Following a string of buoyant, lively and romance-driven singles, Toronto’s newest Dancehall/Afro-fusion star, Lexxicon prepares to unveil the final chapter of his narrative series, the Tropicon Islands album.

The name of both a fictional Caribbean island and Lexxicon’s third studio album, avid fans will know that Tropicon Islands has been a recurring theme throughout this campaign run. First introduced to listeners in ‘Power Over Me’, this fictitious island paradise has been the setting for the story of two lovers that has been gradually unfolding over the last two single releases; ‘Power Over Me’ and ‘Back to You’ featuring Desiire.

Spurred on by overwhelmingly positive reviews from Pop and Dancehall lovers alike, Lexxicon has kept fans on their toes offering an eclectic array of sounds and textures; from the tropical vibes of his native Jamaica to the dynamic rhythms of Congo and beyond, this is an artist who truly embraces his roots and takes inspiration from his surroundings. Comfortable in a number of genres, Lexxicon is a multi-skilled, multi-genre artist who is sure to get hearts racing and bodies moving with the sounds of his newest album, Tropicon Islands.

“This is definitely my best body of work so far and I can’t wait for the world to hear what I have been putting together for the last 2 years”

Lexxicon

11-tracks long, Tropicon Islands is a tasty fusion of culture, concept and quality, delivering everything from epic dance breaks to romantic storylines, eye-catching music videos and irresistible club bangers. Not one to leave listeners wanting, the album release is also accompanied by the ‘Bubble Everywhere’ music video and Lexxicon’s eponymously named, self-authored fiction novel, also named Tropicon Islands, which is cleverly set to the soundtrack of the album.

Speaking on the latest story behind the concept of ‘Bubble Everywhere’, Lexxicon explains:

”After expressing their strong connection, the couple goes to explore the island and have some fun, partying with locals and each other. The song is the carefree party anthem to get you dancing, vibing and having a good time. It’s the perfect track to get any celebration started.”

Born in Jamaica and raised in the UK and US before settling in Toronto, Canada, Lexxicon has been blessed with a rich, varied culture and strong ties to his heritage that have come to greatly influence his sound, aesthetic and musical inspirations. Citing names such as Vybz Kartel, Stefflon Don and Wizkid as some of his favourite artists, it’s no surprise that Lexxicon’s music has found its core fanbase amongst the kids of the diaspora who share his love for the authentic flavours of their home countries as well as the modern sound and styles of the new cities that have adopted them. From London to Leamington and from Africa to the Caribbean and back, Lexxicon’s music does more than sound good, it transcends borders, unites cultures and brings people together.

John Summit, Echoes – Human (feat. Echoes)
(Spotify)

“This collaborative Melodic Techno masterpiece, just made our day with its rich melodic soundscapes and mesmerizing vocals. 100% dancing spirit guaranteed, while the desire to listen again reveals the advanced production skills of both artists. Congratulations!”

-Nagamag.com

Hailing from the hometown of House, Chicago’s John Summit has quickly shot to the upper echelons of dance music and now makes his debut on FFRR with his highly anticipated track, ‘Human’.

“Human is easily my most anticipated single to date. This record has taken months to perfect, and with it having over 100 different elements, my laptop has crashed many times during the process haha.” - John Summit

Over the last number of months, ‘Human’ has been captivating crowds everywhere with John Summit using it as a secret weapon within his sets. Now, sharing it with the rest of the world, ‘Human’ issues his masterful production techniques incorporating groove and percussion driven elements with rolling basslines. John’s has become renowned for his use of infectious vocals and in ‘Human’ he nurtures an emotive use of lyricism that reflects vulnerability as a human being.

“I’ve been getting really into song writing lately, rather than making just club tracks, and I feel like this track really displays both of those strengths for me which is why I’m so proud of it. When I first played this track at Club Space in Miami (even when it was just an early version) the reaction was insane, and I couldn’t believe it. People have been begging for this record ever since and I can’t wait to release it!” - John Summit

Summit soared in popularity across the globe following the release of ‘Deep End’ on Defected Records in 2020. The track became Beatport’s longest running No.1 of the year and Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune before landing on Radio 1’s main playlist. Since then, John Summit has gone on to release a series of ground-breaking originals on labels including D4 Dance and Insomniac which also both sat at the top of Beatport Charts. John’s prolific output has resulted him in over 3 million monthly Spotify listeners and elevated him to the highest-selling artist across all genres on Beatport over the last 12 months.

John Summit’s mark on the dance scene has been nothing short of monumental and ‘Human’ is assured to continue him on his upward trajectory.

Madison – Without You Tonight
(Spotify)

“High quality song that remains in memory for a long time, leaving a bright flame in the soul. The sound arrangement is quite strong and also memorable. There is a special style that keeps you active and captures all your attention.”

“Очень качественная песня, которая остаётся в памяти надолго, оставляя в душе яркое пламя. Сильная аранжировка, насыщенная и запоминающаяся. Есть свой особенный стиль, который держит в напряжение и концентрирует на себе всё своё внимание.”

-Nagamag.com

Australian pop singer-songwriter Madison shares her latest single ‘Without You Tonight’ out now on all streaming platforms.

‘Without You Tonight’ showcases Madison at her most vulnerable. She has used this single as a way to release her pent up emotions from previous toxic relationships to create a song that is beautifully relatable.

