Leah Capelle – Settle Down

Produced Jeff Bova, who has worked with the likes of Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Blondie and Cyndi Lauper, ‘Settle Down’ is an expertly composed pop/rock ballad with a mission. As the song transitions from a late 80s vibe into an anthemic rock breakdown, we feel all the pain and questioning within Capelle. The ‘Settle Down’ video portrays the aching helplessness and disillusionment that Capelle and many others have felt too often. The video is truly a heart-wrenching, gorgeously executed piece of art where we see Capelle at her most vulnerable yet.

Maverick Sabre – Slow Down ft. Jorja Smith

The latest single from Irish artist Maverick Sabre sees him team up with long term collaborator and friend Jorja Smith on a stunning new visual shot by Rashid Babiker (‘On Your Own, Teenage Fantasy, Jorja Smith). Taken from his upcoming album ‘When I Wake Up’, March 22nd, the short film for ‘Slow Down’ is a lo-fi, hazy aesthetic, which sees the two characters share a moment of confession as Mav plays the role of a London cabbie, with Jorja stepping into his cab. Both of them play out their separate stories. We can’t wait to see what Mav’s full record will bring!

Ariana Grande – needy

“Sorry if I’m up and down a lot, sorry that I think I’m not enough, and sorry if I say sorry way too much”. Ariana Grande has done it again with this unapologetic track.
