Interviews


Leicestershire duo Vona Vella (Izzy Davis and Dan Cunningham) release their highly anticipated debut EP 'Go Outside Forever', along with the official video for the title track.

Their poetic lyricism allows them to be versatile as well as vulnerable throughout the whole narrative of the EP.


Go Outside Forever Tracklist:

1. Driving to L.A.

2. Threading Needles

3. Sun

4. Rainy Days

5. Go Outside Forever

6. Fool in Love with Me



Title track 'Go Outside Forever' gives us a soft-jazz vibe, Vona Vella explain the track: “It speaks about how not everyone needs to be out their comfort zone to be content. Many people are happy to stay comfortable, and not be constantly working to perfection, and that's okay.” A side of life that is obvious yet looked down upon perhaps when it shouldn't be.



‘Driving to LA’ is accompanied with a super stylish 60's inspired visual. This song is catchy and upbeat kick starting the story in the EP. The bright vocals and visuals are irresistible and drag you into their lives to want more.


Bringing it to the next track 'Threading Needles', this emotive ballad brings Izzy's vocals to the front. This song touches on the more vulnerable side of Vona Vella, they'll definitely be threading our hearts back together after this one. They explain 'Threading Needles' as: “feeling as if you're treading on egg shells around someone who is going through a hard time. Tending to their unpredictable behaviour, trying to tip toe around a sensitive conversation that needs to happen.”


The EP has no doubt in showing us Vona Vella's versatility with next track 'Sun'. The beat built bassline and harmonic vocals let us straight into their stories. Contrasting track ‘Rainy Days’ marks the moment of realisation that you’ve done all you can to help someone, and the only way they can get through their struggles is if they solve them on their own. Accompanied by another astonishing visual (below). 'Fools in Love with Me' finalises the EP with both their soft lulling vocals over guitar picking notes. This touching track made us emotional that's for sure! It is the perfect closing sound, almost as if it should be accompanied by people slow dancing in a ballroom.





“The whole EP was recorded at Albion Rooms with sound engineer Jason Stafford and producer Mike Moore. Both Mike and Jason are really fantastic at their jobs and a pleasure to work with, the EP wouldn't be what it is without them.” - Vona Vella

DEJA sets the record straight with feisty new single 'Mulan' in 2022.


West London artist originally from Solihull, Birmingham is back with her R&B-pop infused music, a favourite for fans. This track speaks the truth on being a powerful woman, it's giving me main character vibes. It's easy to consume these lyrics over and over again from the seductive songstress so you better start listening now...



“Much like Mulan, DEJA will ignore all rules to stand up for what she believes in. Long story short, don’t get in a bad b****** way. As kindred spirits, DEJA’s new single ‘Mulan’ reiterates what you already know; DEJA is the main character and you better treat her as such.” - DEJA


Starting her career at 14, DEJA began singing, writing and performing as well as taking

to stages for her school talent shows - music was a second language for this bourgeoning

artist from the very beginning.


DEJA is living proof of speaking your truth to create lyrical masterpieces.

This single is the first release after DEJA's EP 'Intro' in 2021, still capturing people's hearts, 2022 is going to be groundbreaking for this singing sensation.

South African-born, Germany-raised, and Toronto-based singer, songwriter and producer WizTheMc releases his EP 'Where Silence Feels Good'.

This EP touches on themes he has experienced over the past year and a half, from dating to heartbreak and continued soul searching moments. Focus track, 'Premature Love', is influenced by real life where sometimes premature confidence in relationships doesn't always work out for the best.. maybe a bit of an awkward moment. This upbeat tune with WizTheMc's narrative lyrics has us singing over and over, we can't get it out of our heads.



“Where Silence Feels Good ironically came together in a time where silence was almost completely absent in my life,” says Wiz. “While making this EP, I left my former home of 4 years in Toronto and tried to find solid ground in Los Angeles, which was a challenge to say the least. Throughout this 7-song project I cover all the themes I encountered within the past 1.5 half years during that process: dating, butterflies, heartbreak and continued soul searching." - WizTheMc



His career hit speed during summer of 2020, when his peppy love song 'For A Minute' became a major online hit, following his signing with Elliot Grainge’s 10K Projects and Homemade Projects. It’s since racked up over 86 million global streams as well features on Greys Anatomy, Facebook Messenger and the Netflix-original movie 'He’s All That'.


Tracklist


1. Everything

2. Premature Love

3. Break

4. Do It Over

5. Stoned Nights

6. Like That (feat. Sam Austins)

7. Empty Handed


This prodigious singer songwriter is proving his points through some of the most catchy songs we've heard.
