MIREI – Take Me Away

21-year-old electronic R&B songstress MIREI, from Japan, is stepping out with her international English-language debut Take Me Away. Contrary to the track’s mesmerizing chorus and upbeat vibe, MIREI tackles the pressures of city life and the loneliness that one may feel in the mix in her lyrics. In the video which also dropped today, she says, “I wanted to film the video in Japan to show a different, dark side of the city and the people chasing their dreams in it… The video is about a girl who lost her way by herself in Tokyo. The girl is facing her ideal versus reality, and it looks like she’s gone crazy, but she’s not alone – though not with the best company… This happens to so many women chasing their dreams in any big city.”

Jordan Mackampa What Am I

Soulful, thoughtful, and growth are three words that can be used to describe Jordan Mackampa’s new track What Am I. Speaking on the track Mackampa says “What Am I is a modern take on Marvin Gaye’s classic ‘What’s Going On’, highlighting the state of the world right now, from multiple wars in different territories; how the earth is dying, to the border control problem & how it’s been dealt with. It’s a lot of ‘hopes and prayers’, changing of display pictures to blue, but all trickling down to a stop soon after, as it’s no longer in the forefront of the media.

Family and Loyalty is hip hop in its purest form. The bars are slick, quick and poetic. Expertly telling a story through the lyrics, Gang Starr and J. Cole make sweet music together. If you’re a lover of hip hop add this amazing track to your playlist.
