Taydem Shoesmith is an incredible artist who has a burning passion for music, singing, acting, song writing and even dancing! She has always had this love, stemming from listening to her dad sing from such a young age. This then grew into her own devotion towards singing.

Taydem has just released a new single, “Are You Clapping,” at the end of 2022, and it is undoubtedly a good one!

This is an electro-pop/dance hit, that is full of energy, but has some deeper meanings too. The beat is quite hard and upbeat, the kind that will get you bopping your head along to it. The electric music is honestly so good, and I cannot fault it at all.

Taydem also has an extremely melodic, yet powerful voice, that is incredibly soothing to listen to. It is unquestionable how good her voice and harmonies truly are. She seems to sing about a really important subject of society, love, and toxicity.

Go give the sweet-sounding Taydem Shoesmith a little listen to, and you will definitely find yourself more than pleasantly surprised. You can find “Are You Clapping?” on many musical platforms, including Spotify and YouTube, now!

Mark Wink has just recently released his newest, amazing single, “The Light” and I cannot wait to see your opinions on this one!

Let’s kick this off with who is Mark Wink? Mark Wink is a singer-songwriter, composer, producer and a storywriter! He creates music that tends to be very cinematic and have such surreal feelings.

“The Light” creates very astrological energy, that makes us feel like we are in outer space. The music has an intense beat to it, with crazy basslines that really add to that another dimension feel.

Additionally, Mark adds an angelic voice throughout the song, and this automatically adds to that mysterious and dark side.

This is the kind of that tack that just sweeps you off your feet and forces you into another world, somewhere surreal and unusual. This is such a great feeling, and it is something you do not get to experience often.

Before this track, I had never heard of Mark Wink and his music, but I must say I am so intrigued to see what other cinematic, euphoric music he has created.

You can find “The Light” across all music platforms, with a music video to accompany it on YouTube!

Kervo Frank is a new, young artist who is pushing his way to the top with his amazing music! “Batman” is Kervo Frank’s latest single, and it is the ultimate rap hit!

“Batman” is extremely interesting and is more unique than the majority of modern-day music, and it is great! The song kicks off very mysteriously and then jumps into some hard rap from Kervo. His rapping has got to be one of the best I have ever heard, and I am so intrigued to see what else he can do. He also included some amazing vocals in the back which really give the song some more power!

This is another one of those rap tracks that has a similar beat throughout the song, but this one is incredibly catchy. The pumpy basslines are a really important factor in “Batman” and I honestly could listen to it all day!

All thought there are a lot of rap artists out there already, there is definitely enough room for Kervo Frank. I cannot wait to hear what else he has in store for us in the future!

Justine Sletten is an amazing, female artist who definitely needs more recognition. She has just released her hit “Dandelion” and it is just the ultimate country song!

The melodic, soft track, enable us to sit back and relax whilst enjoying some amazing music. Each and every verse and chorus are compact with complete greatness!

The actual music is incredible with a nice beat, and band sound. The drumbeat is fairly soft, yet it will still get you dancing along to the track, as it builds up to a chorus’ climax.

I mean I think we can all agree that Justine’s vocals are completely and utterly wonderful! Her melodies and harmonies create such a lovely, warm feeling, and make this song so nice to listen to. I personally think we could even describe her vocals as angelic!

Justine has also released a nice lyric video to accompany her song on YouTube as well! Go give “Dandelion” a little listen to now, and I guarantee you will find yourself a lover of Justine and her music!

ZIP Leathers in a musician, producer, audio engineer and artist who combines different cultures and genres together to create some amazing music! He is known for making music based on things he has previously experienced, and heard a lot of artists like Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye when he was growing up. ZIP makes a lot of R&B style tracks, stemming from 1980’s rhythm and blues and neo-soul music.

“Loveland” is a track that was released back in 2021 but is still amazing to this day! For this one, there are two different types, the radio edit and the full version which is slightly longer.

From the moment I heard this song, I was in love! “Loveland” is truly the ultimate R&B track and listening to it almost takes you into another dimension. The beat is simple but extremely contagious and really gets you moving along to it.

It is undoubtable that the vocals in this track are fantastic! His voice is incredibly soothing and talented, making it so lovely to listen to. There is also backing-vocals present which really add to the song, highlighting his own voice.

