From sprinting to music: F17 speeds in quick with ‘Track On Drill’ (ft. TeeOnly)

Posted on 16 January 2021

Fred Afrifa aka F17 is in full flight and you can see the passion he has for the next step of his life on new release ‘Track On Drill‘ (ft. TeeOnly).

Blending Italian and British styles, the South London/Italy native singer/athlete tears up the mic on this impressive outing from the multi-talented creative.

The rap delivery is sharp and quick-witted with both of these motivated emcee’s showing their spectacular skills. With a few languages included, this is a true international song that is so catchy and sees the two stars flowing it hard on the athletics track via the music video.

The self-motivational message is clear for all to see and the extra effort needed to be at the top. Sports and music have always been closely linked and its refreshing to see this translated in a proper music video, of such high quality.

‘Track On Drill‘ (ft. TeeOnly) from international sprinter/emcee F17 is a motivating song about how you can achieve your goals if you put the effort in. Others might be blazing and chasing girls, while the right way is to get that lactic acid burning by running a few 300’s and by keeping that lazer focus lit.

In life, if you want to get that gold medal, you need to put the hard work in each day, otherwise its all talk and no action.

Get out the starting blocks on YouTube and see what happens next on IG.

Finding your burning passion: ‘What Do You Want’ by producer/musician Giampaolo Pasquile (ft Jimmy Burney) is the story of being frustrated with indecisiveness

Posted on 23 November 2020

The renowned Italian born and London based producer/musician Giampaolo Pasquile brings Jimmy Burney with him on this Dance-Pop journey to find the answer on the new smash hit called ‘What Do You Want‘.

The vocals steam through the glass windows and you need to open them rather quickly, as you might pass out otherwise. This is a hot song that is all about seeking the answer that you have been asking for ages. You get no response and you get the feeling that they are as cold as ice, and they should rather live in a freezer.

”Recorded Remotely and in Total Safety According to The COVID – 19 Legislation”- Giampaolo Pasquile

The vocals are so driven and seeking the answer is proving hard as they are not telling you the whole story. The frustration hits records highs during the song, the production is spot on, and the voice is executed to perfection- the mark of a team that have woven their talents together equally. The story of a producer who took the time during these horrific times to take a breath and re-imagined his music rather than sitting on his laurels.

Taken off the new full album called ‘Remote‘, this is music made with love and with those that matter most- friends who care about music.

Sometimes people you love hide things away- deep inside their soul- that they forget where it was to begin with. In a world pull of flashing lights, bad role models and social media distractions that have changed how our brains are, ‘What Do You Want‘ (ft Jimmy Burney) is a real story that emanates through all of our minds. Knowing what you want and taking it, is what Giampaolo Pasquile does through music, and he inspires us all to do precisely that. This is the only want to be truly happy inside, rather than living out others dreams and desires, that don’t match your own.

You will need a cold shower after listening on Spotify and find out more about this remarkable man on his website.

‘Waste My Time’ from Chillhum and Devyn Sawyer is a bouncy true story of love

Posted on 21 October 2020

‘Waste My Time‘ from Chillhum and Devyn Sawyer is a bouncy true story of love that joins our hearts a lot closer. After a listlessly lonely year, this is a warm embrace that digs at the real issues.

Time seems to go a lot faster and you don’t want to waste your time with someone that doesn’t have the same morals as you. This is the culmination and exactly what happened to Ethan as he left college and relocated to Los Angeles where he studied production at Icon Collective. It was during this time that he took on the name Chillhum and from there music has been the major focus. The passion is here and the exquisite intrinsic intertwining melodies gave us shivers. This is a quality track.

Producer-songwriter-musician Ethan Bedell, aka Chillhum, brings to the table an unmistakably unique and genre-bending style that is clearly a sound crafted over years of experiences and lessons learnt. Life as a musician has inspired him to bring us a sound that is different, soaked is skills and love.

Dan Marsh breezes in our world with ‘Lose Your Heart’

Posted on 11 August 2020

R&B singer-songwriter Dan Marsh is back with his reflective new song called ‘Lose Your Heart‘.

Dan Marsh-“The words I write with the music of my heart are the keys to open change in this world. Live, love, learn.” This says it all about this enticing musician with a heart of gold.

Dan Marsh sings about stories that tackles the issue of maintaining self worth despite the mistakes we make. He’s proven to be a bottomless pit of stories, each time, digging deeper and deeper to bring alive those rock bottom moments that others may shy away from sharing. This is a musician that is willing to be totally honest all the time and he does it with his signature R&B style.

‘Lose Your Heart‘ from Dan Marsh is all about making sure you don’t lose yourself inside. It’s not a great feeling and you can lose hope after a while. This is a song that is well produced, simple lyrics and a strong voice. I think that big things await this singer.

Amelita is here with ‘’A Quarantine Breakup Song’’ featuring Sims, tears and aliens

Posted on 24 May 2020
https://youtu.be/vAaGB5wX7OI

It had to come. A quarantine breakup song in 2020. Something was missing from the music scene and we have the answer. The US teen Pop artist is feeling pain and her ex is deservedly the literal punching bag on this occasion. Oh wait, it’s a naughty parody. Nevermind. 

Self described as a ‘’Comedic musician and avid sleep enthusiast’’, I would love to meet ‘Amelita’. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and is definitely creating a niche for herself. 

‘Amelita’ loves her Parody videos on YouTube and seems to be gaining more and more steam after each release. The mix of a Sims video game and music is quite fascinating. Making babies with an alien is just an extra treat too. Something about werewolves too. You get the idea.

Let’s see what this comedian musician has next up her sleeve as she certainly entertains.

Back In SAVannah relases his single ‘Just a Memory’

Posted on 1 May 2020

With his music being what matters most to himself and to his listeners, Back In SAVannah lets his songs speak for themselves with his new release ‘Just A Memory’.

‘Just A Memory’ bases its whole structure on a refined merge of bold piano work and powerful vocals in a smooth but captivating blend. The track reaches its maximum expression when violins and strings kick in to open the entire harmony, creating a perfect canvas for his voice to shine.

Passionate lyrics describe moments of suffering followed by acceptance of a relationship that used to be a “perfect masterpiece” fizzling out like it was just a memory.

Check out ‘Just A Memory’ on Spotify.
