Jelani Blackman today unveils the video for his latest single ‘Izit’, featuring Kojey Radical. “Like the song, this video is a comment on our consistently more dystopian society”, says Blackman. “People are always being watched, just snapshots of data, while we’re also beginning to see AI impacting on the physical environment we live in – how things are advertised and designed. It’s a direction that raises a lot of questions for the future”.
The Japanese House has released new single ‘Boyhood’. “This song talks about how sometimes, however hard you try, you can’t help but be a product of the things that happened to you or held you back earlier on in life”, she says. ”But also, and more importantly, it’s about hope for overcoming those things”.
Tapeworms have released new single ‘IRL’. The band are set embark on a UK tour in May, including a show at Strongroom in London on 10 May.
Paige Kennedy has released ‘He Is’, the latest single from their upcoming EP ‘Doubles’, which is out on 14 Apr. Kennedy will support Nimmo At The Lower Third in London on 19 Apr.
