Tilly Valentine – “Yours Is Mine”

Born in Oxford, this British singer and songwriter moved to London aged 16 to attend the renowned BRIT school. Since then she’s sung backing vocals for the likes of Rod Stewart and Sam Smith at Wembley Arena and performed at Oxford’s O2 Academy and London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. Inspired by artists such as Amy Winehouse, Lianne La Havas and Tom Misch, she debuted with “Coins” in 2018.

Singing about the aftermath of an intense breakup, her latest single combines lyrical heartbreak with musical warmth. Blending pop and R&B with a touch of jazz, the ear-stroking melody sounds like a soothing embrace. With the playful pluck of a jazzy guitar, the cheerful bounce of the drums and gracious harmonies, it’s her alluring vocals that unite all elements into a lavish gem.

Malan – “We’ll Be Alright”

Born as Malan Jones, this Welsh singer and songwriter was ready to introduce herself to the music scene, when the pandemic hit and the first lockdown put a stop to those plans. Instead she used the extra time to get a music degree at Bangor University and further develop her jazz, R&B and soul sound. Inspired by Cleo Sol, Olivia Dean and Faye Webster, she released her debut “Busy Bee” in 2020.

Instantly enchanting with a soul-infused rhythm, her new single exudes positivity. Taken from her EP “Bloom”, the delightful track gently bobs on warm, comforting sonic waves. With some R&B influences and a jazzy vibe, the chorus spices the tune up with upbeat cheer and smooth harmonies. And with her chilled, soulful vocal flair, this alluring gem is more than alright; it’s a silky musical treat.
