Demola – ‘Light Up’ f/ Wande Coal

April 13, 2019

Nigerian artist Demola isn’t afraid to do things differently and to mix it up when it comes to his music. Although his usual style is Afrobeat, for his latest single, ‘Light Up’, the unmistakeable sound of a violin turns up mere seconds into the track. It shouldn’t work: the rhythm is a full on bounce, buoyant and packed full of sunshine; the violin is breezy, and cool – like a walk through a forest. It shouldn’t work – but somehow – it does.

Ferris & Sylvester Release Soulful New Single ‘Flying Visit’ As Well As Record Store Day Flame Red 12″

April 12, 2019

Ferris & Sylvester have released their brand new single ‘Flying Visit’. The soulful love song finds the pair baring their hearts and pleading for the other to stay through their raw vocal delivery.

Exclusive Interview With Sasha Siem

We caught up with Sasha to talk about her music, inspiration, and how becoming a mother changed her as a woman and as an artist.
