Move over rock stars, it's time for that London sound to shine through!
New Artist: Anaïs

Anaïs has the talent to become the next pop princess. She has a clear and crisp melodic voice, that with the slow beat and base puts you in the best mind space. Her song Nina - dedicated to her idol Nina Simone - is a soulful masterpiece.
While others try to recreate a commercial song ready for radio play for their EP, Anaïs made the bold choice to keep her sound a reflection of her background. London is unmistakable in her songs, but her travels and origin speaks volume throughout her work. 'La Mamma' is an obvious example. The french song showcases her full vocal ranges and pitch.
New Track: George Ezra - Shotgun

George Ezra's song Shotgun from his new album is more upbeat and fun compared to his past work. The energetic track will immediately put you in a great mood, leaving you feeling like you can just pack up and travel. The lyrics representative of the start of spring in the most organic way, getting us geared for a fun and sunny summer.
The track is a perfect taster that recaps the new album. It shows maturity, intention and a well pictured narrative. The song is perfection!
George Ezra is going on tour and he is going to perform at the O2 Academy Brixton, April 3rd.
New Music Video : Yung Fume - Never Had (ft. Jme)

Grime artist Yung Fume tells us about all the finest things he can now afford to buy. The songs ticks all the boxes that make this a grime song - nothing is missing from the track - from the dancehall and hip hop vibes to the hard hitting bars.
Jme made this song his! He kept it real talking about where he comes from and the struggle he had endured on his way up. His feature was necessary to make this a rounded track and staying away from becoming a bragging song.
The Never Had music video is very different from the rest of Yung Fume's tracks.The style is similar to Drake's Energy video. The white background is obviously used to emphasise the clothes and lyrics, but it is lacking narrative that would have help make the video a more entertaining watch.