Talking about the single Madison says, “Being vulnerable, open and trusting isn’t something that comes easily to me, and feeling reliant on someone else makes me extremely uncomfortable. I wanted to challenge myself, to figure out why & maybe do some healing – what better way to do that than to write a damn song! & in the process of writing WYT, I became unafraid of those feelings. I’m a strong believer in just going for things in life, asking for what you want & taking a risk. And I think the best way to turn something into a power is to claim it and own it.

After toxic romantic situations in my past, I’d learned to be super nonchalant & hide my feelings. This song is me breaking down that wall & being honest. I’ll also say, there was definitely someone I had feelings for behind the inspo. At the end of the day, I just wanted to create a passionate & honest love song. You only live once. Be wild, open and honest when you’re in love.”

‘Without You Tonight’ came to life in Madison’s home studio in Canberra. She wrote, recorded and arranged the demo of the track there herself. In the intimate and cosy studio, she spent hours deep into the night laying down the melody and lyrics and layering harmonies for the song. It was one of several demos in a playlist of ideas she sent to producer Oliver Lundstrom to work on, and they both felt this track would be the perfect track to introduce Madison to the world.

Up-and-coming Australian Pop sensation Madison is ready to bewitch you with her enchantingly powerful voice, and a wicked skill for crafting catchy, soul-stirring melodies. For six years, this young Recording Artist and Songwriter has been travelling the globe, collaborating with writers & producers from LA to London, Amsterdam to Stockholm - writing pop songs for herself and other artists, finding her voice & honing her skill.

Her bold European-like sound is influenced by the drama of cinematic orchestra, 80's rock band anthemic melodies, a hint of unapologetic electronic Artpop like Lady Gaga - and wild soundscapes akin to Florence + the machine. Outside of writing, recording and arranging her own music, she works with writer and producer Oliver Lundstrom (James Arthur, producer X Factor UK, Faouzia) to bring her striking universal tunes to life. She made her Debut last year with her first single ‘Indiana’, followed by the powerful ballad ‘What Did I Do to You’, which lead her to be selected as a Semi-Finalist for the 2020 International Songwriting Competition (both tracks produced by Oliver Lundstrom, and written & recorded by Madison).

Camille Harris, David Linard – The Nearness of You
(Spotify)

“Music that is harmoniously alternating with lyrical, thoughtful vocals. That so romantic, sincere and sensual melody won't leave anyone indifferent. We choose to listen such songs with our eyes closed, in order to feel all their peace and serenity.”

“Подобная музыка гармонично чередуется с лирическим, вдумчивым вокалом. Мелодия настолько романтичная, искренняя и чувственная, что не оставит равнодушным никого. Такие произведения хочется слушать с закрытыми глазами, чтобы ощутить всю их лёгкость и безмятежность.”

-Nagamag.com

This is a classic jazz song by Hoagy Carmichael that we recorded at the very end of another session at Big Orange Sheep in Brooklyn. It was an intimate and special time.

After supporting Gregory Porter at The Royal Albert Hall, GEORGIA CÉCILE is set to share her hypnotic new single ‘BITTERSWEET’

Georgia Cécile – Bittersweet (out on Warner/ADA now)

Taken from the top 3 selling album ‘Only The Lover Sings’: https://ada.lnk.to/Georgia-Cecile

One of Jazz’s hottest new prospects, singer/songwriter Georgia Cécile is building a reputation as one of the UK’s one to watch talents. Off the back of a whirlwind couple of months which has seen the Scottish artist release her debut album to critical acclaim and support Gregory Porter on four of his shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, she’s now set to release her latest single taken from the album.

Showcasing her long-term songwriting partnership with award-winning pianist/composer Euan Stevenson, ‘Bittersweet’ is an emotive hypnotic song that explores the tensions of a volatile yet deeply passionate romantic relationship. Lyrically, the song uses the dark, vast ocean as a metaphor for the hazards of love as Georgia laments “Lost in reeds, we drift with the tide”. The song deploys rich cinematic strings and a mesmeric piano riff that emulates the ebb and flow of the tide, the lush instrumentation framing Cécile’s supple vocals, the poetic lyricism and modal melodies always the focal point.

Tipped as ‘One To Watch’ by BBC Introducing and Jazz FM, Cécile’s debut album “Only The Lover Sings”, released in September, topped the Official UK Jazz Album charts at No.3 and has been championed by the likes of Jamie Cullum and Gregory Porter in recent weeks. The album, which is enjoying its 7th week in the top 30 is influenced by the likes of Nancy Wilson and Stevie Wonder, whilst Cécile also sites contemporaries like; Melody Gardot and Celeste as inspiration for her sound. Tracks from the album have been featured in major playlists at Spotify, Apple and Amazon and has been nominated for ‘Album of the Year’ at the 2021 Scottish Jazz Awards.

‘Bittersweet’ follows other singles from the project including; ‘Come Summertime’, ‘He Knew How To Love’ and ‘Always Be Right’ – which have picked up plenty of media support ranging from BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing and Jazz FM to The Independent and Wonderland Magazine. Also this year, Georgia marked International Women’s Day by performing live for the BBC’s Jazz Nights show and she was included in Jazzwise’s ‘Women In Jazz’ feature that day.

Cécile’s UK 2021 album tour includes some of her biggest shows to date: the opening Gala for the prestigious London Jazz Festival at The Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre with the Guy Barker Orchestra, her sold out debut at the infamous Ronnie Scotts, and Edinburgh’s famous Queen’s Hall which will be her official album launch concert.
