UK soul sensation Mikyla Cara shares feel-good anthem ‘if u don’t mind’

UK-based singer Mikyla Cara released her latest single, ‘If U Don’t Mind’, on April 26, 2024. With influences like Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin, she’s firmly rooted in the neosoul/R&B genre. Since her debut EP Grown in January 2017, she’s built a notable career, including recent releases like ‘Thank You, Thank Me’ (2023) and the EP Feels Like A Break Up… (2023), featuring tracks supported by BBC Introducing and BBC 1Xtra. Mikyla collaborates with producer Scarz and performs internationally at venues like The Apollo Theatre in New York City and Studio 88 London.

Mikyla Cara taps into her neo soul and R&B inspirations to infuse ‘If You Don’t Mind’ with a classic feel, transporting listeners to the golden age of R&B, reminiscent of Alicia Keys at her peak. With its captivating melody and relatable lyrics, the song creates an immersive experience, inviting listeners to explore themes of love, self-discovery, and pure happiness.

Reflecting on her inspiration for the song, Mikyla shares: “I wanted to create a feel-good song that was reminiscent of old school R&B. The type of song you could vibe to on the way to get your morning coffee or sing along to at the top of your lungs at the nightclub“.

Nastiya Kai – Nomadic soul and boundless musical spirit releases a wild & raw new single and video ‘Demons’.

Emerging alt pop sensation Nastiya Kai shares another single and music video, ‘Demons’ via her imprint Nastiya Kai Music. The single offers a taste of what is to come with her debut album, Demon Era, slated for release on May 31st, 2024. Her recent singles garnered support from NOTION Magazine, CLASH Magazine, Wonderland Magazine and EARMILK as well as landing her an interview with Numéro and airplay on Flux FM. With her music accumulating more than 141 500 streams and counting, Nastiya Kai is carving a place for herself in pop’s prolific world, and she’s here to stay.

‘Demons’ is a glitchy and upbeat ode to the dizzying experience of bypassing somebody’s red flags as you fall in love with them. Nastiya Kai creates depth with catchy vocal layering coupled with an infectious dance pop beat, occasionally giving way to passages of haunting ambience. The accompanying video is a neon-clad chronicle of Nastiya and a lover, steamy yet tender and intimate, and at times painful.

Nastiya Kai shared: “’Demons’ is a love song, contrary to how it sounds. It’s about loving someone so

much you keep ignoring the red flags over and over again and at some point you stop fighting and just give in. It’s also about rushing into something without having the time to think things over so it’s a little more fast paced compared to most tracks on the album.”

Burr Island – Alternative Indie Folk duo, from the West Country release new single ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’.

London born and based acoustic folk duo Burr Island are set to release their latest single, ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’, on May 10th via Left Foot Records. The track garnered support from UK-based music and fashion magazine CLASH Magazine and airplay BBC 6 Radio’s Cerys. ‘Later’ follows the recent release of their fifth single, ‘Our Home’. The band has received praise from industry giants like Robert Plant and Noel Gallagher. With 250,000 streams across all platforms for their first four releases and their debut album on the way in 2024, the future looks promising for the Burr Island boys.

‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’ is a sweet piano ballad full of feeling, an easy yet poignant listen. The pair offer beautiful lilting vocal lines with warm choral backing vocals straight out of a CSNY album. The track is timeless and tender, an ode to the devotion felt in all of love’s forms.

Burr Island divulged: “This is a love song for anyone who wants it. Whether you’re a grandmother cherishing the time with your young grandchild, friends with an unbreakable bond, star-crossed lovers sinking into each other’s eyes or somebody trying to communicate with the loved one they’ve lost. Like most of our songs, it was written on guitar and it remained a guitar song until the very last minute. We were never fully happy with the old version and felt the song needed a gentler tone. The brilliant Nikolaj Torp Larsen (The Specials) agreed to play piano for the new version and as soon as we heard his performance, we knew it was the one. We feel that sonically it’s added another texture to the album.”
