CASWELL - Lie To Me

Ellen and Carla were writing and singing together from the age of 15 before taking their music to a new level as ELKIN. Following the release of debut single Paro, ELKIN were named as one of State.ie's Faces of 2018.
 
Their debut EP, Bad Habits, was released in May 2018: “Honey, uplifting and brimming with feel good vibes, the harmonies and piano complement each other in terms of balance very well. There's a bit of a Nicks / McVie /
Buckingham thing going on too.” – Remy
 
Fronted by Ellen and Carla, ELKIN draw influence from the R'n'B, pop, indie and folk worlds. With bassist Peter and guitarist Conor of Hatchlings, plus drummer Rob, “the band display an eclectic mix of R&B, pop and hip-hop beats, bolstered by alternating female vocals and smooth guitars.” Stephen Porzio, Hot Press
 
Following a summer of gigs, including Bare, Longitude, Electric Picnic and their own Bad Habits Tour, ELKIN have released a new single Green Eyes, a collaboration with Æ MAK producer lullahush - 'a sweet-sad pop banger infused with plenty of soul' (Nialler9).

[Verse 1]
Oh, take me to the start
When I didn’t know where we going 
Or what I was in for
 Oh, you were my counterpart
And I would come running when you were calling 
But it’s not like that anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
The grass is greener on the other side
But I’m stuck in the middle 
And I can’t sit back and enjoy the ride
When I don’t know where we’re headed

The grass is greener on the other side
But I’m stuck in the middle 
And I can’t sit back and enjoy the ride
When I don’t know where we’re headed

[Chorus]
You can send my roots rain
Now we can grow and start again
Now we can grow and start again
So we wait 'til the house burns in flames
Now we can build us back up again
Brick by brick

[Verse 2]
Oh, we were like motorways
But every bend became a dead end
It was always bad days

Now I’m gonna cause a flood
And pray that it works
And washes the sadness out of what we were

[Pre-Chorus]
The grass is greener on the other side
But I’m stuck in the middle 
And I can’t sit back and enjoy the ride
When I don’t know where we’re headed

The grass is greener on the other side
But I’m stuck in the middle 
And I can’t sit back and enjoy the ride
When I don’t know where we’re headed

[Chorus]
You can send my roots rain
Now we can grow and start again
Now we can grow and start again
So we wait 'til the house burns in flames
Now we can build us back up again
Brick by brick

[Bridge]
Brick by brick, brick by brick, oh
Brick by brick, brick by brick, oh
Brick by brick, brick by brick, oh
Brick by brick, brick by brick, oh oh

[Chorus]
You can send my roots rain
So we wait 'til the house burns in flames
Brick by brick

You can send my roots rain
Now we can grow and start again
Now we can grow and start again
So we wait 'til the house burns in flames
Now we can build us back up again
Brick by brick

Give us a reason
Oh give us the reason
To lie to you
To lie to you

Give up and leave it
I see how you’re feeling
I won’t lie to you
I won’t lie to you

Do I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise

That I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise that

Give us a reason 
You give you’re leaving
Cause I lie to you
I lie to you 

Give up your dreaming
Cause I'm fearing just sleeping
Cause the lie is true
The lie is true

Maybe when it's all over
I'll come see you through
Maybe when it's all over
I'll look back at you

Do I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise

That I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise that

My enemies
My enemies
My enemies
They come and go

Surrounding me
Surrounding me
Surrounding me 
For all I know

Do I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise

That I live for a reason
I wanna see, I wanna cry
I wanna be, don't wanna die
I wanna see me realise that

Enemies

Kizzy Crawford is a remarkable and prodigiously talented polymath. A stand out, multilingual vocalist, songwriter and actress, a highly adept guitarist, and violinist who can also utilise music technology and blend it into her live and recorded work. Having a very wide and eclectic musical palate, Kizzy draws upon soul, jazz, pop and folk and infuses her music with the best elements of all, the results set her apart from any of her contemporaries.

Immensely proud of her Welsh heritage, Kizzy has previously written and recorded many tracks in Welsh including Dilyniant, the Welsh version of her debut Freestyle release, and has collaborated with other Welsh artists including pianist Gwilym Simcock, singer songwriter Al Lewis, and enjoyed the support of Huw Stephens, Tom Robinson, Jo Whiley & Craig Charles as well BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio 2 & 6Music.

