South London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Verse Vicer unveils his latest musical creation, the compelling single titled “Running”. This dynamic track, characterised by its dark, introspective and motivating vibe, blends elements of funk, neo-soul and jazz, reflecting the diverse influences that shape Verse Vicer‘s unique sound.
As a chameleonic artist, Verse Vicer draws inspiration from the ever-changing landscape of his own life, embracing regular inversions and adaptation to the opposite – a concept embodied by his moniker. His music serves as a vehicle for making sense of the constant flux and the feeling of playing catch-up with oneself.
When Island Records announced that Amy Winehouse was going to release her second album of songs, Back To Black, a frisson of feverish anticipation gripped those who had been following the 23-year-old’s career. Winehouse’s rise had begun just three years earlier in 2003, when the singer/songwriter – a magnetic artist from London’s Camden Town district – released Frank, a debut album whose stylish amalgam of jazz, soul, and funk flavors wowed the critics.
After the unveiling of Back To Black in October 2006, Amy Winehouse’s name was on everyone’s lips. The LP quickly went multi-platinum around the world and transformed its creator into a global phenomenon. Its title song was released as the set’s third single in April 2007, initially rising to 25 in the UK. After Winehouse’s tragic death in 2011, “Back To Black” got a second lease of life, peaking at No. 8 in the UK singles chart and eventually going platinum.
From the start, Jessica Pratt was a blast from the past. The 37-year-old Californian’s first three albums – lo-fi collections of acoustic folk dirges with prim, mannered vocals in the mid-century style – could have been feasibly recovered by a crate-digger; one who might have felt suitably spooked by her ghostly, sometimes eerily childlike delivery.
Five years on from the release of her acclaimed third studio album Quiet Signs (2019), Jessica Pratt has unveiled Here in the Pitch courtesy of the Mexican Summer imprint. Her fourth studio affair is preceded by the enveloping official singles “Life Is,” “World on a String” and “The Last Year.”
Based in South London, Miles Romans-Hopcraft aka Wu-Lu is a producer and multi instrumentalist who makes music that swims effortlessly between genres – scuzzy lo-fi, meandering jazz, sweet soul and strange rock all intermingle over everything from boom-bap beats to grungy drums.
The brand new release is Wu-Lu‘s first since his acclaimed 2022 debut album, LOGGERHEAD. Wu-Lu has also announced a free Wu-Lu Presents launch party for Learning To Swim On Empty. The event at The Railway Tavern in Tulse Hill on 16 May will feature performances by L.A. Salami, Pub Singer and more.
Tommy Richman has taken the internet by storm in the last few days after releasing his new song, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.” Released Friday (Apr. 26), the record is already firing on all cylinders on streaming because of its funky sound and Richman’s seamless vocal riffs.
Cults Return With Dreamy Single ‘Crybaby.’ The band’s catalogue stretches back almost 15 years, melting together dream pop with dulcet electronics.
