Nathaniel-Always be Yours-from the album ‘Yours’

"Nathaniel-Always be Yours-from the album ‘Yours’"

Nathaniel Willemse is unquestionably one of Australia’s most soulful singers. Having already notched up a number of hit singles, the singer/songwriter has established a fan base and earned comparisons to some of the greatest soul singers of our generation. Now with the release of his long-awaited debut album YOURS, and accompanying beautiful new single ‘Always Be Yours’, Nathaniel is reinforcing his talent and ability, whilst delivering a fresh take on a timeless sound.

“People sometimes refer to me as an old-soul, especially when they hear me sing, so we wanted to make sure we kept that soulfulness, but twist it together with a modern-day sound,” he says, describing the music on his new album. “The majority of songs on the album like ‘Live Louder’, ‘Flava’, ‘Animals’ and ‘Addicted’ all have that throwback soulfulness to them, but it’s been given an update for a fresher sound.”

Nathaniel is already a familiar name on the ARIA charts, with a series successful single releases (two of which have been awarded Double Platinum accreditation), and he’s hoping that the support from his fans continues with the release of his latest material.

The single –Always be Yours is already enjoying airplay across the soundslikecafe network courtesy of Sony Music.

RHODES- Debut Album Wishes

"RHODES- Debut Album Wishes"

Blessed with a voice of stripped back, stop-you-in-your-tracks beauty, Rhodes releases his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Wishes’ This September on Rhodes Music / Ministry of Sound/Sony Music.

Having honed the songwriting talent that has been clear for all to hear on his captivating early EP’s, ‘Wishes’ confirms the arrival of a major talent who has already been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley and Adele. The album is written entirely by Rhodes and produced by Rhodes and his long-term collaborator James Kenosha (Dry The River, Pulled Apart By Horses), with additional production by Drake producer Nineteen85.

Rhodes has travelled a long way in a short time building on what has been a phenomenal beginning to a career that promises longevity. He’s supported Ben Howard, London Grammar, George Ezra and Sam Smith while selling out his own shows including his biggest show to date at London’s Village Underground in March.

The Paper Kites – TwelveFour

"The Paper Kites – TwelveFour"

Melbourne-based 5-piece The Paper Kites return with their sophomore album, twelvefour

Written entirely between midnight and four in the morning, twelvefour is a concept record that explores the theory that an artist’s creative peak lays within these hours.

In a pursuit to accomplish a bigger and bolder sound, the group travelled to Seattle to record with Grammy-nominated producer Phil Ek (Father John Misty, Manchester Orchestra, Fleet Foxes, The Shins).

twelvefour is lush and intimate: think drum machines, dirtier guitars mixed with soulful, smooth synth moments. Plentiful late night vibes.

Tracklist

  1. Electric Indigo
  2. Renegade
  3. Bleed Confusion
  4. Revelator Eyes                                               
  5. Neon Crimson
  6. I’m Lying To You Cause I’m Lost
  7. A Silent Cause
  8. Woke Up From a Dream
  9. Turns Within Me, Turns Without Me
