Artistes of the Week:
Hi there! Welcome to yet another lovely week in the long days of January. It’s a week brimming with lovely new music and today we keep it light but sweet. Let’s dive in!
Kunmie: Solace
Starting off strong and soft, here’s Kunmie's latest single, ‘Solace’, a sombre and quiet soundtrack for losing yourself and finding your way back. “Solace” is a song about the quest for peace of mind and a search for identity and companionship. In a world that rarely slows down long enough to feel, it arrives as a pause, an intimate release that sits gently between grief and comfort.
As the rawness of his emotions prickles you, the vocals and the music completely soothe you, wrapping you in a dance of emotion and comfort. And as he sings, he expertly captures the feeling of floating, falling, and diving; every part of questioning and finding yourself; the process, the pitfalls, the doubt and the hope somehow that the one you make sacrifices for will remain the same, even when you lose it all. “Solace” is deep, comforting and a soft place to land, make sure to check it out!
Fathy Timzy: Empty arms
Fathy Timzy features Tomzy Vibez on his latest single “Empty Arms”,, a song about survival and a prayer to become something, to go far in life, and to give back to the ones who have set footstools for you to step on safely, have a better life. It’s an appreciation of his mother, who has struggled and worked hard to give him a good life, and a deep-seated desire to reciprocate this affection even more. He stays fervent and hopeful in his posture, constantly reminding himself that he must indeed be great. Check out “Empty Arms” today.
