Tamera - Good Love
With her EP Afrodite on the way, Tamera fortifies her position within the UK R&B scene with the tame track "Good Love" featuring Tay Iwar. The track comes after "Wickedest" which was met with glowing reviews. With "Good Love" presenting Tamera at her calmest and most inviting, the Kent-based songstress allows her honey-smooth vocals to drench each track she produces. Speaking on the choice of the new EP name, Tamera described why she used the spelling "Afrodite" instead of the original spelling: "I’m also an African woman and predominant sonics of the project are heavily influenced by African culture.”
Svetlana - London
Svetlana unveiled the dreamy and soulful track "London" giving a sense of luxury to us. Being from a city that never sleeps, "London" speaks on living a busy lifestyle where we don't have the time to see friends or family, amongst working long hours and starting to feel lonely. Coming from her debut EP, "London" is a track that expresses a longing for love.
Chloe Bodur - Static Flow
With her EP arriving very soon, Chloe Bodur has graced the music scene with relatable tracks that intrigue you. With her latest number "Static Flow" produced by JD. Reid, she moulds elements of love and relationships into her everyday life but for this one in particular, she explores the idea of changing yourself to fit in with other people. Hailing from North-West London, Chloe enjoys to implement nostalgia and euphoria within her music and allows us to see how free she really is.
Downtown Kayoto - NAVIG8
Following the release of his latest single "Karma Called", Downtown Kayoto unveiled his highly-anticipated EP NAVIG8 which is said to be his most boundary pushing body of work to date. This budding musician weaves elements of RnB, pop, rap and 00's indie into his music. Speaking on the new project, Downtown Kayoto mentioned that: “I wrote a lot of it in the night and outside. At the time of lockdown, I felt lost but strangely hopeful of the future, I was studying during the day and pursing creative interests through the night and in between school trying to find a place to live in.” It feels like a coming-of-age project.
“The expression in NAVIG8 comes from how at this point in my life, I felt as if I was navigating every single aspect of my being, my future, my relationships, my character as well as my place in the world.”
