In The Spotlight

Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard – “Break Right In”

Having started as a bedroom studio project for Tom Rees in 2016, he soon employed the help of his brother Eddie Rees, Ethan Hurst and Zac White to create this quartet and champion a 70s rock sound. Hailing from Wales, they perform a wild live show, conjuring the ghosts of rock ‘n’ roll past. Taking inspiration from Cream and John Lennon, they debuted their raw sound on “Late Night City” in 2019.

Bring out the denim flares, bright orange carpets and lava lamps, because their new single is erupting with vintage glam-rock vibes. Taken from their upcoming debut album “Backhand Deals”, expected on February 25th, it starts Lennon-esque calm, before an insatiable percussion and rolling rock guitars burst to life. Enriched with a touch of britpop modernity, this groove is a savory sonic pastiche.

In The Spotlight

Lady Wray – “Joy & Pain”

Born as Nicole Wray under the warm Californian sun, this soulful singer and songwriter started singing in her church choir after a move to Virginia. As a teen she auditioned for Missy Elliott, who signed her on her label The Goldmind Inc. She featured on the song “Gettaway” of Elliott’s album “Supa Dupa Fly” in 1997 and collaborated with her on her own debut single “Make It Hot” in 1998.

Following an evolution that turned a singer from the late 90s called Nicole into a modern R&B lady, her new single shows the ever on-going maturation of her music. Taken from her upcoming album “Piece Of Me”, expected on January 28th, it’s the suave smoothness of the piano, the silken soul of the guitars and her alluring vocals mixing 90s R&B with vintage soul, that fills this jam with pure joy.
