HANNAH'S YARD  
Beginnings

Today see's the release of 'Beginnings', the debut album from HANNAH'S YARD

Hannah Layton Turner is the driving force behind the band, at still only 20 years old, she has been singing professionally since her early teens.

 Musically, her style is a real melting pot covering an array of genres from pop to jazz, folk to country, the delicate yet strong vocals, that have been compared to the likes of NORAH JONES & KATIE MELUA, always being a distinct feature of every one of the 14 tracks featured. 

 A perfect example of her sound can be heard on the single 'Why Would I Know'
Songs from the album have already gained plays on Radio 2 and as a BBC Introducing artist have been heard across all BBC local radio.

 Check out the beautiful 'Close Enough'


After hearing their own version of his song ‘How Wonderful You Are’, HANNAH'S YARD were also personally invited to join legendary British singer/songwriter GORDON HASKELL on his current tour, not only as support but to collaborate on stage too.

New Music: FIFi RONG (@FifiRong) - The Same Road

FIFi RONG

The Same Road


Hot on the heels of her triumphant SXSW 2017 showcases and just ahead of her forthcoming appearance at The Great Escape comes the brand new single from FIFI RONG.

 'The Same Road' is a slight departure from some of her earlier material, with it's clear nod to the alternative electric 80's. Although upbeat in it's sound, the lyrical content is, as she describes, a darker 'emotional cocktail of vulnerability and strengths' 

 You can listen to the single here




'The Same Road' will be released on 16 June 2017 via AWAL and will be available in all major online stores and streaming platforms

Confirmed forthcoming Live Shows:

19.05.17 - The Great Escape - The Arch
13.6.17 - Single Launch Show - The Waiting Room, Stoke Newington
5.7.17 - Wilderness Festival - Love Hotel Stage

New Music: MALAIKA (@malaikamusicuk) - Stop For A Minute

MALAIKA
Stop For A Minute 



'Stop For A Minute' is the second official single from Belfast born MALAIKA. 

It's another slice of the cool jazzy soulful pop that we've already come to expect after previous release 'I Don't Feel The Same' debuted earlier this year. If you're a fan of the likes of CORINNE BAILEY RAE then this is definitely for you. 

2016 was a good year for the Leeds based singer/songwriter after winning ‘Best Jazz/Blues Act’ at the Unsigned Music Awards then followed by a support slot on fellow soulful vocalist JONES on her UK tour. She also received radio love from both JAMIE CULLUM & HUW STEPHENS as well as featuring on BBC INTRODUCING

On the strength of these releases, it looks as if 2017 is going to be even better.

Listen to 'Stop For A Minute' here




 We recently caught MALAIKA playing acoustically at a new music night, Brixton Rooftop Soul Club hosted by NATALIE DUNCAN, and managed to capture this incredible live rendition of the track

New Music: BEE BAKARE (@bee_bakare) - Brighter EP

BEE BAKARE
Brighter EP



'Brighter' not only describes BEE BAKARE's smile on the cover but is also the title of her forthcoming EP.

Nigeria born but raised in Bath, the singer/songwriter has been honing her craft from an early age and to date has already released one further EP, her debut self titled set from 2015.

Since then she's come to London and has been a regular live performer, racking up over 200 live appearances in 2016 alone, picking up a few awards along the way.

More recently she has launched her own live music night that features the best in acoustic female soul talent SOUL STRIPPED SESSIONS (as previously featured here)

Her style is classic but also adds her own unique flavour to it. She can just as easily perform with a band or solo acoustically. Her deep soulful voice can be at times be likened to that of TONI BRAXTON but also with the folk elements of her ultimate inspiration TRACY CHAPMAN.

The first track to be taken from the new set was 'Waiting To Happen' which was released as a single late last year to critical acclaim


The title track of the EP 'Brighter' is a great opener with it's singalong quality, elsewhere her more sensitive side is on display on cuts like 'Best Shot' and closing track 'Love Like A Wave'

Watch BEE as she discusses the EP in this new preview video



The EP is available to pre-order now here both digitally and as a limited edition signed cd

BEE BAKARE will also be officially celebrating the release with an EP launch show at Notting Hill Arts Club on release day April 26th. For information visit the Facebook event page and everything else go to

New Music: ROSE GRAY (@rosegrayworld) - Morning Blues

ROSE GRAY
Morning Blues

ROSE GRAY is back, very much with a bang, with a brand new single.

First on our radar a couple of years ago, without even a release to her name, the then 19 year old singer/songwriter made a splash on the live scene in 2015 but almost as quickly seemed to disappear.

However she may have been quiet but the East London girl has been working on her music and the first fruits of her labour is also her first official single.

'Morning Blues', which she also co-wrote, is that song. It highlights her blue eyed soulful vocals (kind of somewhere between Adele & Paloma Faith) with it's clear 60's influences and has an orchestral theme tunes sounding backing that can only be described as BOND-esque.

If you like your music shaken but not stirred then check out the song and it's new video below



 There is an EP and and a full album due before the end of the year but for now 'Morning Blues', released on AVNU Records, is available here
