Ghosts of Our Former Selves Continue To Impress With New Release Golden
Ghosts of Our Former Selves are a London-based band who continue to impress, and this is no more evident than on their latest release – EP Golden – which is another top-notch release from the band.
Although the title track previously appeared on their 2021 album, Night Church, it was only after the band’s frontman, Theo Brehony, recently became a father that it was considered as a standalone single. In an argument with an old flame, Theo was once told he had “golden boy mentality” and that he couldn’t be a “golden man”. A few years later, and with his first son on the way, he drew inspiration from these words and put pen to paper.
“I met my wife a few years later and I was about to become a dad… I decided to raise him just as my mother had with me”, says Theo. “You need to remember those emotions and unfiltered moments and recreate them whenever you can. I’m doing it all again – my son is the golden boy now…”
The Golden EP, which also includes a brilliant cover of “Mother and Child Reunion” by Paul Simon, is available to buy/stream now on all platforms. Listen below…
UK rapper Leakzz hits an emotional chord with his latest single, “Show Me Love.” Known for his infectious flow and relatable storytelling, Leakzz takes a more introspective route here, and the result is nothing short of impactful.
After building momentum with “Wavey Again,” a track that pulled in nearly 400,000 organic Spotify streams, Leakzz shifts gears on “Show Me Love.” Inspired by personal hardship, he opens up about the emotional toll of a toxic breakup with the mother of his daughter. There’s a raw honesty in his voice as he admits to feelings of depression, breaking the facade that he has to be strong all the time.
The production stays understated, with a moody drill-infused beat that lets Leakzz’s verses breathe. The minimalist backdrop perfectly complements the vulnerability of his lyrics, drawing the listener closer to the emotional core of the song. Leakzz doesn’t overcrowd the track; instead, he keeps it simple and intimate, which heightens the emotional resonance.
“Show Me Love” feels like a conversation—a candid one. Leakzz isn’t just performing for his listeners, he’s letting them in on his inner world. Leakzz’s ability to express such personal struggles through his music is what sets him apart. He’s showing that rap isn’t just about bravado—it can be a space for vulnerability, too. “Show Me Love” takes him in a new direction, one that balances his trademark lyrical finesse with an emotional depth that feels both refreshing and real.
Final Verdict: “Show Me Love” is a standout moment for Leakzz, proving that he’s not afraid to take risks and be vulnerable in his music. It’s an authentic track that resonates on a deeper level, showing his growth as an artist.