Calling all rap and hip-hop fans! If you find yourself to be one these, then read on a little bit!

Proklaim have just released their newest single, “Priceless” and I got to say it is amazing!

“Priceless” is a nice, laid-back rap, yet melodic track, that just gets you falling in love with Proklaim and his music. His music has similarities to other artists such as Tupac, Jay-Z and Big Pu, but he definitely creates his own sound.

One thing that I absolutely love about this track is that it is the perfect mixture of hard rap and lyrical singing. The rap is fantastic, and I must say Proklaim is super talented. However, the more melodic choruses, are a lovely break away from the rap, and get you ready for the next verse.

Proklaim is definitely an artist who deserves more credit, and it should be instead of asking who Proklaim is, we should be asking when is his next song being released!

Go give “Priceless” a little listen to, you can find it on multiple musical platforms now!

So, who is M-Dot? Well, M-Dot is an independent musician and singer-songwriter who has been in the music industry for over two decades! He is a very hip-hop/rap-based artist, who is able to write his own songs, produce them and also perform live! You will often find him writing about his own personal experiences and things that are important to him, giving his music a much deeper meaning.

“One Day At A Time” is a single of M-Dot’s for which he has teamed up with Mary Lankford and was released back in 2021. This is a very underground rap style of song but is extremely interesting. The beat is quite relaxed but still manages to get you bopping your head to it.

M-Dot does some exceptional rapping in the verses and Mary Lankford takes on the role of more melodic choruses. This is the perfect combination, and you will find yourself loving both of the artists just as much as I do!

Rap fan or not, give M-Dot and his hit “One Day At A Time” a listen to and you will definitely not regret it!

Since first hearing this track, I have not been able to turn it off! The music is quite upbeat and will make you want to dance along to it!

The vocals in this one are mainly male, and his voice is the perfect fit for this one! He has such a contagious voice, which just makes the song even more enjoyable.

Eagle Owl is a Canadian artist, who creates music inspired from genres such as hip-hop and R&B. His music often touches on relatable content, hard-hitting topics, and life lessons. Eagle Owl has previously created songs that are about abuse and pain, and how God helped him through it.

He has already done shows in Winnipeg for the past few years but is eager to expand his following. Due to his music being of R&B and hip-hop origin, Eagle Owl takes influence from artists such as Kamban, TFK, 12AM and Josh A.

Anyway, now Eagle Owl has arrived again with another great new EP, “INFINITY”. This collection has just dropped at the start of 2023, and I must say it is amazing! “INFINITY” is a five-track long EP and is honestly so worth listening to!

The first song on “INFINITY” is a track that has already been released and had so much recognition called “LET GO”. This song is amazing, and really gets you moving your body. The beat is incredibly catchy, and the vocals are unique, yet so good! This is one of those songs you could listen to on repeat all day!

For me, my favourite track has got to be the fourth one! “Blacktop (Abuse ll)” is the outcome of a collaboration between Eagle Owl and Droryboy. This song is the perfect hip-hop hit with inclusions of rap too! The two artists combine exceptionally well, and this track undoubtedly deserves so much credit!

In reality, five tracks are just not enough! I am completely obsessed with “INFINITY” and you should definitely give it a go, because it is amazing! If you find yourself to be a fan of hip-hop then you MUST give Eagle Owl’s music a listen to, as it is just perfect for hip-hop/rap fans!

Mars Valencia was born in South London and has spent the past four years learning about music and its production. His music is self-produced, and he has high hopes for the future. And with his ambitious, hard-working attitude, Mars Valencia has just released a new single called “Last Night In Lisboa” and I have to say it is amazing!

“Last Night In Lisboa” is the perfect, chilled rap track, that is full of outstanding rapping, brilliant music, and a great production. It is undoubtable that Mars’ rapping, and vocalism is fantastic, and I don’t know about you but when I hear his voice, it seems to have a soothing effect on me.

Another thing I love about this tune is the music. The beat is hard, yet relaxed and has a very catchy tone to it, making the track even more lovable. Although there is not much change in the music during the song, the vocals take over and let us really appreciate his voice.

If you find yourself a fan of rap or hip-hop, then be sure to give Mars Valencia’s new track a little listen to, and I promise you will love it!
