Brocarde is the creator of an enchanting world where dark, haunting aesthetics meet passion-fuelled lyrics and design. Her latest single "Identity Theft" was produced by Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars). Brocarde is a dynamic storyteller who marries both music and fashion in an orchestral explosion, designed to make the ears and eyes bleed. A one-woman horror story, if centuries aligned, Brocarde could almost be the secret lovechild of Edgar Allan Poe and Sylvia Plath. In what could only be described as an effervescent melting pot, Brocarde's bubbling cauldron is peppered with hints of Little House on The Prairie, and seasoned with remnants of the Addams family values: she's an all-consuming artist who's not for the faint-hearted. Brocarde arrived on the music scene in 2019 presenting her debut single Last Supper. With its biblical relatability and an army of sinister pigs, the music video depicted a twisted fairy tale that whetted the appetite of her loyal supporters. She was hailed as "One to Watch" by Planet Rock Magazine, and secured airplay on Kerrang!, Planet Rock and BBC Introducing.  www.Instagram.com/brocarde website www.Brocarde.com  About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crazyjames/bthdYoutubeInstagramBioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonicfirestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beatthat's as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of hisartistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it's impossible not to feel it.“BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the recorditself. “I've always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.“They're a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and theirmelodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in theUK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in hisDNA.From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. Theproduction strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia whilesounding distinctly 2025. James' delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifullydynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-pacedwordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straightaway—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had toget it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking inreferences to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I liketo play with words,” he says. “People always say I'm hard to categorize—but that's thepoint. There's no sound for me. I just create what's true.”The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuringprevious releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many ofwhich have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album isintentional,” James says. “You won't skip a single track.”The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals forboth “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.“There's even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.' We're planning tofilm in Berlin later this year.”What sets Crazy James apart isn't just his sound—it's the spirit behind it. Drawing on achildhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Jameschannels a multicultural perspective into music that's rich with soul, struggle, andhonesty. Whether he's reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, hedoes so with an unshakable authenticity.“Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it's worth it. I rap toexpress what's inside me—and to let people know they're not alone.”Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It's tough,”he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he's not just rapping—he's building a legacy.“Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing. More amazingmaterial is on the way.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Liang Lawrence over Zoom video! London-based singer-songwriter Liang Lawrence shares her new single “Kiss My Apocalypse” via The Other Songs. Featuring fuzzy, serotonin-boosting electric guitars, the new song is an unabashed declaration of love and commitment.Lawrence said of the song: “‘Kiss My Apocalypse' is probably the least casual way you could tell someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with them. I found it refreshing to write a love song that just simply puts my cards on the table and lets someone know how I feel.”“Kiss My Apocalypse” arrives on the heels of Lawrence's new EP What's Dead and Gone, an evocative coming-of-age portrait that's garnered praise from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Atwood Magazine who hailed the body of work as “masterful storytelling and unforgettable melodies.” She celebrated the EP's release with a sold-out debut headlining show at London's Omeara this fall. Over the last few years, Lawrence has continued to build a devoted loyal following – her debut EP letters to myself amassed over 1 million streams in a matter of weeks upon its 2023 release and earned support from BBC Radio 1 Future Pop.Having grown up in eight different countries, Lawrence's ability to find a home everywhere she goes is reflected in her borderless audience with listeners around the world. Initially drawn to music as a source of grounding consistency, she taught herself to play guitar and write songs from her bedroom, ultimately creating music that tells stories and expresses the messy emotions in everyday life.We want to hear from you!