LEAP Shares Anthemic New Single ‘Potions’

The enigmatic LEAP takes down the pace with his brand new, deeply personal and highly intense alt-rock anthem ‘Potions’, continuing his auto-biographical exploration of mental health. Lead singer Jacky Scott is bi-polar, and following an extended manic episode in a psychiatric ward, ‘Potions’ taps into the cocktail of alcohol, medication and drugs that fuelled his mania. Touching on addiction and inner-city struggles, ‘Potions’ is an anthem for anyone who has struggled with self-medication. LEAP’s art form has a contagious energy that is sure to make a lasting impression on anybody that tunes in and ‘Potions’ is no exception.

Discussing the new track, LEAP shares: “Potions is a song I wrote about addiction and the different vices people take to escape their own disturbed thoughts. Feeling disconnected from the world and the people around me is something I’ve struggled with living with bi polar leading me to different forms of self medication but using music as an outlet has helped me conquer some of these demons. I hope anyone out there struggling can take something positive away from the song.”

2021 sees LEAP step up and out of the world of DIY releasing into a more ambitious, more refined sonic palette where he can comfortably compete with the biggest indie-rock acts around. Inspired by the likes of Fontaines DC, 21 Pilots and Yungblud, new singles ‘Energies’ and ‘Potions’ from his upcoming EP ‘1 Million Pieces’ are undeniable indicators of where Jacky’s raw, eclectic persona is heading.

Boorook creates a hip-hop anthem for change on “Fight For Your Rights”

Boorook’s latest release, “Fight For Your Rights,” is both a song and a movement. The Indigenous people have a strong voice, and from the first beat, the song has a strong, urgent, and very human energy. “Fight For Your Rights” is an example of how conscious hip-hop can serve as art activism. The track is about unfair systems, and it’s clear that it supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Clarke’s performance is more than just a show, it’s a call to action that tells people to face hard truths and connect with the pulse of community and defiance.

Thomas Lorenzo’s live guitar adds an unexpected yet beautiful layer, giving the rhythm an emotional depth that makes it feel soulful. The track sounds real because it has real instruments and hip-hop beats. This shows how good Boorook is at mixing styles and still getting the message across.

People feel like they are part of a group when they listen to the song “Fight For Your Rights.” The lyrics are deep, and the music is good. It’s a song that makes people want to get together, think, and do something. Boorook doesn’t just play music; he makes people feel strong by turning every beat into a heartbeat for change.

Malammore unveils a new voice rising from portugal’s margins on new album “Aurora”

Malammore, whose real name is Sandro Feliciano, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Lisbon, Portugal. “Aurora” is his first album. The album comes out on January 23 and tells the story of his life as a young Black man, his search for belonging, and his country’s cultural resistance. The lyrics talk about love, adoption, thoughts on humanity, and how the artist sees his role in the world. The concept for the album originated from a notebook containing poems, narratives, and my self-perception within this world. It’s a record of the Black experience in Portugal, of belonging and feeling alone, of love and loss.

Sandro, also known as Malammore, was born in 2005 and lived with the Portuguese State for two years until he was adopted in 2008, which was a big change in his life. One of the main ideas in Aurora is to turn the idea of a “black hole” into “the world’s white hole,” which shows a universe that erases identities. He challenges dominant narratives and changes how people see black bodies in society by filling it with the idea of blackness.
