Julia Thomsen Releases ‘Beauty Inside And Out’

Words By Ava Jordan.

Neo-classical is a genre which I am not hugely familiar. However, I know a potent composition when I hear one, and the new release ‘Beauty Inside And Out’ by Julia Thomsen is mesmerising.

Kicking off with a piano melody, Julia instantly gets us reaching for the tissues with its sincere emotion. The piece grows as it advances with a medley of new tones popping to the forefront with a synthesiser hook captivating as it reaches for the culmination.

‘Beauty Inside And Out’ provides plenty of gravitas, and its solemn vibe paradoxically gets the feel-good emotions soaring. Also, the empowering build-up is awe-inspiring. You can take a listen to ‘Beauty Inside And Out’ by Julia Thomsen below.

Le Fil Drops Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Words By Ava Jordan.

Le Fil returns with a red hot pop track ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is’.

The singer who only recently released ‘Undercover Lover’ hits the sweet spot on this track. It follows a similar vibe to his last number, but it comes in an even more potent fashion. Kicking off the record is an infectous drum hit which captivates from the second it plays. We are then with an unforgettable vocal performance from the London based artist who sings with his heart fastened to his sleeve.

As the track progresses, we hear an elective range of sounds popping into the mix. There is a killer piano lead sitting in the background which reminds me slightly of ‘Elton John’, but yet it stays true to Le Fil, and he proves his distinction with an undeniably catchy chorus.

Near Death Experience To Release ‘Moves’

Words By Ava Jordan.

Near Death Experience do not mess around. They are back following their previous release ‘Conquer’, and they accelerate even faster towards rock stardom.

The group takes influence from a variety of places, and they are ready for the release of one of their biggest rock tracks to date. It is not often that a follow up single comes quite as potent as this one, and I can only help but feel myself gravitating even closer to them with each release.

‘Moves’ is a mover. Vocalist ‘Ian’ talks about a woman who moves him, well the group move me here. So much so, my soles hurt from the constant foot-tapping trance I found myself in. Vocally, top draw, musically, fascinating with a bluesy guitar taking the lead and a rhythm beat and bassline which straps us in firmly.

The track is hitting all the stores on 14th August. You can take a listen to a preview below and also pre-save by clicking here.

It is a song which has a striking melody line which cements itself deep. So much so, the hook sticks like chewy on the bottom of a boot. Kicking off is a firm clap beat which gets the foot-tapping instantly. A divine guitar rhythm also strums out and leads us into the perfect vocal from Katie.

Katie sings about being alone and it provides heaps of sentiment. You can take a listen to ‘Catch Me’ by Katie Veltri below.

East London female hip hop star Tanaka Makoni mesmerises with her new release ‘Lust’. So much so, I cannot get enough.

Once we are out of the intro, Tanaka Makoni greets us with an unforgettable vocal performance with her singing with her heart firmly on her sleeve. She sings with genuine confidence, and it is hard not to get onto her wavelength with her infectious charm shining through like a beacon.

Victoria Moralez Releases ‘Eyes Off The Prize’

Words by Max Jordon.

Victoria Moralez is a new name to me. I was not aware of her discography before listening to this track, and I am still wondering why I have not come across her sooner. She has a sound which shines like a beacon, and she stands out truly on her own with her mesmerising quality.

Taking us on a journey from the get-go, ‘Eyes Off The Prize’ is a pop gem which ignites the pop flame more profoundly. She takes an innovative approach with her music, and it makes for a refreshing listen. For me, the vocals are flying high with Victoria hitting all the right notes tremendously well.

The highlight in the track is the chorus which truly cements itself deep. It has a contemporary feel but yet also provides a lot of nostalgia from yesteryear for good measure. Overall, it is a top-class performance which I will be keeping close for quite some time.

The Hassan Assassin Set To Release ‘Come Over’

The Hassan Assassin is set to drop his latest single ‘Come Over’. It is a bright track with bold lyricism and a hip hop beat which cements itself deep.

I could not help but get onto the rappers wavelength here on this track. Hassan sings with confidence which is hard to fault and his ability to articulate well resonates with each word hitting home.

The music grips too and he blends contemporary hooks with a nostalgic vibe giving the track plenty of new flavour while also taking the best from yesteryear. Also, it is refreshing to see a hip hop artist delve genuinely into his own space carving a unique sound of his own.

Overall, it is one of the most beautiful hip hop tracks to come out in recent months. As a result, there is just about something for everybody here.

Lime Juice Unleash ‘Quietude’

Lime Juice are back. Their new track ‘Quietude’ comes bigger and bolder than ever before with a melody which will get even your grandpa tapping his foot.

Cleverly, the band combine a contemporary indie sound with good old nostalgia making the mix too for good measure. The track kicks off with a sublime rhythm guitar strumming away, and a steady drum hit. Vocally the singer then greets us with open arms. Taking us on an adventure, the group get their message across very well, and it is difficult not to find yourself gripping onto the record for dear life.

The track builds, and before we know it, we are in with all guns blazing with a chorus which could fill a stadium twice over. But, the excitement does not stop there. Lime Juice shrewdly introduce new sounds into the mix with a guitar lead appearing sharper than serpents tooth.

Tali Shear has today dropped her latest single ‘Fool’. The artist who comes with plenty of talent really shines on this piece. She takes us on an emotional journey with sentimental value.

‘Fool’ kicks off with a deep and bold piano intro before Tali opens with one heck of a strong vocal performance. She has taken influence from the greats but yet crafts some genuinely unique to herself too. For me, the vocals are up their with the best and they are by far the best I have heard in recent times.

Overall, the track has a lot to offer, and the emotion can almost be touched with Tali piercing her way through with robust lyricism. You can check out ‘Fool’ by Tali Shear below.
