On 17th November, Brownswood Recordings releases the 7th edition of
their Future Bubblers Compilation. An expansion of Gilles Peterson's
network supported by Arts Council England, the ongoing talent discovery
and artist development scheme focuses on developing unsigned talent and
building audiences for new left-field music. With support from PRS
Foundation as Talent Development Partners, the professional recording,
manufacturing and physical release of Future Bubblers 7.0 is made
possible. Unlike any other initiatives within music, the compilation
acts as a springboard for the musician's careers, with the cooperative
model providing direct revenue to the artists by a share of the profits,
resulting in a sustainable income to work from. Previous Future
Bubblers include artists such as Yazmin Lacey, KinKai, MC Snowy, Forest
Law, Victoria Jane, NeOne The Wonderer and Kayla Painter, to name a few.
The 8-track compilation is a musically diverse collection of tracks,
fusing genres across Alt-R&B, Dance, Electronic, Jazz, Rap and
Trip-Hop. Opening the project, ROMY NOVA flaunts her hypnotic harmonies
on a tender offering, 'The Way', whilst Sheffield-born Jackie Moonbather
delivers a Funk performance on 'Separate Ways'. Up next, Ney Liqa's
'Blomster' captures a blend of Trip-Hop and
Swedish-Pop, fusing her earliest musical influences before Birmingham's
very own Landel's cloud-Rap excellence on '2 Many'. Maintaining the
ethereal sonic, Petrelli Purple's 'Brisk' is reflective of his ability
to curate a "miscellaneous north" sound, followed by MARYSIA OSU's
'Stryder' that highlights her self-coined "harps, beats, and dreams"
ethos. Michael Diamond showcases his ability to float between jazz and
electronic landscapes on 'Aether' before COEX rounds off the project
nicely with 'Reflections'.
Released digitally and on vinyl, the compilation embodies the spirit of the musicians and the team behind Future Bubblers.
