KELELA "LMD"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
Kelela has shared the breathtaking video for new track 'LMK'.
The American artist's new album is incoming on Warp, and it finds Kelela taking that creative dynamic to the next level.
'LMK' leads the way, with Björk collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang crafting the visuals.
Raising the bar in every sense, there are shades of Janet Jackson's sublime pop futurism allied to an embrace of the UK underground and cutting edge technology.
In short, it's superb. Andrew Thomas Huang explains: "We wanted make a video that showcases the multiplicity of who Kelela is and who she has the potential to be. The video is essentially a grand unveiling featuring Kelela wearing different wigs and guises as she pushes through the club with her friends, ultimately revealing herself at the end of the video."
"The message of this video is empowerment: it's for the girls, for anyone whose heart has been trampled on and deserves to go out and feel good about themselves. It's a call to action, demanding to be taken and to be quick about it. This is the reason why we love Kelela - she's making herself vulnerable and kicking down doors in the process."
Tune in now.

After getting "Back At It" in April, Rich Chigga (a.k.a. Brian Imanuel) has returned with "Glow Like Dat," which arrives alongside a video.
The clip, directed by Imanuel and James Defina, first finds the rapper flat on his back lighting up a cigar, shifting quickly to a brightly coloured field of flowers from which he delivers his verses. You can watch the video in the player below.
Imanuel will also hit the road on tour this fall, and you can find all current live dates here.

Inside The FINKLE Writer's Room ( 7 MISTAKES)
*Warning: PIRATE RADIO is on the air*
As writers for all the Finkle scripts, we'd like to send a message to every new writer on Google who wants to follow in our footsteps into comedy blog writing. Now see, we made a list of mistakes we see people make and we'd like to share them with you.
After you remember all of that, YOU TOO will be the same as us...God help us all.
As writers for all the Finkle scripts, we'd like to send a message to every new writer on Google who wants to follow in our footsteps into comedy blog writing. Now see, we made a list of mistakes we see people make and we'd like to share them with you.
1. Trying to appeal to everyone
Trying to appeal to everyone leads them to making promises they don’t keep. They don’t look like they’re having fun so no one gravitates to them as they come across as boring. Their message is confused and they don’t have a clear consistent brand.
What to do: Think about how to attract a small audience and build on it.
2. Fearing change
They don’t recognise or support new talent. Their huge ego demands that they take all the credit when things go well, and blame others when they don’t. They live in the past and continue doing things in the same way they did five years ago.
What to do: Be willing to adapt and embrace new ideas, and develop other talented people around you. Be part of a circle that outperforms you to push you to grow and learn more.
3. Living in the past
They miss exciting opportunities because they live in the past. They have lost their beginner’s mindset and are experts in outdated thinking and ways of doing things. They think they know it all and close themselves off to valuable advice. They are no longer learning and improving, just rehashing old patterns.
What to do: Things are changing so rapidly requiring you to learn just as rapidly. Find ways to implement as you learn.
4. Smartest in the room
They are always the smartest person in the room, busy outsmarting others. They feel they are too good to get their hands dirty and do the hardwork. They don’t invite smarter people into their circle for fear of being seen for who they are, rather than admitting their weaknesses in order to grow.
What to do: You’re never as smart as you think. Surround yourself with people who assist your vision who are smart in different ways to you. Your growth as an artist comes from your relationships. In organisations it’s called team building.
5. Overthinking
They become too logical and leave out the most important element of their craft, emotion. Their overactive minds are filled with negative thoughts and worry.
What to do: Pull yourself out of your head and into your heart. Keep a beautiful curious mind. Ask yourself why you started, why you’re doing this, and what your purpose is.
6. Lack of focus
They are not competitive enough to focus on one thing until they win. Artists who fail don’t finish what they start. They are inconsistent and don’t focus long enough to see results.
What to do: It takes focus and dedication to do it bigger and better than anybody else. The industry has no belief in artists who don’t focus long enough to complete projects. Find ways to stay in love with your craft.
7. They don’t have a fanbase
They make everything about themselves and not the audience. They generalise about who their fan base is by looking at popular artists in their genre. They have no actual idea who their fans are, or what their fans beliefs or dreams are.
What to do: Become obsessed with delivering the best experience for your fans. What’s your vision, and how can people buy into this?
Take Away
– Find your niche
– Be open to change
– Focus on your fans– Be open to change
After you remember all of that, YOU TOO will be the same as us...God help us all.

Inside the FINKLE Writer's Room (AMERICAN MILITARY)
*Warning: PIRATE RADIO is on the air*
What if we do a commentary on the American military and how the rest of the world reacts to us? It would go like this-
Attention! As of this day forward, we are going to try a new military routine, men!
It's where we give the rest of the world mixed messages about why we declare war and why we're in their country killing people. Its called America First.
So, Canada will take our citizens who want to live. The Middle-East will fight themselves while we steal their oil. And Russia will share power with China and Germany who will buy our oil, because nobody in America will be able to buy it after we drain the economy.
"Good work, Finkle...that's the kind of incompetence we enjoy around here."
On second thought, we shouldn't do it. People would think we're getting too preachy.

Cadell - "Sawnoff calling"
*PIRATE RADIO is on the air*
Despite being best known for his grime songs, Bow MC Cadell has had a well-documented affinity for the American trap scene. Since the start of the year, he’s released a slew of tracks which reinterpret stateside instrumentals, ranging from Rich the Kid’s ‘New Freezer’ to Tory Lanez’ ‘Bal Harbour’. The most recent of these, ‘Sawnoff Calling’, sees the 20-year-old offer an insight into his personal life, set against the backdrop of Future’s 2016 ‘Perkys Calling’ instrumental.
Over the Southside beat, Cadell reminisces about the past. He talks about friends and family at length, proudly declaring that his older brother, Wiley, “loves the fact [he] blew without him”. He also looks back on his early days on the roads, rapping: “First time I used my ting was very gory / I’m lucky that that n***a ain’t report me”.
The track’s relatively slow beat works to Cadell’s advantage, giving listeners plenty of time to digest the East Londoner’s lyrics in one of his most introspective songs yet.
Cadell’s second album, LONDON, is due for an imminent release. Stay locked to his Twitter (@CADELL) for all the latest updates.