Adlewyrchu Arnaf I (Reflecting on Me) is Kizzy's new single, she explains how this beautiful composition came about; 'I wrote Adlewyrchu Arnaf I when I was 16. I was starting to do gigs often and the inspiration for the song came from being told a few times that I should sing a certain way, or do 'this' more on stage or wear stuff like 'this'. It made me want to write a song about not letting someone/something take over you and cause you to do what they want because after all everything I do in my life is my decision and reflects on me'.

To mark St David's Day 2019 Kizzy and Freestyle Records are pleased to release Adlewyrchu Arnaf I (Reflecting on Me) which highlights Kizzy's versatility, and also provides a tantalizing hint of what's included on her forthcoming debut album.

------

Mae Kizzy Crawford yn bolymath nodedig a rhyfeddol o dalentog. Mae hi'n lleisydd amlieithog, cyfansoddwr caneuon ac actores, gitarydd a ffidilydd sy'n hynod o fedrus ac yn sefyll allan, all hefyd ddefnyddio technoleg cerddoriaeth a'i gymysgu yn ei gwaith recordio a byw. Gyda dafad cerddorol eang ac eclectig, mae Kizzy yn tynnu ar enaid, jazz, pop a gwerin ac yn cymysgu ei cherddoriaeth gyda'r elfennau gorau oll, mae'r canlyniadau yn ei osod ar wahân i unrhyw un o'i chyfoedion.

Yn arbennig o falch o'i threftadaeth Gymreig, mae Kizzy wedi ysgrifennu a recordio lawer o draciau yn y Gymraeg yn flaenorol, gan gynnwys Dilyniant, fersiwn Cymraeg o'i rhyddhad cyntaf Freestyle Records, ac mae wedi cydweithio gydag artistiaid Cymreig eraill, gan gynnwys y pianydd Gwilym Simcock, y cyfansoddwr a chanwr Al Lewis ac wedi mwynhau'r gefnogaeth o Huw Stephens, Tom Robinson, Jo Whiley a Craig Charles yn ogystal a BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio 2 a 6 Music.

Adlewyrchu Arnaf I yw sengl newydd Kizzy, yma mae'n esbonio sut y daeth y cyfansoddiad hardd hwn o gwmpas;

'Wnes i ysgrifennu Adlewyrchu Arnaf I pan oeddwn i'n 16 oed. Roeddwn i'n dechrau gwneud gigiau yn aml, a daeth ysbrydoliaeth y gân i fi ar ol profi pobl yn dweud wrthai cwpwl o weithiau y dylwn i ganu rhyw ffordd benodol, neu wneud 'hyn' ar y llwyfan neu gwisgo pethau fel 'hyn'. Wnaeth e arwain i fi eisiau ysgrifennu cân am ddim gadael i rywun / rhywbeth gymryd drosodd chi ac achosi i chi i wneud beth mae nhw eisiau i chi wneud, achos ar ddiwedd y dydd mae popeth dwi'n gwneud yn fy mywyd yn benderfyniad fy hun ac yn adlewyrchu arnaf i'.

I nodi Dydd Gŵyl Dewi 2019, mae Kizzy a Freestyle Records yn falch o ryddhau Adlewyrchu Arnaf I, sy'n tynnu sylw at hyblygrwydd Kizzy, ac mae hefyd yn rhoi awgrym mawr i'r hyn a gynhwysir ar ei albwm gyntaf.

FRESH - Willa

Written, produced and played by NAVINA.

V1
I try abide and buy and I
Know all the little things you buy, don't give you jack
Hold close what gives you peace at night
These things don't come around in life twice, that's the facts
V2
Connectedness is life,
there's treasures in the things you can't find with a map,
You blink your eyes and in a flash
You catch the air and system crash
Life can be, it can be gone gone tonight when the morning comes

V3
Content and peace is what you find when,you tread your path a narrow line
Miss the easy train
Traveling in circles ain't so bad
Smoother than all shapes you've had
Like snow, after rain

V4
All shapes ends in the initial place
In what we call the human race, take what you can
So going back to where you start
Is more than luck, a work of art 
Choose the things you can

That won't be gone gone tonight when the morning comes x3

Ooooooo
When the morning comes
