A.L.I.A.S Chartered New Sensual Club-Pop Territory with the Spicy RnB Earworm, Met Her in the Club

Posted on 19 July 2026

When A.L.I.A.S commits to setting a sonic scene, he practically walks it down the altar, making his latest single, Met Her in the Club, a hypnotically immersive, hot-and-heavy, multi-sensory experience. The Virginia Beach artist folds RnB, Afrobeat and pop into a sound with serious mainstream appeal, without losing the intimacy that makes his writing feel close enough to breathe on your neck.

The arcane glow of light in the reverb-drenched prelude creates a dramatic entrance for his locked-and-loaded-with-sensuality vocals. From there, the production lets you feel the rush of walking into a club, seeing the lights pop and feeling the intoxicating heat mix with bass throbbing through you as your eyes catch targets of desire.

A.L.I.A.S started producing beats at 14 before moving deeper into RnB after discovering his voice in 2020, and that producer’s ear shows in the way every melodic curve is placed for maximum friction. He’s not an artist who needs to play it safe by painting by numbers; he plays fast and loose with contemporary RnB aesthetics, bending them to the will of his playful, irrestrainable authenticity as he makes no bones about sonically visualising his libido.

With growing listeners across Glendale, Santo Domingo Oeste, New York City, Atlanta and Brooklyn, A.L.I.A.S has the makings of an artist whose danceable intimacy could travel far. Without a doubt, this hit will get people writhing on the dancefloor and in the sheets.

Met Her in the Club is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.

Anthuhny stripped his armour to stand at the vanguard of emotive pop in the hypnotic earworm, ‘don’t come home late’

Posted on 5 March 2026

Emotive pop rarely reaches its pinnacle in this decade, yet Anthuhny’s don’t come home late reminds listeners how powerful pop can be when feeling sits at the centre of the songwriting. After stepping away for years, the producer, songwriter and vocalist has returned with a track that draws you straight into its evocative gravity rather than relying on empty hooks. The single proves that Anthuhny has mastered the art of sharpening vocal refrains with soul. Each reprise of the chorus lands harder than the last, turning the short-and-sweet arrangement into a persistent earworm.

The instrumentals simmer with summery afro-beat RnB textures, creating a groove that carries equal parts warmth and temptation. As the rhythm rolls forward, the track settles into a seductive sway that feels tailor-made for late-night radio rotations and sun-drenched playlists. Pop fans will recognise the balance immediately: lust-laden tension tempered by an undercurrent of emotional possession, the kind that pulls you further into the song every time the hook circles back around. That equilibrium pulses the heart of don’t come home late, where atmosphere and melody move together with natural ease.

Anthuhny’s return holds extra weight considering the path that led him here. His early releases gathered momentum during the MySpace era, climbing online charts and catching the ear of Lil Eazy-E, which opened the door to a deal with High Powered Productions. Club performances, radio airplay and collaborations followed, cementing his reputation as a multifaceted talent. After more than a decade away from the spotlight, he re-enters the pop landscape with renewed purpose and a clear understanding of how to make listeners feel something real.

don’t come home late is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.

Obeena Poured Atomic Soul into Afrobeat Pop Ecstasy in ‘All the Way’

Posted on 12 May 2025

With luxe licks that gravitate right towards your soul and beats that fire up the rhythmic pulses within a seraphically tropic production, Obeena went beyond ticking all the right Afrobeat pop boxes with All the Way. The Nigerian-born, UK-based artist known as Afro-Remedy is revered for his ability to command culture through rhythm. In All the Way, he brings his signature fusion of traditional African grooves and modern production to a fever pitch of feel-good ecstasy that reverberates with pure spirit.

When you consider his smoother-than-any-metaphor-could-possibly-allude-to vocals, it’s clear he’s got what it takes to rise all the way to the top without friction. The single transcends the typical pop-tinged euphoria and taps into something deeper — something medicinal. With melodies that hit as much as they heal and tones that simmer as much as they soothe, Obeena has contemporary Afro fusion down to a fine art.

All the Way resonates on an atomic level; it’s a voltage surge of vibes, delivered through each carefully crafted cadence and sun-kissed melodic loop.

With a touring history that’s lit up stages from Brixton to Luton to Barking and a spot on Fido’s Live in Luton tour, Obeena is already spreading sonic remedy across the UK. Consider a ticket to his shows as a perscription of naturally derived serotonin.

All the Way is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.

DJ Homeboy & Kay Law brought hedonistic hypnotism to the dancefloor with their hit, 2 in 1

Posted on 7 November 2023

DJ Homeboy and Kay Law brought rhythmic hypnotism to the dancefloor with their collaboration on the high vibe, big beat hit, 2 in 1, which reimagines the 90s Europop sound as one that oscillates with an unapologetically infectious brand of hedonism that draws you right into the heat of the wanton lust.

The snappy backbeat and Afrobeat nuances keep the energy electrifying through the progressions which get catchier with every repeat listen for the way they bolster the earwormy vocal delivery from the Nigerian British singer-songwriter who can often be found genre-bending to contort her distinctively impassioned sonic signature.

We can’t wait to see the boundaries that Kay Law is set to break in 2024 and beyond after her hits have received plaudits and airplay from BBC Introducing in Summer 2022. Watch this space to see the major waves she brings down on the UK pop scene she’s destined to reign over.

2 in 1 was officially released on October 27; stream it on Spotify.
