Sheffield’s finest Deep Green comes through with some incredibly powerful visuals for his latest track ‘Sally and Paul’.  The song is an extremely deep and thought-provoking, story telling track that tells the tale of two fictional characters named Sally and Paul. 

 

Through Deep’s storytelling rhymes, the listener is able to find out that Paul is a homeless man addicted to drugs, who has lost his family and friends as a consequence of his addiction. In order to survive he has resorted to stealing and robbing from various corner shops.

 

Sally on the other hand, whilst being an extremely bright girl, is unfortunately addicted to cocaine. Therefore, in order to fund her addiction she has resorted to prostitution and stays up late at night to attract strangers in order to gain money.

 

Deep Green balances both verses with a catchy hook that sees him singing about how it is ‘dark outside’, praying to the lord to ‘find a brighter place’.

 

Visual wise, the music video focuses solely on the actors playing the characters of ‘Sally and Paul’. With each half of the video covering their daily struggles. Both actors play the roles extremely well and you can’t help but get drawn in. Ultimately, the video depicts the harsh realities of these character’s lives extremely well and is definitely worth checking out.

The Van T's - Bittersweet

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

The Van T's hail from Glasgow, a city renowned for having a little swagger in its step.

A biting, snarling indie rock four-piece, the band's rough-hewn glamour has turned their live show into a real event.

Excitement seems to follow in their trail, with a recent support slot alongside Wolf Alice followed by a show with The Jesus and Mary Chain.

New single 'Bittersweet' is out now, a growling, preening, glammed up cruncher that kicks hard and refuses to apologise.

Vivid Radio has first play of the video, and it's a stylish introduction to these new Caledonian heroes.

Tune in now.

Catch The Van T's at the following shows:

November
11 Stockton North Britain Festival
21 London The End festival - The Social
22 Manchester Jimmys

Inside the FINKLE Writer's Room (WAR PIGS)

*Warning: PIRATE RADIO is on the air*


Thank you very much for doing my Finkle Pop show. I know you didn't want to do it.


So, how do we end this? Do we just keep going on-and-on or do we show them the space aliens?



We didn't even think this through. There's not even jokes in half of them.



Oh, that's ok. We can write more shows! Just me and THIS GUY!


Take your hands away from my husband and tell me how we end this Finkle Pop show.

"Where are we?"



You've come home, girls. This is twenty years into your future. And this is where we will train you to fight those space aliens when they arrive in your past.



But first, do you have any questions?


"And before you ask, NO we don't have flying cars!"

COLOUR - 'Minus'

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

COLOUR are an independent force.

Based in Liverpool - a city of mavericks and free-thinkers if ever we saw one - the band long ago decided to walk their own path.

So expect off kilter riffs peppered with glossy 80s melodies, tightly wrought choruses and lyrics that delve a little deeper.

Last year's 'Famous Boy Making Things' EP was a delight, with COLOUR now prepping a brand new single.

'Minus' is completely beguiling, intelligent, artful pop music worth comparing to Tears For Fears or even a post-punk inspired Pet Shop Boys.

Vivid Radio has nabbed the acerbic video and it's packed with visual puns and deadpan humouor.

Tune in now.

Julia Jacklin 'Cold Caller'

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

Julia Jacklin has shared the video for new single 'Cold Caller'.

The songwriter recently released the double A-side seven inch on Transgressive, and returned to the dance studio for the cool new clip.

She explains: “Over my five years of dancing training I accumulated about four dance moves, which have all been utilised in this clip. You could say it all started here in this dance studio in my hometown Springwood where beginning at the age of 11, I laboured and then learned that I was not going to be a professional dancer.”

“Nevertheless for those five years I did my best; tap danced at a casino in a high vis one-piece to ‘Working Class Man’, waved my arms repeatedly around at an event held in a McDonalds car park to Enya’s ‘Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)’, crammed my pre-pubescent body into silver hot pants for Pink’s “Get this Party Started”. It’s still my favourite thing to do, and this song is about something worrying but also something incredibly joyful and all I could think to do to express that was to dance.”

Tune in now.

By now we all know ‘Mans Not Hot’, well, Michael Dapaah has finally hit us with the highly anticipated visuals to the viral sensation that is Big Shaq’s ‘Mans Not Hot’.

Big Shaq is one of comedian Michael Dapaah‘s characters who has blown up worldwide. He is the man of the moment after becoming a viral sensation this year. His first single entitled Mans Not Hot is constantly being streamed due to his Fire In The Booth with Charlie Sloth – that went viral a few months back

The visuals, shot mainly in Miami, feature the likes of worldwide personalities such as Jim Jones, Waka Flacka, Lil Uzi Vert, Snoochie Shy and the legendary DJ Khaled.

Mans Not Hot, was directed and edited by the self proclaimed people’s favourite creative director Marv Brown – and he did an absolutely phenomenal job! Those four minutes are an actual movie, all of the shots are impeccable and the most amazing moments have been captured.

Michael Dapaah himself, a man of many talents, brought us Mans Not Hot. He’s definitely dedicated to his craft and it’s gladly paying off for him.

The initial Fire In The Booth was a hilarious piece of comedy and to see that Michael is making the most of a moment he has worked so hard for is delightful.

The ting is definitely going “skrrr pap” for Big Shaq right now because he’s knocked it out of the park with this video. It’s amazing!

Watch the video above to see the highly anticipated Mans Not Hot visuals.

Beautiful women, body popping and animated backdrops set the tone for this afro influenced, tropically induced wave, titled Figure 8. Reminiscent of a Black Eyed Peas vibe with its own UK spin, Tiqeu, Joshua Kings and Yungin intermix to concoct this playful track. Both the men and ladies can appreciate the visuals which are clad with delectably refined eye candy and simple yet fetching scenes throughout with a nice balance of smooth vocals laid next to equanimous rap verses. Definitely a song you would shake a leg to on your night out and appealing for all the Afrobeat lovers.
