COVER! Ellie Goulding X Xaphoon Jones - High For This (The Weeknd Cover)

So this is sick. A nice fuller between waiting for her new material to surface. Kinda reminiscent of the cover by French singer Coeur De Pirate that I blogged a while back, and when I say it's kinda reminiscent, I mean it, they're both still very different lol.


Like this though! Bring on album number 2.

VIDEO: Juliette Ashby - Take It Over @JulietteAshby

Whatta crazy coincidence. I blog this girl as a British Talent post and she puts up her new music video the next day. Beautiful.


New track from Juliette Ashby which is now a BBC Introducing track playlisted on 1Xtra - expect to hear this a lot over the next few weeks.

Follow me on twitter @Leanne_Joseph

British Talent - Juliette Ashby @JulietteAshby

Thanks to producer Jon Hockley for putting me onto this girl. Juilette Ashby, I've been literally rinsing this track for months now and now is the perfect time to blog it since the sun is out. 


The North London singer has been buzzing around the music scene for a while. Supporting Brian McKnight at the 02, be-friending and living with Amy Winehouse, working with producers such as Alan Grass (Earth, Wind & Fire), Jazzwad (Damian Marley) and now on the BBC 1Xtra playlist as a BBC Introducing artist, Ashby is a woman about town.


Out of all the material I've listened to I keep coming back to this song. I just love the lovers reggae groove of it. My favourite tune right now - Juliette reminds me of a reggae-soul Paloma Faith. Cant wait to hear more!

Check out her other material here...

Introducing - Lili K @lilikjazz

Previous Introducing post with Selah Sue

Hello! Been a long time since I've written an Introducing post but heres another one for your adoring ears! This is 20 year old singer-songwriter Lili K. Came across this chick a couple days ago and I've been hooked on her voice and amazing vocal range since. The Chicago based singer combines her pop vocals with some jazz-soul instrumentals but still keeps her tunes so fresh with an urban twang.


Currently building up her fan base in the US with a mini tour and I hope, working on some new material also, I'm excited to hear whats next from the singer. Check her out!

After all the anticipation, finally heres the video for the alternative R&B track from some of the members of the Last Night In Paris gang titled Too Many Stars. Vocals include Nova Dreamz, Flowzart and Rainy Milo and some SICCCCK visuals by Jordan Wi Fi.


Liking the stuff they put out but I feel its all just a taster, all we need now is a mixtape/EP launched at a Last Night In Paris art exhibition, a night full of all the sickness creativity has to offer.

British Talent - Etta Bond LINK!


It's been nearly a year since I first blogged about Etta Bond, its AMAZING to see the grown and journey of her as an artist and this is just another chapter in her already gleaming repertoire of great music. Here she features on Warren Xclnce's production which is one track from the Producer/Graphic designer's EP.


So we got his EP to look forward and Etta's! Oh my gosh, LIFE. IS. GOOD! Below is the original track and below that is the remix by Savcloud, both are disgustingly sick! Yep.

NEW! Cainaforce - Not Thinking Of You @Cainaforce @IAmFredCox

This song has just saved me from a revision comma. I've been stuck to the AQA website all day doing past papers and of course the temptation of music over powers me so I check my soundcloud and YESSSSSS, a new great tune from Cainaforce appears with the excellent Fred Cox on production.

Liking bass heavy funky vibe but with that perfect pop balance. It's literally saved my brain from boiling. LOVE!

NEW! Ny - Darkside (Acoustic 64) @Nyofficial @sbtvonline

Ny has most definitely stepped up her game through her last few releases and this is another demonstration of that. Love the way this is written, her music shows a lot more maturity and how shes grow as an artist and I'm sure as a person as well so its great to see her releasing music that captures all audiences.


 Props!

NEW! Disclosure - Whats In Your Head @Disclosure_UK

Disclosure ft Sinead Harnett - Boiling LINK!

If you haven't heard their first single from EP The Face then definitely do click the link above because its one of my favourite songs of 2012 and I'm sure it will be yours as well.


New track What's In Your Head is just as stella, not so much focusing on the vocal but the song as a whole and the generally mellow vibe. Brilliant!

You may recognise this guy's voice rather than his face as he is the vocal on the new Rudimental tune Feel The Love. That song is undeniably a smash so what a better time to start releasing your viral stuff. 


Liking his raspy tone, his voice is so much older than me, he has that vocal maturity, very intriguing!
