London singer-songwriter Justin Maki: Chained To Fear
Justin Maki is one of London’s soulful songwriters. Ahead of his Technicolor Dreams album release show at Aeolian Hall, London Morning played an old Justin Maki favourite: Chained To Fear. This track shows off Maki’s strong, silky vocals and excellent guitar chops. Chained To Fear is a great low-tempo jam, perfect for establishing your next party playlist.
Rau_Ze – La dérive
WATCH | La dérive :
La dérive by Montreal’s Rau_Ze is a laid-back Bossa nova track that is quite pleasing on the ears. Complete with horns and a gentle vocal delivery, La dérive (which means The Drift) is a perfect song to ease into your weekend mornings.
Exco Levi – Easy Now (feat. Julian Marley and King Cruff)
WATCH | Easy Now:
Six-time Juno award winner Exco Levi teamed up with Julian Marley and King Cruff for a perfect new reggae single, Easy Now. It’s everything you’d expect from the seasoned song maker, and the team up with Marley and Cruff make it that much better. Easy Now is a great song for your next party playlist.
