Pat speaks his mind.
The songwriter s skewed take on British life seems to capture the absurdity of the everyday, while leaving out none of the beauty.
Gathering an army of fans, his sound - indie meets rap, pop meets DIY - is completely his own, and it seems that people fall for his originality.
With a colossal WhatsApp group hinging on his every word and a huge TikTok channel, Pat has stepped outside ordinary channels to get his voice heard.
Now he s ready to take another step forwards. New single White Air Forces is out now, and it s trademark Pat - all down-at-home lyricism, focussing on the imperfections of life .
Jessica Wilde speaks her truth.
The soulful UK riser uses music to connect with her feelings, to remove herself from the outside world and explore her inner depths.
A flurry of singles put her on the R&B map, with new release BODY oozing confidence.
A song about self-love and self-empowerment, it finds Jessica shrugging off the attention of teasing men who only want something physical.
Aiming to locate something deeper on her own terms, BODY is a seductive jewel from the R&B voice.
Jessica Wilde purrs: “If all you want is my body, then imma find somebody, who wants no body but me.”
Luke Royalty is speaking his truth.
The lyricist writes from the heart, reflecting his surroundings - he s a working class voice, someone who grew up in a completely different universe from the metropolitan capitol.
New single I Do dips into his Northern heritage, with Luke embracing his accent, his surroundings, and the culture that propels him.
Recorded alongside friend and long time collaborator Bob Mackenzie at Motor Museum studios in Liverpool, it s a potent reminder that the world doesn t begin and end at the Watford Gap.
Out now, the video for I Do was shot in his Darlington hometown, with childhood friend and director Edward Andrew Harper tracing a path around old haunts.
In case the pandemic hadn t made this clear enough, they do things differently in New Zealand.
In fact, some would say better. Just look at the country s music scene - chock full of free-thinkers, mavericks, and wayward souls doing it their own way.
Merk is the music moniker of Mark Perkins, an Auckland multi-instrumentalist whose worked alongside Tom Lark and Futuredaze.
Focussing on his own pop-edged indie brew, recent singles H.N.Y.B. and GOD alerted fans to his solitary prowess, with those off piste lyrical observations setting him out from the pack.