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Grace Davies over Zoom video!Grace Davies unveils her latest single 'Another Night,' a masterfully crafted, feel-good pop anthem which showcases her remarkable vocals and creative talent within songwriting & music production. The track's infectious energy immediately captivates listeners, creating an irresistible and timeless soundscape that will leave you instantly hooked.Crafted in collaboration with producer Paul Whalley & topliner Ben Lythe, 'Another Night' draws inspiration from Grace's childhood musical influences, notably ABBA, infusing the track with a nostalgic, warm, fuzzy feeling that resonates deeply with us all. The production masterfully balances retro elements with contemporary pop sensibilities - creating a unique for current times, yet universally appealing sound that wraps listeners in a comforting sonic embrace. ‘Another Night' is a result of an unconventional songwriting approach for Grace – working backwards from melody to lyrics. "I never work like that, normally" Grace reveals. "I usually have a specific topic I want to write about, come in with lyrics pre-prepared, and then find a melody. This time “Producer Paul” had the piano part already in his voice notes and I just mumbled gibberish over the top that happened to sound like the words “Another Night”. It was really fun to imagine what the song could be about from a title, rather than picking from past experiences." Grace, Ben & Paul have become somewhat of a “dream-team”, in their own words, across the forthcoming project - with ‘Another Night' being their inaugural co-write together. At its core, 'Another Night' explores the delicate balance of relationships pushed to their breaking point. The track delves into the territory of paranoia in love, chronicling the moment when small grievances snowball into irreparable damage. The song's gradual build-up mirrors this emotional journey, culminating in a powerful revelation of vulnerability and regret. Yet, true to Grace's artistic vision, she transforms this heavy narrative into an uplifting dance-pop experience. When listening to Grace Davies' single ‘Another Night' she playfully notes, "You can't help but dance... ‘Dance Cry', my personal favourite genre!" This brilliant juxtaposition of emotional depth and catchy chorus, paired with the nostalgic melodies, creates a fun pop anthem that is not only relatable but encourages listeners to find joy and have fun, even in life's more challenging moments.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​About Grace DaviesGrace Davies is a 27-year-old singer, songwriter, musician and producer from Blackburn, Lancashire. Since the beginning of her career, Grace has scored huge success, with over 100M+ streams for her songs on Spotify alone, support across the board at radio and acclaim everywhere from The Sunday Times to the BBC. At the age of 18, Grace's first self-released project received national BBC Introducing support, was championed by BBC 6 Music and had a track remixed by Radio 1 Dance Music DJ, Danny Howard. In 2017, she was invited to appear on the X Factor and her audition video of original song ‘roots' went viral. In a first for the show, Grace shook up the format by showcasing her original material throughout the competition and triumphed as runner up - gaining a top 2 iTunes chart position and numerous top 10s. 2020 marked the start of a new era in Grace's career – her debut EP Friends With The Tragic reaffirmed her reputation as an exceptional songwriter. Following the closure of her former label SYCO, she self-released her second EP I Wonder If You Wonder in 2021, which was an even bigger success - with standout release ‘roots' (written solely by Grace), reaching the Top 3 in the UK iTunes Single Charts, the Official Charts Top 100 and the UK Big Top 40, as well as plays on BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Heart & Capital FM. Her last EP, It Wasn't Perfect, But We Tried sees her at her most confident and in the producer's chair for the first time. As well as writing credits on all five songs, she co-produced three tracks, and fully produced two of the tracks herself, proving her a true multi-hyphenate. Grace's catalogue continues to gain in popularity for sync in international TV programmes, including Love Island, Britain's Got Talent, I'm A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here), Strictly Come Dancing, American Idol, Eastenders, Hollyoaks and many more. Grace is completely owning her sound and is never happier than being at the forefront of her projects, both sonically as well as creatively. As a result, she is blazing a trail for women in a male-dominated industry. Grace Davies has had a consistent stream of incredibly crafted music that deeply connects her to her listeners; part of that body work includes her previous single “A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life'  generating acknowledgement from Clash Magazine, Equate Magazine and The Official Charts Company.  Now with her latest single 'Another Night,' she channels her artistic excellence into a nostalgic pop anthem that proves Grace Davies is back better than ever, ready to dominate both playlists and dance floors across the UK.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We want to hear from you!
