UK STAND UP!

The way I haven't updated this blog in months is SHAMEFUL. I know it is. I am so very ashamed. Nevertheless, I'm here now!

It's a new year and I'm coming with something positive!

You see the subject of this blog init. It's more than a lot of things. As I write this blog, my eardrums are being filled with the sweet sounds of Ed Sheeran and Mikill Pane "Little Lady", which is featured on Ed's new EP No.5 Collaborations Project. Don't ask any questions, just buy it on itunes! It will be money well invested, TRUST ME! With some of the biggest MC's in the UK game featuring on this EP, this is definitely a winner. If you listen to Ed's other tracks for his other ep's such as "Songs I Wrote With Amy", this is a very different feel - and I'm loving it. Connections are being made between two totally different genres of music and it WORKS. It's fucking sick. Excuse my language but I'm a flippin' gas station right now. I'm being filled with unleaded, it's that real. Here's a track from the masterpiece for you to just fester on right quick:



Yeah. Need I say more?

This ep is all I've been raving on about for the past few days so you can imagine how excited I was when @edsheeran tweeted earlier tonight:

So after 4 years of grinding independantly, touring, releasing, sleeping on sofas, I just signed to Atlantic records :)

UK artists are doing big things, and it is SO inspiring! This guy so deserves this and I am so pleased for him! His voice is gorgeous. So gorgeous how can my mum even be gassed?

Moving on though, I mentioned earlier in this blog a man by the name of Mikill Pane? So, I first heard about him not too long ago, when I heard one of his tunes on Muzik Radio. I'm more of an Old Skool R&B and Hip Hop girl, so forgive me for being out of the loop init - shit happens. Anyway. So they played this track, and the way my head started bopping beyond belief. I began doing as much research as I could to find out who this guy is and WHY I did not know about his ass. After that, I never looked back boy. Youtube that init. In fact, eff it. Eff it all. Let me just hook you up.



It don't get any realer than that. This guy's flow is just too sick. Mikill Pane speaks the truth and his "Eff it all" attitude burst through the seams of his music. And I'm loving it mate. Flippin' adoring it.

I've never really been too supportive of UK acts. It's not because I don't think they are any good, but I just feel as if they have never appealed to me. I can be very stubborn, and it even shows by looking at my iPod. If aint old, usually I don't wanna know. But these artists have really shown me a different light. 2011 I'm definitely coming with a different approach as far as the UK music scene is concerned. The spontaneity and individuality of UK music is something that really sets us apart from the rest, and it definitely is time for it to be embraced. I could go on for ages about the UK artists that have caught my eye in the first two weeks of 2011, but its almost 3am and I'm beat so i'ma cut this shit short. I'm just wrap this up with a couple twitter @'s and Bob's your uncle.

Just remember this for 2011 guys; NAKED EARS. That simply means, don't be closed-minded about the music you listen to. Embrace something new!
