Tei pays homage to the Princess of Pop with her latest single 'Britany'

In a grey and confusing time for fans of Britney Spears, Tei joins the #FreeBritney movement in an effort to pay homage in her latest single ‘Britney’.

Exhausted by the lack of compassion that the media has given to Britney over the past decade through negative and ‘humorous’ coverage of her mental health conditions, Tei believes it’s time to acknowledge the beauty, talent, and influence Britney Spears has had on this generation.

The track speaks of Tei’s own experiences while it can also be heard as a metaphor for Britney's tiresome relationship with her career. Britney is ushering in Tei’s extroverted side which comes complimentary to her much known deep and vulnerable songwriting. Silky and sultry, this Pop-R&B single depicts the story of going back to a toxic relationship with unrealistic optimism.

“The song came from a place of being annoyed at me for allowing myself to continue going back to an unhealthy situationship.” Tei says. With an extremely infectious melody, this track pays homage to Britney Spears using a reference that every 90’s baby can get excited about.

This is Tei’s first single since the release of critically acclaimed bedroom produced projects, OMW (Spinoff), and The Alone One (UnderThe Radar), both of which have become local classics.

Tei is an alternative R&B singer-songwriter and producer with a vivacious persona that guides you through her darker emotional inner world. Having made a name for herself within Auckland, she is quickly becoming loved by many local fans. Tei has performed at sold-out shows alongside Hans., Jess B, and Meer and with captivating performances at The Others Way Festival, 95bFM’s Breakfast Club among many others.

‘Britney’ is out on all streaming platforms.

Yorke has no time for toxicity in his new video 'Pieces (Ft. lovezombie)'

Leading up to the release of his first ever debut album titled ‘Nü Yorke’, Wellington artist Yorke has dropped new visuals for ‘Pieces (Ft lovezombie)’.

Shot by New Zealand born director and photographer Connor Pritchard who has directed music videos for The Black Seeds, Baynk, SWIDT, Raiza Biza and many more. The visuals set the tone for a classic ‘situationship’ and is based on a true story of something that started off as a fling but ended up in a fire.

‘She wanted to turn our fling into something more serious but I was too busy working on myself and my aspirations to take on any real commitment. This caused her to turn her perception of me into something toxic to help her distance herself from me, I became her enemy. She was fond on the idea of taking revenge, causing her to go out of her way to make sure she was still a presence in my life, good or bad. In real life she set my shirt on fire and posted it on her social media for all my friends to see and hoping I would react to it as well. Definitely a blessing in disguise because it made a great video concept for this song.’

Pieces is available on all streaming platforms

Listen to ’Revenge Featuring LBFRmikey’ also from his forthcoming album here.

The name Yorke originated when he first moved to Wellington because of his resemblance to the great Thom Yorke. Yorke became his nickname and who he was known as around the city. It's also homage to his parents who are from Yorkshire.

‘Nü Yorke’, the debut album is set for release on June 7th.

You On Television is out with a brand new track titled 'Moon Rocks'

Moon Rocks is the first new track released after You On Television’s debut self titled EP in 2018. 

The alt-surf sound of You On Television’s earlier material remains present on the new track, although more bittersweet with pensive lyrics about an inconclusive emotional confession.

Ivy Red opens up the darkest parts of his mind in the latest single

IVY RED follows the success of his much loved video ‘IVY’S LULLABY’ with a new single ‘love hurts when you hold on too tight’, a collaboration with Auckland producer nekolai.

‘love hurts when you hold on too tight’ is IVY RED’s realisation that when your mind is too deep in your problems you don’t see things for what they really are.

“When I came to write this song I felt overwhelmed with all the problems around me, as I started writing I slowly let them go and felt them all dissipate.” IVY RED says. “I realised I was too caught up in everything that was bad that I thought that’s all that was there, writing took me away from that”.

While IVY’s signature dark demeanor persists, nekolai’s pop leaning trap production finds a place for IVY RED to deflect his demons with a sense of optimism.

Guiding his listeners with a melancholic, gravely vocal, IVY RED opens up the darkest parts of his mind inviting his audience to take a step inside IVY’S WORLD. After spending months creating new material IVY RED is ready to make his mark on the world with music that will leave listeners craving for more.
