Yussef Dayes & Chronixx - Pon Di Plaza

Yussef Dayes' highly anticipated debut album 'Black Classical Music' dropped earlier this month, and it's safe to say it's worth the wait. Featuring the likes of Tom Misch, Masego and Jamilah Barry, the project feels like a beautiful, refreshing and modern take on Jazz in 2023... the highlight for me though comes in the form of 'Pon Di Plaza' with Chronixx. Chronixx said that the song "reflects on the family’s journey over the years from Spanish to the astral realms." - a beautiful song, that will no doubt be a future classic.

Lester Clayton - Wouldn't Change Nothing

Official visuals for the uplifting new single from the wonderfully talented and unique Lester Clayton, a singer/songwriter based in North London.

As Lester explains: "Whenever I walked to work, this man would remind me that no matter how hard life is, you can always dance in the rain. His name is Mark, and you may have seen him on the London Underground, or on Wood Green High Road. If you see him, give him some change, because he brings something real and positive to all of us."

Keep smiling, keep being yourself.
