In The Spotlight

Ogi – “Envy”

Born and raised in Wisconsin, this Nigerian-American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist grew up playing viola and singing in a jazz choir. She went on to experiment with piano and guitar and performed in an acapella group at University. Now Los Angeles-based and inspired by Mary Mary, Marvin Gaye and Nina Simone, she debuted her own soulful sound on “I Got It” last month.

Described by her as a persona love letter to haters in her life, her sophomore single makes a lyrical statement and wraps it in warm, opulent nostalgia. With smooth vibes blending classic soul with a touch of mellow jazz, it’s the gentle piano, soft percussion and soothing harmonies that create an ear-stroking melody. And with her feathery vocals, this luscious tune will have you lusting for more.

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.
