Ghanaian sensation, AratheJay has unveiled his first single of the year, dubbed “Peace”, available exclusively on Audiomack. 

AratheJay displays his admirable blend of smooth melodies with a mumble-style delivery, crafting a record that pulls from hiphop and hiplife influences.

With “Peace”, AratheJay carries a strong message about staying grounded in faith rather than giving in to fear. He reflects on life’s uncertainties, choosing to trust in God instead of panicking. 

Through introspective lyrics, the new-age artist emphasizes the importance of remaining calm, working hard and placing confidence in divine guidance.  

I won’t sit there and panic,” he says. “Most of the time, we complain, but now, I have to relax, trust God and keep working, knowing that no matter what happens, I have eternal life because God is in me.”  

The song further highlights the belief in life after death, reinforcing the idea that despite earthly struggles, peace comes from understanding that the soul lives on. Arathejay delivers an uplifting song of hope and spiritual reassurance.  

“Peace” is a reminder to stay hopeful, work hard, and find reassurance in faith, no matter the circumstances.

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

Published

on

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.

Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’

‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.

Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
