Britain’s own Jackson Homer has exploded onto the scene these past 12 months with no intention of turning back. Brimming with laid-back yet funky energy and saucy vibes, his first EP release in 2022 has already amassed over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, gained support from NMF UK, Fresh Finds UK, Fresh Finds, Internet People and Gaming Lounge, had his track written up as one of the Songs of the Summer by The Guardian and sold out his first headline show for his EP release, sponsored by none other than Redbull.

For Jackson Homer’s next release ‘In My Head (LaLaLa)’, he brings in the brilliant rapper, Cap1talA. An inspiring individual, equally making waves in the industry, with upcoming shows alongside Feux and Ashbeck, editorial playlist adds on Fresh Finds Indie, Free Form, and the night bus edit, as well as articles on CULTED, GRM Daily & more.

Jackson Homer is a British producer and DJ based just outside of Birmingham, whose timeless sound invokes names such as Disclosure, Daft Punk and Kaytranada. 

Through his father being a DJ, Jackson was always surrounded by music whilst growing up. Around the age of just 7, Jackson Homer conveyed a curiosity for DJing and began learning the fundamentals. It was not long before Jackson became intrigued by the process of music production and developed a passion for it. 

Jackson Homer’s debut album (‘99) undoubtedly exhibits his talent for music production. Each track differs from the last, yet ties together in a thoughtful composition. Jackson has now over 1.5 million streams on Spotify since his first release in March 2022.

Jackson’s previous achievements include 5 different Spotify editoral playlists (including, NMF UK, Fresh finds UK, Fresh finds, Internet People and Gaming Lounge), as well as playlist adds from the Ministry of Sound and Adidas. Jackson was chosen for one of the songs of the summer by The Guardian as well as selling out his first headline show supported by Red Bull UK.

Cap1talA is a 21-year-old rapper from Kent currently based in West London. In his own words “My music shows my journey within the growth and emotional experiences over the years I’ve had as a Black man in the UK. I’ve seen that my music has connected with people and has touched them so that’s why I always try to keep a positive message – that’s why my motto is ‘keep on livin’”.

Cap1talA’s music and influences combine the gritty 90s Hip hop and soul sound with a modern day input on Trap and alternative beats. He doesn’t stick to any particular sound and isn’t boxed into a particular scene. Some of his biggest influences include Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller and Childish Gambino.

He focuses on introspective lyricism often about relationships, mental health and previous life experiences he’s had to endure; it is both encouraging yet reflective at the same time.

April 21, 2023 The Beautiful Blū take a stand in new song ‘One Final Day’

The Beautiful Blū take a stand in new song ‘One Final Day’

With a message in mind, The Beautiful Blū have released a pop-rock single titled ‘One Final Day’, taken from the forthcoming album iGenocide. The single and project alike see them addressing socio-political issues ranging from genocide to political marketing and ideological themes of Nationalism.

Less about surface and more about depth, the song is a revolt against the political agenda that tries to convincing the youth to estrange themselves from people of other nationalities, set over a heart-beating piano instrumentation. In an anthemic protest, British vocalist Bill Ryder-Jones takes the position of a propagandist selling glory at the cost of living. It’s a strong cause and an equally strong record.

 The Beautiful Blū shares: “Our upcoming album “iGenocide” reflects the experience of interacting with survivors of such atrocities. Not everyone came into the studio with the same exposure to the people who suffered through these events. Yet, we were able to bond as musicians around the music. In doing so, it served as a beautiful reminder that music emphasizes the qualities that bring people together, as opposed to pushing them apart.”

Growing from her roots in rural Scotland, Electro Pop songstress Fourth Daughter has shared a single from her yet-to-be-released debut EP HYPERREAL. The single, titled ‘Say What You Want’, comes with a B-side, ‘Calling Out Your Name’. Let’s dive in.

‘Say What You Want’ is a lush dance record. Glide notes reverberate around Fourth Daughter’s warm voice, bolstering its distinct emotion. Bordering on nostalgia, its mood is unquenchable. Upbeat yet slightly sombre, the interplay between happiness and sadness creates a tension that the beat eases, engendering a sense of cathartic release.

Being the youngest of four daughters, Emily Atkinson discovered her love of music while looking for a way to entertain herself in the quiet countryside. Making a name for herself in her homeland under the moniker Fourth Daughter, she has previously been named one of BBC Radio’s Artists To Watch in 2020 by presenter Vic Galloway.

LT is keeping the spirit of youth alive. Fanning the flames, she has released a new song entitled ‘Act Your Age’. Refusing to do exactly that, she defies all who claim to be an authority on the matter, redefining what it means to grow up. No, LT is sticking to her guns, professing her refusal to be told what to do in a spicy bass-driven Indie Pop record. 

Stream / Download: LT – ‘Act Your Age’

“When you’re a kid, people are telling you to grow up and ‘act your age’ and then when you get a little older, women especially, are told they can’t behave, dress, or continue working in a variety of careers because they’re too old.  Stuff that. I’ll act whatever age I want to,” she says, standing her ground on the matter. The independently-released record is out now LT Records.
