UK MUSIC: AYO FT ALEX MARTIN – ‘MIRACLE’

Check out rapper Ayo’s new single Miracle featuring new vocalist Alex Martin. Miracle will be released on the 15 May. I thought auto-tune had more or less been laid to rest but no it’s still alive and kicking! There is nothing original about this track. We’ve heard this kind of song before. But Miracle will get the air play and may become a chart hit because this type of sound is all the rage now.   Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK NEWS: INBETWEENERS WRITERS ‘INTERESTED IN CREATING SITCOM STARRING DIZZEE RASCAL’….

Pop Dash reports that writers from the hit Channel 4 show the Inbetweeners have expressed interest in writing a new comedy series starring Dizzee Rascal. A “source” apparently told tabloid rag The Sun (who seem to be huge “supporters” of any and everything “URBAN” these days) Damon and Iain like the idea of making a funny show about a rapper. Urban artists are usually portrayed in negative or bleak circumstances but they want to do something different. Dizzee is a big personality with loads of charisma and []

UK MUSIC: SELAH FT DONAEO – ‘OUT MY HOUSE’

UK songstress Selah is back with the new single Out My House featuring Donaeo. Selah has a good voice, she just needs to feature on a really well produced, unique, show stopping track, that will help catapult her to the next level.  A trip to New York/LA should be arranged so she can get the opportunity to work with some top notch producers there. However having said that Out My House isn’t a bad single but I don’t see it becoming a []

UK MUSIC: JAYA FT YOUNG SIMMONS AND WRETCH 32 – OUTTA CONTROL

I keep seeing Jaya’s name popping up on Twitter, but this is the first time I’ve listened to one of her tracks. Outta Control features Young Simmons (yes oldest son of the annoying Rev Run Simmons) and UK rapper Wretch 32.  Jaya has a pleasant enough voice but the song isn’t really my cup of tea.  I can however see it getting regular spins on BBC 1xtra. The video – well it’s not supposed to be funny…but it is. Your thoughts please. []

UK MUSIC: SNAKEYMAN – MAKING MOVES

Check out rapper/actor Snakeyman’s new single Making Moves, which features on the sound track for the new British movie “TERRY”. The video also features stars from the film. I like the track. It’s catchy and Snakeyman  has a decent flow. The only thing I don’t like is his name. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
