Riva Taylor, One Of This Country’s Outstanding Talents, Chats With EP About ‘This Woman’s Heart.2’, An Accomplished Work That Reveals Her Personal Growth As An Artist And Gently Explores Grief, Love, And Female Empowerment.

June 22, 2021

Riva Taylor, an outstanding artist we chatted with at the beginning of lockdown when she released ‘This Woman’s Heart.1’, is back with the second part of the release. The first part garnered praise from Sir Elton John and Pete Tong on its release and was created as an album which was a statement of confusion, heartbreak and loss. ‘This Woman’s Heart.2’ according to the artist “makes peace with a past and looks towards a bright future”. This new album includes ‘If I Could Ever Stop loving You’ which has found success on BBC Radio 1, ‘Magic’ which has been produced by Celeste producer Jakwob and ‘Woman’, my personal favourite, which is accompanied by a quite stunning video. I was lucky enough to chat with Riva about the album, released in May.

‘Til The Break Of Don’, the title track of Lalo The Don’s upcoming album, is accompanied by one of two videos filmed with pro-wrestler Hana Kimura, who sadly took her own life last year. Lalo The Don and Hana were fans of each other’s work and also friends; Lalo, now a rap artist, was previously a wrestler. Lalo shares top bill with Kimura, in the video for ‘Til The Break Of Don’, a colourful sci-fi clip that will serve as a panacea for her fans and everyone else who misses her.

Keary Kase – ‘Remember The Time’

June 18, 2021

‘Remember The Time’ starts with a vividly rendered flashback, and finishes with a beautifully written verse about the forces that pull good friends apart. Matching his lyrical talents to music that amplifies its intensity and its cinematic quality, the track is enhanced by resonant kick drums, gunshot cracking snares, an ethereally haunting synthesizer, and echoing electric guitars. The production are top notch, only fitting for such an extraordinary artist.
