Fresh off the back from his recent singles ‘Still Speedin’ and ‘Level Up’ Sway delivers a brand new track from his forthcoming album ‘Deliverance’.
Almost a year in the making, ‘Song For The City’ is Sway’s letter to his home town of London but this is a song with a message that is intended to reach far beyond 2012.
“This song is about my home city but the underlying message is about being proud of where you come from, I want this to inspire people wherever they’re from”.
Sway collaborated closely with Grammy nominated writer and producer Giorgio Tuinfort as well as Sway’s protégé and co-producer on the record Andrew Muntambira. The recording process included not only working with a 30 piece orchestra but Sway also enlisting the choir from his old school, Highgate Wood, a decision that personally meant a great deal to him.
The lyric video video features footage of the choir and orchestra shot by Sway himself as well as many photos of fans and fellow Londoners who inspired the record.
Song For The City also features Londoner Ed Drewett who recently collaborated with Professor Green on his hits ‘I Need You Tonight’ and ‘Never Be A Right Time’ and both Ed and Sway have recently been in the studio working on new music together.
Recently appointed as ambassador for charity UK Youth born from an alliance with President and sporting hero Nigel Mansel, Song For The City reinforces the responsibilities placed upon him and aims for the song to be as far reaching and inspirational to people of all ages and walks of life as possible.
Sway recently performed at the BBC Hackney Weekend and has been confirmed to perform at Wireless Festival, Hyde Park, London.
Fresh from the success of his collaboration with Matrix & Futurebound – “All I Know”, rising star Luke Bingham is back with another hit.
His new single “Shut It Down” showcases Luke’s immense vocal talents riding a deep and pulsing bassline. It’s sexy, funky and heavy with feeling. With remixes by Mele, Steve Smart & Westfunk and Heavy Feet the track also features the massive MC talents of Krept and Konan – of south London duo Play Dirty – who have taken the UK underground by storm with their tight metaphors and inventive punchlines.
Given it’s first play on the Ronnie Herel show, “Shut It Down” is being well supported at 1Xtra with Mistajam and DJ Target both championing the track.
A gifted singer and songwriter, Luke was snapped up by 3Beat in 2011 after he was added to the BBC Introducing playlist. He quickly scored a support slot with Trey Songz before being whisked off to LA with Radio 1 for a live performance on Sunset Boulevard. This was quickly followed by a performance at Radio 1′s Big Weekend in Carlisle. Not a bad start for an artist without a single release to his name.
More than just a lucky break, this chain of events was a product of hard work and single-minded determination. Luke’s songwriting shows an extraordinary flair and his often emotionally raw lyrics hide nothing. With his easy charm, natural swagger and sultry voice he is all set to take the world by storm.
After a barrage of specialist support from 1Xtra and Choice FM from the likes of Mista Jam, Target, Ronnie Herel, Charlie Sloth, Woody and many more, the latest DAVINCHE produced release “LOVE BETWEEN US” from PREEYA KALIDAS is now available on itunes.
The highly sought after track and extensive mix package from Artful, Paperbwoy, Steve Smart, FunkyStepz and JC have also been instrumental in making the record No 1 in the MUSIC WEK URBAN CLUB CHART. The video also received great rotation on air (premiering on This morning/ Lorraine) and online support racking up over 86,000 views.
