Track/Video: JED & Kavzad release new music video “COME&GO”
Brighton is often associated with indie music, but on the outskirts, a fusion of RNB, garage, and hip-hop emerges. Bristol-born Iranian rapper-songwriter Kavzad and wordsmith Jed are emerging figures in this new musical landscape. Their collaborative debut project, ‘BROKEN GLASS,’ offers a vibrant mix of funk, soul, and nu-jazz molded into a unique UK hip-hop sound. The album features tracks like MORE$tYLE, with its satirical edge, HER, showcasing smooth nu-soul tones, and the title track ‘BROKEN GLASS,’ a cosmic journey in poetic form. Closing the album with the laid-back message of ‘ALRIGHT,’ JED & Kavzad introduce viewers to a variety of sounds and moods.
‘BROKEN GLASS’ is available for streaming on all major platforms and is accompanied by a mockumentary ‘THREE WEMBLEYS’ and a music video for the lead single ‘COME&GO.’ The video showcases their strong vocal chemistry and talent for crafting lush lo-fi hooks. The duo’s unique sound promises to draw listeners into the world of ‘BROKEN GLASS’ with its fusion of genres.
In a separate recent release, the track ‘Cane Trash’ by People Mover presents a laid-back, jingle jangle indie vibe. Reflecting a DIY aesthetic akin to other local bands like Radio Free Alice and Royel Otis, ‘Cane Trash’ exudes a cool and carefree aura reminiscent of artists like Horsegirl from Chicago. Mixing raw delivery with a hint of nonchalance, People Mover creates a distinct sound in the indie scene.
On the other side of the globe, Dear Boy, a beloved indie rock band from Los Angeles, returns with a new single ‘After All’ featuring Alithea Tuttle of Rocket. This collaboration sets the stage for their upcoming album ‘Celebrator,’ set to release on October 17th via Last Gang Records. Their latest single ignites anticipation for what promises to be a remarkable sophomore album.
The music industry continues to produce eclectic sounds and fresh collaborations that push musical boundaries. From Brighton to Los Angeles and beyond, artists like Kavzad, Jed, People Mover, and Dear Boy are shaping the future of indie and hip-hop music with their unique sounds and fresh perspectives. As the music scene evolves, we can expect more innovative creations and genre-blending projects from these talented artists.
