Shirazee feat. Sarz - African in New York

Born in Benin, schooled in Ghana, pulled into the bustle of the UK, South Africa and Paris, singer-songwriter Shirazee found himself in Atlanta with nothing but trialing experiences and a dream of fracturing the juggernaut that is the rap industry. Though vitally settled in the city that bled rap music, a new path would take shape that would soon define his career. That path was songwriting. Though ingrained in his DNA through countless years of artistry, surrendering the pen to the needs of other artists was uncharted territory. This soon led to his departure from the city that represented what seemed like his lifelong dream to the city that sculpts, chisels and molds it. While opportunity was deep-seated in the concrete arms of the rigorous goliath, New York tested Shirazee’s resilience. Overcoming homelessness he soon signed his first publishing deal and found himself at the helm of songs by artists like Sting, Afrojack, Ty Dolla $ign, Girl’s Generation to name a few, While vindicating and fruitful, these opportunities were outweighed by the pendulum that swung in the direction of his undying dream of domineering the stage.

Atrocity - Sound of Silence

 Atrocity es una banda de heavy metal alemana, procedente de Ludwigsburg. comenzó siendo una banda de death metal melódico. Su debut discográfico se dio en 1989 con el EP Blue Blood, seguido de un álbum conceptual sobre el uso de drogas llamado Hallucinations. Su segundo álbum, Todessehnsucht ("Hambre de muerte"), los depositó directamente en el death metal. Este álbum incluía un cover de la canción "Archangel" de la banda Death. Su género musical varió a lo largo de los años, hasta llegar al descubrimiento de influencias sobre lo medieval y el terror en su álbum conceptual basado en el mito del Conde Dracula, Atrocity's Blut, llamado así a partir de la película Drácula de 1994. Su siguiente álbum, Calling The Rain, fue un álbum con voces femeninas y temas acústicos.​ El lanzamiento de 1996, Willenskraft, introdujo elementos industriales, y el CD bonus de la edición especial del álbum (Kraft und Wille) incluyó versiones electrónicas de los temas. Sus siguientes lanzamientos fueron cada vez menos influenciados por el metal: Werk 80 incluyó versiones de clásicos de los 80's llevando a la banda a experimentar con sonidos ajenos al metal y a dar un paso adelante en la evolución conceptual de la agrupación alejándolos de los clichés típicos del metal extremo. De esta forma los cambios de géneros y las canciones experimentales (como las versiones de Lili Marlene) generaron el alejamiento de la banda de varios de sus fanes. Luego del año 2000, se supo poco de Atrocity, dando la impresión que la banda se había separado. A pesar de esto, volvieron luego de cuatro años con un nuevo disco, Atlantis. Este fue nuevamente un álbum conceptual, basado en los mitos del continente hundido de Atlantis. El álbum incluyó las voces de la esposa de Alexander, Liv-Kristine Espanaes Krull (cantante de Theatre of Tragedy). Atrocity participó en el soundtrack de la película Watchmen, con su cover de la canción Sound of Silence de Simon & Garfunkel.

Alfie Templeman - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Alfie George Templeman (born 26 January 2003) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. In 2016, he began recording and releasing demos at the age of 13. Templeman made his professional solo debut in 2018 and has released four extended plays since then. He describes his sound as "indie R&B" and often draws inspiration from the experiences of others, such as characters from TV shows.

Templeman was born in Carlton, Bedfordshire. He cites the area as an influence on his music.

Templeman grew up around his father's collection of guitars and his sister, whose musical talents included playing the piano and trumpet. Templeman has stated this is what "[drew him] into the world of music".

At the age of seven, he developed an interest in drums and received his first guitar at age eight. Until then, he'd taught himself how to play his father's left-handed guitars upside down. Self-taught at everything apart from drums, Templeman began recording at home and making CDs with his friends at age ten. By the time he turned 13, he had already acquired a fair understanding of music production software on his own and began working on creating full-length tracks. His mother encouraged him to sing. Templeman transitioned from producing simple instrumentals to fully-formed compositions.

In 2018, Templeman recorded and released his debut single "Orange Juice", followed soon after by his debut EP, Like an Animal, released in October 2018 by Chess Club Records. Templeman wrote, performed and recorded his debut EP Like an Animal in his bedroom after school. Before signing with Chess Club, Templeman would upload his music on Spotify and was noticed when he featured on their "Discover Weekly" playlist.

After completing his GCSEs, Templeman left high school in 2019 at 16 years old to pursue a full-time music career.

Following the success of his debut, Templeman released his second EP, Sunday Morning Cereal, in June 2019 and his third EP, Don't Go Wasting Time, later that same year.

In April 2019, Templeman performed at the O2 Academy Brixton supporting Sundara Karma and has also supported Sports Team on their UK tour and played the Five Day Forecast and Eurosonic Noorderslag in 2020. In January 2020, Templeman started his first mini-tour, with first performing at Headrow House in Leeds, on the 17th January, before selling out his first London headline show at Colours, Hoxton. His 2020 single "Happiness in Liquid Form" was added to rotation on Australian youth broadcaster Triple J. Templeman's 2020 single "Forever Isn't Long Enough" was released on 28 September 2020, and launched with a third consecutive Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1. Templeman singles "Happiness in Liquid Form" and "Obvious Guy" both earned a space on the Radio 1 C List.

In an interview with Headliner Magazine in 2021, Templeman said of his single "Everybody's Gonna Love Somebody": “I'm just doing it in my room; I'm a normal bloke just making a bit of a tune. It's literally just been me messing around, really; I'm not a professional at it at all. I just know how to piece it together enough to make it not sound like a bunch of noise!"

In November 2020, he was shortlisted as a finalist for MTV Push UK & IRE 2021 for best upcoming artists.

On 3 November 2021, Templeman released the single "3D Feelings", produced by Justin Young of The Vaccines. This was followed by the release of "Broken" in 2022, alongside the announcement of his debut studio album, Mellow Moon, which was released on 27 May through Chess Club Records.
