In The Spotlight

Sonny Tennet – “Gold”

Hailing from South Shields, this rising British singer and songwriter began his musical journey playing in local pubs aged 14, supported by his dad who was the singer of the band Pineapple Head. Since then he’s had songs featured on TV shows “Love Island” and “The Only Way Is Essex”. Inspired by Stevie Wonder and James Morrison, whom he supported on his tour, he debuted with “Princess” in 2017.

Joining together various sonic elements taken from soul, R&B and retro-pop, his new single offers something for every ear. Kicking off with a short barbershop harmony, the melody unfolds with a rich bassline, handclaps and his vintage-dipped vocals, before erupting into a bubbly, 80s-styled chorus. Slightly reminiscent of George Michael, this highly infectious neon groove glitters like 24 carat gold.

Léonie Gray – “Slitted Tongue”

Born and raised in Lavaltrie, QC, this Canadian singer and songwriter grew up in a music loving family. Inspired by the success of a school concert, she started taking singing and trumpet lessons. After moving to Montreal aged 18, she played local venues and was lead singer in the musical Symbiose. Influenced by Billie Holiday, Etta James and Amy Winehouse, she debuted with “A Night At Honey’s” in 2018.

Borrowing from the expansive regions of classic soul, her new single is vibrant and brimming with passion. Taken from her upcoming debut album, expected to drop in April 2022, it’s the authentic instrumentation of lively drums, warm bass and fresh horns that create a delicious retro groove. And with her silver-tongued vintage vocals, this bouncy tune is energetic, sweet and utterly magical.
