Nia Smith ft. Destin Conrad – “Tough”

Brixton’s own Nia Smith releases “Tough” alongside friend and collaborator, Destin Conrad, on this smooth ballad touching on “men not needing to be so tough” – and neither does she.

Elemental and personal, the track captures the raw energy that defines her writing.

Kamal. ft. Keaton Henson – “no friend, no lover”

An amber-lit garage. A moonlit ground with flecks of light bouncing off damp leaves. And a beanie-topped Kamal. singing into a corded mic alongside collaborator and friend, guitarist Keaton Henson. Here, he lets us into the whisperings of his (lyrical) diary; pages that pen the confronting lyrics from his latest single “no friend, no lover”. It’s a folk-fused, country twanged, angsty, almost-ballad that confronts parasocial relationships, and the insincerity that often accompanies success.

Wonderland’s Summer ‘24 star Skyla Tylaa teams up with Afrobeats star Ruger and Afrohouse trailblazer Kitty Amor for “Mean 2 Me”, a cross-genre link-up born from a spontaneous late-night studio session in London.
