me.”

L.A. Salami drops long-awaited new album Ottoline

A departure from his folk-led previous output, Ottoline sees L.A. Salami draw inspiration from modern titans of rap, such as Kanye West, Drake and Kendrick Lamar. A 14-track release, the LP features three tracks that have previously been released as singles. The first of which is ‘Desperate Times, Mediocre Measures’, which tackles the “cyclical and corrosive nature of power structures across our societies” and the inevitable impact that has on our day to day lives and decision-making processes. Encouraging people to build change from a place of love and positivity, rather than out of fear, it very much sets the tone for the album. The second and third singles come in the shape of ‘Systemic Pandemic’, a candid release that offers a deep glimpse into L.A. Salami’s artistic soul, and ‘Peace Of Mind’, a track that combines sombre guitars and fluttering percussion with his endearing vocals. Elsewhere, further highlights come in the form of downbeat, psychedelic jam ‘The Full Form’, the wistful twee of ‘Peace Is Fine’, and majestic strings of ‘Lady Winter’, before the melancholic sax of ‘In Honour Of The Street Lights’ ensures Ottoline is closed out on a poignant note.

As someone who auditioned for Norwegian opera as a child while at the same time being obsessed by Annie’s 2004 pop classic “Chewing Gum”, Anna takes these varied influences and turns them into her own incredible combination of acoustic and electronic music.

GRACE DAVIES RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED THIRD EP ‘IT WASN’T PERFECT, BUT WE TRIED’

It Wasn’t Perfect, But We Tried includes new single, triumphant showstopper, ‘Breathe’ – a lesson in pop mastery featuring Grace’s signature powerhouse vocal, crashing drums and a hook-driven, belter of a chorus. Of the track, Grace comments: “‘Breathe’ is about reclaiming your power. It’s about taking all the shit that’s been thrown at you and owning it/turning it into something powerful. ‘The end of where you tear me apart’ – the start of a new beginning where I don’t let you control my life anymore. I wrote it in 2017, but it’s a song I came back to 5 years later reflecting on everything I’ve been through as an independent artist, and it means even more to me now than it did when I wrote it”.

TOVE LO RELEASES FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘DIRT FEMME’ TODAY

A perfect example is her latest and most confessional single to date; ‘Grapefruit.’ Tove bravely digs into a teenage struggle highlighted with blunt lyrical recollections of “counting calories.” “Growing up, I struggled with an eating disorder,” she sighs. “However, I finally got to a place of loving my body. When I got on stage, I’d wear little clothes and flash. To me, it felt like a victory every time I felt good about myself. I did this movie in Sweden, and they asked me to lose eight pounds in two weeks. They gave me a strict diet, and it was fine. Out of nowhere, these memories popped into my head. I hadn’t thought of these experiences in so long. I was back where I never wanted to be again, but I needed to put it on paper right then. I was ready for it.”

“The well-known music pub The Wharf in Macclesfield, close to Ian Curtis’ grave, is the frequent haunt of various members (and ex-members) of Joy Division and New Order, including Peter Hook, a co-writer of the song. His beaming smile of approval as We Ghosts performed the track to an enthralled audience, inspired this recording.”

Rural Tapes releases new single ‘Waltz for the living dead’

‘Waltz for the living dead’ is a darkly curious instrumental track. It evokes the sense of a noir film score with its wide sweeping strings, warm yet cavernous brass and solemn percussion, all amongst the trippy mellotron and reverberating synths.
