Greentea Peng – ‘Prisoners Round’
Greentea Peng is the name on everyone’s lips in the world of R&B. Fresh off the back of a landmark headline tour and appearances on the UK’s most esteemed festival stages, she makes sharp lyrical observations on her latest single. ‘Prisoners Round’ perceptively untangles the lies and deceit of modern life. The track opens with eerie, minimal bass and keys that launch into her signature soulful vocals with their artful inflections and stunning harmonies.
Melody’s Echo Chamber – ‘The House That Doesn’t Exist’
Melody Prochet’s latest single encapsulates the timelessness that has fuelled her solo psychedelic rock outlet Melody’s Echo Chamber since its inception in 2012. The lead single from fourth album ‘Unclouded’ is a glistening, shoegaze-infused track that showcases Prochet’s creative sonic experimentation. Its softness is juxtaposed by a ripping electric guitar outro that grates harshly against the grain with its muffled distortion.
SOFIA ISELLA – ‘Above The Neck’
Self-proclaimed ‘slut for words’ Sofia Isella is the whip-smart, enigmatic spoken word artist conjuring up a storm with her work that blurs the line between poetry and music. The young artist’s latest track sees her take on a hip hop-inspired cadence over a minimal, fuzzy back beat. The lyrics boldly explore two seemingly opposing forms of societal exploitation that are more intertwined than you may think: the infantilisation of women, and the adultification of children.
Becca Hannah, Ari Lachenauer – ‘Thick & Thin’
Boston-born, LA-based Becca Hannah features fellow smooth jazz vocalist Ari Lachenauer on the latest teaser from her upcoming debut album, ‘Tonight In My Dreams.’ ‘Thick & Thin’ is a feel-good track exploring romantic love and commitment in its purest form. The duet follows a simple but effective alternating structure, with the two mellow voices uniting over a brass section for a sunny choral harmony.
n0trixx, Yentl Cambre – ‘Revenge On God’
The rise to prominence has been far from conventional for metal experimentalist n0trixx. The Russian native fled her home country after being arrested for protesting against the war on Ukraine, and now resides in the UK on a Global Talent Visa. Her new single portrays the devastating impact of dementia on loved ones, oscillating eerily between loud and quiet. Trip-hop whispers explode into an unadulterated metalcore roar. The weighty string section is expertly crafted by collaborator Yentl Cambre.
