Roses Gabor: 'Illusions' Ft. Sampha

North West Londoner Roses Gabor has sung for some of the greats in her journey to this point. She has lent her vocal to multiple tracks from the original digital soundboy and London raga-jungle legend Shy FX. It was her voice that blessed pioneering club/pop stylist SBTRKT's biggest track 'Pharaohs'. And that's before you connect the dots and realise it's her singing Gorillaz's mammoth hit 'DARE' live on tour with Damon and co.

But now its 2018 and Roses is audaciously launching her solo vision, starting with this arresting single produced by Mercury Prize winner, friend and fellow Londoner Sampha Sisay. Sampha has previously collaborated with Drake, Kanye West and Solange.

It's a fascinating taste of what is to come from Roses this year as she reveals more of herself and her song-writing muse. Born to Grenadian parents, Roses was reared on the groove of new jack swing R&B, classic Stevie Wonder, soca and the commercial sounds of Capital FM blaring from her carpenter father's van driving through London. Mary J Blige was her first musical love.

On 'Illusions' we find her laying in the couple's bed as a pairing disintegrates. Sampha assists with his distinctive BVs and signature meditative production. It's a taste of what's to come in a year when Roses will be taken to heart across the globe.

Leon Vynehall: Worldwide Live Dates

In June Leon Vynehall released his debut album 'Nothing Is Still', via Ninja Tune which included singles 'Envelopes (Chapter VI)', 'Movements (Chapter III)'. Following the release Vynehall presented his debut immersive live show with a three night, sold out run at Hackney Showroom which Clash described as, "a remarkable, transportive performance."

Today he has announced new worldwide live dates which include a show at London's Hackney Arts Centre, a three night run at New York's iconic The Kitchen, The Warehouse Project x Manchester International Festival, Special Edition and a show at the prestigious Melbourne Recital Centre that will see the band perform with The Impossible Orchestra as part of Melbourne Music Week.

Having already worked with Blue May, the Mercury Music Prize and Brit Award nominated producer / mixer / musical director who mixed 'Nothing Is Still', Vynehall and May have worked closely to reimagine the album as a live performance bringing in some of London's top musicians from the leftfield and jazz scenes including Sam Beste - Piano / Synth, Rob Mullarkey - Bass / Double Bass and Will Ritson - Drums / Percussion with Vynehall sitting at the core as a master of manipulation on Synth / Drum Machines / Guitar and a somewhat dilapidated Lap Steel.
