Track Of The Day: Seraphina – ‘Kingdom Come’

The latest release by Seraphina, ‘Kingdom Come’ showcases her powerful vocals as they soar over this fiery track. All devils and churches, you can hear the influences of gospel, blues and soul all building into the song’s feverish crescendo. Of the track Seraphina told us:

“‘Kingdom Come’ is about the addictive power of doomed desire – like a cult promising salvation it draws you in and once you sense the shadows it’s too late to pull away from the thrill. The desire can be for anything or anyone – but it has a silken touch and iron grip.”

This is the first in a trio of tracks which she’ll be releasing over the first half of 2019, supported by the MOBO Help Musicians Fund.

You can hear more from Seraphina via Soundcloud and Instagram.

Track Of The Day: Amahla – ‘Dorothy’s Verses’

Having played legendary venues such as The Jazz Cafe and The Roundhouse, and garnered support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 Extra and 6Music’s Tom Robinson, Hackney native Amahla was also been a recipient of the second ever MOBO Awards X Help Musicians Grant for her exceptional voice. Following the lush sounds of last year’s ‘Old Soul’, she’s now returned to grace our ears with poignant new single ‘Dorothy’s Verses’.

Exploring what truth is through the story of her grandmother, ‘Dorothy’s Verses’ flow with rich, impassioned vocals alongside luscious sweeping hooks, creating a truly dreamy – and deeply stirring – offering. Of the track, Amahla explains:

“‘Dorothy’s Verses’ is my grandmother’s story of looking at her life through a new lens of Alzheimer’s. But it’s also about the need to hear women speak from their truths. We’re living through Me Too, a movement where women are reclaiming their stories and pushing them into our collective memories, this is but/just one verse.”
