New Video: Tekno - Dance

Every time I see him or hear the name Tekno, I can't seem but to think he's a long lost member of Mindless Behaviour or is meant to be in a boy-band of some form...

Artist Tekno releases the first official music video since his signing to Iyanya's record label Triple MG. Shot in Lagos, Nigeria by director Sesan - the video to ‘Dance’ lives up to it's name. The visuals deliver with dance scenes from start to finish and we even get to see a cameos of Iyanya and Emma Nyra taking to the floor, showing some of their dance moves.

Produced by e-Kelly, ‘Dance’ is the first of many releases to come from Tekno throughout this year. Summer last year he released ‘Holiday’ featuring Davido and gave fans a taster of what's still yet to come from him.

I would've loved to see some more slick choreography from Tekno Miles in the video. Nevertheless watch the video to ‘Dance’ below.

Asking his competition "who is the baddest", ‘The Baddest’ tells the story of an upcoming artist, who is ready to go to war and claim his throne while replicating (being inspired by the likes of) Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and Trey Songz.

Expecting nothing less from the Hollowman, Giggs unique tone and airy feel uplifts the track which was added straight to the BBC Radio 1Xtra playlist.

Not one to hold back on her songs, Lady Lykez storms back in to 2014 with a vengeance with her explosive new track ‘Psycho’. Releasing her inner psycho for the new video, expressing how love and hate are both strong passions and rather than being opposites, Lykez unveils that "I wanted to get across the roller coaster emotions of being in a relationship and crazy in love."

Following up to her 2013 tracks such as ‘I Love My Butt’ and ‘Rosa Parks’, Lykez delivery and presence on ‘Psycho’ shows she means business. And anyone that doubted Lykez's lyrical ability was swiftly silenced by her ‘Fire in the Booth’ for Charlie Sloth, Radio 1 which stopped rave reviews: http://youtu.be/yoWwfGU7gbQ

Pinning the tail on the donkey with this video Chris Brown and his crew deliver with some slick choreography - which no Breezy visual would have been complete without.

Usher, Trey Songz and Ty Dolla $ign all appear in the music video to ‘Loyal’, accompanied with some beautiful video models, a pet tiger, a man with a computerised bear head, and a dead racoon on Usher's head... Oh yes! Only in a Chris Brown video.

Dance all the unloyal "hoes" out of your life (we all know one or two) with Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Tyga below.

Sona: New Music ‘Ijo Sona’ + New Video ‘No Wahala’

To say Sona has improved over the past couple months is beyond any doubt an understatement. Last year he got his feet wet in the Afrobeats scene and this year he is proven that he's here to stay.

Last week Monday he released ‘Ijo Sona’ a heavy African influenced song which is already loved by many and has already reached over 12,000 plays on his soundcloud account. Singing fluently in Yoruba, Sona teamed up with producer OY for ‘Ijo Sona’ which means "Sona's dance", has seen Sona drawn inspiration from icons such as Shina Peters, KWAM1 and a few other respected Afro-Fuji/Afro-Juju legends in the game.

The new single sees Sona highlighting his unique artistry, vocal strength and songwriting skills as he waxes lyrical about the 'pursuit of happiness' with the lady of his dreams.

Seyi Shay also talks about how God is the source of her strength and working with some of the biggest artists to date - including Beyoncé, Wale and many more.

Since it got premiered on Power 105.1's ‘The Breakfast Club’ yesterday morning, there has been plenty of mixed reviews of the song - some fans are saying that "this ain't it". Keyshia Cole took a hiatus from music and returns to the scene with ‘Rick James’. The lyrics to the song where Keyshia sings "slap a b-tch like Rick James!" refers to the skit ‘Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories’ on the Dave Chapelle show with Dave Chapelle and Rick James himself.

**Personally! I really like this song, even though the message behind the song does sound like it's promoting violence. I can see it on repeat for a very long time!**

The video to ‘Mr Icey’ reminds me somewhat of an early noughties hip-hop and R&B music video - back to the days Ja Rule was reigning the charts, and there was literally no budget for music videos.

In due time we'd get more material from the self-acclaimed Naija Boy With a Yankee Swag, but until then watch the video to ‘Mr Icey’ with cameo appearances from B_Red, K-Switch and many more!

[Stream]: Jarell Perry's ‘White’ EP

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. Jarell Perry has finally released his long awaited ‘White’ EP.

The past few months have seen Jarell Perry establish himself as a leader in the nu-soul movement. Today, his highly anticipated EP ‘White’, has finally arrived. ‘White’ is a dynamic, complex R&B project that accentuates Jarell’s artfully seductive vocals with ethereal soundscapes and pulsing beats, solidifying Jarell Perry as a major creative force to be reckoned with in 2014. 

‘White’, available on all digital formats, puts Jarell’s artistic diversity on full display. The EP leaves no doubt that he is the same artist that won over an international following with his last release, ‘Simple Things’, while still showing the bounds of artistic maturity Jarell has developed since his last record. This latest EP was entirely produced by Jarell’s constant collaborator DJ HSVN, and the creative chemistry from so many hours spent in the studio together is evident and something special to behold. 

Jarell Perry recently wrapped a winter tour with Yuna, during which his opening set won over every crowd he performed in front of. The word quickly got out regarding Jarell’s prowess as a live performer, and after only a few dates the entire sell-out crowd at each stop were there at doors to make sure they didn’t miss a second of his set. Jarell will be at SXSW, and his appearance is already among the most anticipated of the festival. From there, 2014 will only get bigger for the artist as he has multiple releases planned for the year.

Jarell Perry has the talent and charisma to be one of the seminal acts of this new generation of artists carrying the torch of Soul and R&B. Stay tuned for more information on Jarell as ‘White’ makes its way to a much larger audience than Jarell has been previously recognized by.

The track opens fans to a another side of Scarz who reminisces on a past relationship turned sour, but he instead reflects on the positives creating an upbeat pop worthy track perfect for those who find themselves thinking about a past ex this valentines day.

The album 'Spread Love Not War' shows maturity with Scarz, who has always spoken up on social issues and used music to reach out to the youth which, frankly, is what music should be about.

It’s refreshing to hear UK grime and hip-hop with a positive message in the lyrics. Scarz accomplishes this without detracting from the album’s raw feel – featuring a mixture of eclectic flows over hard grime beats.

This is reflected in the album artwork, produced by the urban scene’s ever-popular Funny Tummy, who has also created album/mixtape covers for the likes of Angel, Tinie Tempah and Scorcher to name a few. Make sure you grab a copy of Spread Love Not War from iTunes.

Ralph Hardy gives us an enjoyable mix that we can groove to with our parents that consists of back to back hits - with songs from the 90s, noughties and new era material with a modern day tinge as he likes to call it.
