Kidnap is an artist whose music overflows with emotion - rich and powerfully evocative.

Recording in London, Kidnap (real name Matthew Relton) likens his process to that of a sculptor, starting with a block of sound and chopping away until a shape emerges. As such, each song exists ornately carved with a handcrafted subtly.

Still just 33, Relton is already something of an industry veteran. Releasing his first single in 2012 kicked off an eight-year stretch of global touring that came to a grinding halt when the pandemic put the world on pause.

2024 marks a new chapter for Kidnap, with his next body of work on the horizon. Set against the backdrop of a changing world and the arrival of a baby daughter, Relton offers a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time. ‘It’s about looking back on the last 12 years — the touring and the friends and the sleeplessness,” says Relton, “and realising that in order to embrace the life I have now, I need to let it all go.’ The music shimmers with nostalgia. Signature sad melodies dance deftly around commanding synth lines, altogether sounding like an artist with a new found sense of purpose.

Songstress Lauriana Mae is gearing up for her most personal statement to date. Growing up in the landscape of diverse people, blue-collar ideals, and joyous backyard gatherings with dynamic music playing. Just an hour away from that world, Lauriana chased her calling in New York City. Since her adolescence, the singer with the smoky voice took to the Big Apple with a backpack and a yearning to participate in the music industry. Out of that journey emerges this musical story.

Mae’s upcoming project retraces some of those experiences, some of which are ongoing. “It feels like a ton of bricks have been lifted off of me,” she says, now able to share her art without any red tape. “Before, I felt like I was searching for something that everyone else wanted. There were times when I felt like I was ahead of trends or had new ideas, and I couldn’t get them out because I wasn’t established enough.” Lauriana is proud of her journey, which includes projects, Love Mae, City Of Diamonds, and Can’t Go Back, extended plays, as well as several notable features. This music resulted in coverage by Rolling Stone, Complex, Nylon, Vibe, and Noisey, among others. However, Lauriana Mae’s new chapter is one of greater possibility.
