Blazer Boccle – Sex Pistol

Blazer Boccle  – ’Sex Pistol’, from EP Where Dreams Go To Die Bradford’s finest Blazer Boccle drops his genre-defying debut EP for Manchester-based independent label NQ (Aitch, MIST, Mitch etc. For fans of Slowthai, Mike Skinner and Gorillaz, the record is equally hard hitting to michevious, blending witty-wordplay with punk-rock guitar. Focus single ‘Sex Pistol’ is about the rapper’s relationship with people and places (the latter being his home of Bradford). While previous single release ‘Boppin’ was a playful ode to police, politics and grafting (selling drugs), Blazer comments that “Sex Pistol is me taking an innocent girl out and showing her the lifestyle”.

Khamari – Drifting

Los Angeles based talent Khamari has returned with his brand new single ‘Drifting,’ and it’s the perfect song for those looking for an escape. Backed by a Nina Simone sample, the track is a confident and epic record that showcases the rising artist’s showstopping talent. Speaking on his new release, Khamari shares:“Drifting is about escapism. I was trying to find a different way to express that headspace I was in, a way away from monotony and overwhelming emotion. Originally we started from the piano and the drums, but I wanted to elevate it. I chopped the intro to Nina Simone’s ‘Feeling Good’ over the track. To me, the irony in sampling a song about a woman singing about how she’s found euphoria, over a song about my struggle of being locked into a search for it, was a dope way to tell that story.”

UPSAHL – Antsy

Pop starlett UPSAHL is gearing up for her new music with her latest track ‘Antsy’. The record, which is set to be featured on her Sagittarius themed EP, gives music listeners an introspective glimpse into her fiery persona and free nature. Led by a high octane pop-punk sound, ‘Antsy’ explores themes change and evolution. Speaking on the track, the young talent says: “Antsy is a song for anyone who feels like they want to make a change in their life, but don’t know how to. It’s that moment when you realize you’ve had enough of whatever bad shit has been going on and you need to switch it up and start fresh. It could literally be anything from relationships to health to the internet to school to work, etc. Whatever it is that makes you antsy, we’ve all been there.”

London-based artist Eyelar has dropped her cathartic and powerful new single ‘till you hate me’.

Speaking about the track Eyelar says: “I have always been pessimistic and scared of love and everytime I’m about to fall in love I think about how many relationships statistically fail. till you hate me is about the fear of letting someone know every part of you, not just the good parts but also the ugly parts. And hoping they will stay, but not knowing how on earth they would”
