With a multi-genre influence blending jazz, electronica, soul and hip hop, Tom Misch sold out two nights at KOKO, Camden.I first came across Tom years ago through the rapper Loyle Carner. The first time I heard him sing, I was mesmerised — an angelic, melodic voice that never fails to move me. The singer had taken a break from live music in recent years but felt ready to step back this year with carefully curated, intentionally intimate shows. Tom Misch first entered the music scene in 2012, sharing homemade mixes and samples on SoundCloud, which quickly built him a devoted…
Speaking on the track, Songer describes it as “an ultra nostalgic feeling Hip Hop song… a blend of introspection and braggadocio, over an instrumental that just feels like home.”With over 100 million streams in the past year alone, Songer’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. Breakout hit “Toxic” became one of the UK’s biggest rap records, while “Vino Bandit” with K Motionz continues to climb globally. Backed by major tours, festival stages, and consistent chart success, he is firmly cementing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting voices.“BONES” sets the tone for what is shaping up to be another…

It should come as no surprise, given his starring roles in Game of Thrones and Industry, that Kit Harington’s first foray behind the lens should focus on the bleaker side of life. Having dominated TV screens for well over a decade now, between his confrontations with white walkers and the ghouls of the corporate world on HBO, Harington took the blacker-than-tar energy of GoT and Industry’s comedic moments and ploughed them into his directorial debut. Psychopomp (a creature/demon/angel/spirit entrusted with the responsibility of escorting a newly deceased soul to the afterlife) is a 25 minute existential crisis of a road…
