Look out for James Smith’s new track Tell Me That You Love Me. In the vein of John Legend’s All Of Me, it sounds like an adult contemporary smash. The UK singer-songwriter released his debut EP Little while the title track garnered over 3 million streams. The latest track which was co-written and produced by James was inspired by a heartbreak. James reveals, “It was inspired by my first heartbreak, something I didn’t want to happen but it was inevitable, it’s the story of our last couple of days together, ‘pretending it’s all alright’. Hearing the band & gospel choir for the first time completely blew my mind”. Give it a stream.

Kings favorite Dan Crossley dropped a new track Call Back. Having clocked nearly 500k streams and the attention of tastemakers, his latest track blends pop, R&B, and soul. Crossley says, “Call Back was written about that situation we’ve all been in; waiting for someone you’re interested in to call you back, but they never do. The track focuses on longing to hear their voice and wondering what could have been.” The 23 year old also notes that if he could go back in time, it would be in the golden age of pop. “I would definitely love to head back to the 90’s – Pop music has never been the same!” Check it out!

I’m really liking the track Voice by YO//NGOPT/MIST. The group formed when Andy Brooks (former Vocalist for Transmit Now) asked Shohn (former Vocalist for Repel The Robot) to produce a few demos for him in the Winter of 2016. Now the duo are creating ear worms, blending rock, alternative, and pop. The latest track has the chorus that would crush radio in the nineties, but indie rock artists doesn’t write these choruses on anymore, well, except these guys. Give it stream!
