Child of SP drops a heartfelt healing single, “Issues”
The music video for “Issues,” presents a sonic retrospection by Child of SP, the first trailblazing Brazilian artist from São Paulo to make waves by singing exclusively in English and securing a major label deal. The song gifts audiences with an enchanting essential addition to any R&B enthusiast’s playlist, offering a profoundly emotive cohesion and an evocative narrative that stands out in today’s musical landscape while uniquely transcending cultural boundaries.
“Issues” unfolds with Child of SP’s soulful and vulnerable vocals, reminiscent of legends like Akon, Tyga, and R. Kelly, immediately drawing listeners into a narrative of love and struggle. Instead of harboring bitterness, the song reflects a past relationship strained by geographical distance and is personal and universally relatable. The rising star’s ability to convey complex emotions with clarity and honesty is truly remarkable. Despite the eventual end of the relationship, the track emphasizes a mature and hopeful perspective on resolving conflicts, portraying a commitment to healing and mutual understanding of the challenges with the lyrical line, “We have issues, but we can work it out.”
Equally impressive is the exquisite production, helmed, mixed, and mastered by the renowned Soundskillz. The spaced-out drum beats and R&B harmonizations create an ethereal soundscape that mirrors the emotional distance between partners as they navigate the duality of closeness and separation. The accompanying music video, directed by Peter Moutinho, enhances this atmosphere by juxtaposing stylish black-and-white shots with vibrant color scenes, visually representing the unspoken tension and longing.
Child of SP continues to carve a unique niche in the music industry with “Issues,” a sonic delivery that delves into the intricate retrospection of love and separation, highlighting the growth that came with his relatively new presence. He is known for his soulful blend of hip-hop, soul, and R&B, coupled with his lyrical introspection that sets him apart as an artist. This track promises to resonate long after the last note fades, showcasing his talent and solidifying his place as one to watch closely in the global music scene.

“Keep T Moving” shows Meas & Riddie’s fresh approach to house music
Meas & Riddie release their debut, “Keep T Moving,” a fusion of youthful vigor and classic electronic character. Meas & Riddie produced the track, and these two young artists have already built a clear connection with House music while still leaving room to experiment and make music on their own terms.
“Keep T Moving” is a powerful electronic and house record that speaks to the duo’s love of fusing old-school 909 sounds with more modern synths. This distinction gives the track its main artistic direction, fusing a familiar electronic base with a modern edge. Meas & Riddie see those influences as part of the sound they are beginning to make their own.
As their first independent Spotify release, “Keep T Moving” also captures the thrill of a beginning, of two young musicians stepping into the scene without putting unnecessary limits on where their sound can go. 17-year-old Riddie and 15-year-old Meas share an uncommon sense of youthful dedication on their debut release. Their age is part of the story, but more interesting is their willingness to explore on their own terms. “Keep T Moving” definitely sets the direction, but leaves plenty of room for Meas & Riddie to build on their sound with future releases.

Max Ceddo captures one-sided communication on latest release “So You Say”
Max Ceddo takes a frustrating one-sided conversation and makes it the centerpiece of “So You Say,” a song built around communication that never seems to go anywhere. It’s a relatable portrait of the frustration of constantly trying to engage another person in conversation, only to be met with little reciprocation.
The lyrics make that imbalance clear from the beginning, “All you seem ever to say is So you say.” Every time someone calls to talk to me, the narrator says, the other person listens and says nothing, and the narrator wonders why they even called. Even the greeting seems to be limited: “all you ever say is hi at the beginning.” The repetition signals a relationship caught in a frustrating pattern.
What gives “So You Say” its character is how directly it complains. There is no need to dress up the problem, one person wants communication, while the other seems unable or unwilling to give it. “You cant speak cause all you ever say is so you say” brings the idea back around, so the repetition is part of the message itself. Max Ceddo captures the weariness of talking when no one talks back.
