Top 10 RnB - 29/04/2022


 

NUMBER 1

Sol Morgan - Sex Appeal ft. Ethos The Rapper

Birmingham, United Kingdom


'Sex Appeal' is no stranger to TJPL News. Having impressed us last week, we highlighted this track at Number 2. This week, however, 'Sex Appeal' has come in to take the top spot in our Top 10 RnB finds. I had the pleasure of meeting with the producer behind this track today and I was impressed by his talent, story, and humble nature. He has created something extremely integral to the sound of Birmingham's RnB music scene and I cannot wait to hear the next projects from all of the creatives who were involved in this one! This week's post is more of an appreciation towards the producer rather than the vocalists so make sure that you check him out over on Insta @xtof_production

Zed, The Dreamer is the solo project of Portuguese singer-songwriter Zé Pedro Viveiros who takes inspiration from artitsts such as Bon Iver, Matt Corby, and Ben Howard. Zed, The Dreamer pursues a constant path of experimentation and self-discovery through his blend of indie, folk, and soul that feels understated yet intimate.He has a real rase and beautiful sound. He told us that this song is a homage to the feeling of ‘longing’, which means ‘Saudade’ in the artist's native tongue, Portuguese. ‘Saudade’ represents the feeling of missing something or someone in an immeasurable way, and it is deeply intertwined with the way Zed, The Dreamer, perceives the world and his emotions.

NUMBER 4

Helen - Morals

Silver Spring, United States


Independent artist Helen returns with ‘Morals’, a Pop R&B track with elements inspired by songs of the early 2000s. I THINK THIS ARTIST IS DOJA CAT'S TWIN. I'M ALWAYS DOWN FOR THIS TYPE OF ARTIST! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TRACK! Vastly different from her last single ‘Bitter Bitch’, an empowering Pop Funk track, ‘Morals’ explores the conflicting emotions that come with being blindly in love. In a statement Helen said "I wrote 'Morals' back in early February after coming across the main bass sample. I had been talking with a friend about how it would feel to be

so invested in someone that you would do

anything for them so I wanted to find a way to

write about that. It was really fun to write and

work on. " This is an absolute ESSENTIAL for fans of artists such as Doja Cat, I would actually think this was Doja if I hadn't known it wasn't. Great track!

NUMBER 6

The Art Crimes Band - Guy Like You

Cork, Ireland


'The Art Crimes Band' are a six-piece R&B/Soul band from Cork City, Ireland who after a decade of playing pubs and bars night after night decided to walk away from it all in 2020 and begin a new journey focusing solely on our own music. The origin story of ‘Guy Like You’ involves Grace McMahon's story regarding a dating app where she "was busily swiping left one summers night while sipping red wine pondering all things a guy has to be before she will go on a date with him." As a result, this amazing sultry, funk/soul track was born. Grace got it all off her chest, found her man and married him. You go girl! As a result, the band hit the recording studio. This is such a great band so make sure that you check it out by using the link below!



 

NUMBER 7

ASPEN - SPACE

New York City, United States


Aspen is no stranger to TJPL News, we reviews her 'SPACE' EP earlier week and decided that the whole EP decided a spot here too! Aspen is a singer-songwriter, and producer who recorded her latest EP 'SPACE' in her "little apartment in Chinatown NYC". She also produced and mixed her project - something many of us try to do but sometimes fail. Quoting Aspen the artist said that she "wanted the project to feel weightless, hence the name SPACE. At the same time, the lyrics are very personal to me, as I wrote them while navigating a troubled time in my relationship. We found ourselves searching for more SPACE, and wishing we might be able to go back in time." When asked for a quote the artist simply said "Come float with me" so I decided to give it go!



 

NUMBER 8

Nina Chiodin - Cherries And Pearls

Berlin, Germany

'Cherries And Pearls' was written last summer, when Nina experienced a sensation of love and admiration for someone like never before. This song is an expression of adoration, desire, and affection for a person. With the mostly steady bassline and drum pattern she wants to represent the safety she felt in her lover's arms. The vocal and harmony lines, as well as the mellow and gentle keys and guitar parts mimic the softness and tenderness of their love. This is a real beautiful song that is enhanced by the smoothness of the instrumental. REPEAT!! Click the link below to hear it. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Well done girl.

Lacañgan delivers nostalgic Michael Jackson vibes with his new single 'Cool'. Infused with Soulful vocals and R&B instrumentation, 'Cool' explores the vulnerability of being exposed to love. Lacañgan explained how he felt "closed up", no longer wanting to share his heart. However, once numb to love, Lacañgan conveys in 'Cool' the re-lit passion he found when taking a chance on love, paying off greatly. 'Cool' is set to "make history" Lacañgan (songwriter), Andre Taylor (songwriter), and Levester White (producer), all who contributed to the writing and recording process of the track. Lacañgan provides a unique sound, creating a "popular brand of pop and soul partnered with infectious melodies", being compared to artists such as Bruno Mars.
