Cruel Nostalgia a follow up single by Raelle, after releasing her last single Grace at the beginning of the year. This co produced jazz-orchestral RnB fusion track tells a story of life after loss, after losing a close friend to suicide at the beginning of the year, Raelle found herself in a spiral of grief and constantly looking into her past for comfort. She found grief to be something that isolating and where she would get lost in her memories of how things used to be, yearning for them to be the same again. Finding peace in these memories, but tinged with sadness knowing that these happy memories are a thing of the past and now with that person gone, so is all the hope in creating new moments and memories with them again in the future. The track features live orchestral arrangements, using brass and a heavy bass line with acid style drums to bring the piece alive contrasted with the swell and yearning of the live string arrangements that create a sense of joy, partnered with her emotive and clever lyrics and complex vocal harmony arrangements, Raelle has created a track that fully encompasses the freedoms and joys of childhood, tinged with the bitterness that is growing up and being unable to take everything you once loved with you.

'Hayat’, the new single from the illustrious Kit Sebastian, finds the band delving into their Turkish and Azerbaijan influences. Having spent much of the past year touring and writing, ‘Hayat’ is the first original composition the band has released since their October 2021 album, ‘Melodi’. Here we see the London-based duo (aka Kit Martin and Merve Erdem) weaving a psychedelic tapestry of Mugham melodies, organ-driven grooves and jazz-pop harmonies in classic Kit Sebastian fashion. Recorded to Fostex 1/4” tape, the essence of the production is perfectly balanced between being brand new and retro, which is a feat very hard to pull off. 

‘Hayat’ is sung in Turkish and the title translates as ‘Life’ in English. The song examines our desire to find one's place in the world and the provisionality of existence. Merve's searching lyrics ask “Where are you? Where is the universe?”. Her vocal delivery perfectly reflects the lyrical focus, its texture is probing and ethereal, almost as if sung from looking above us.
