Jupiter Grey Returns With Scintillating Debut Album Fires On The Moon
Rising UK alternative R&B artist Jupiter Grey has unveiled his debut album Fires On The Moon. The album arrives following much anticipation stemming from previous singles “Is It Ever The Same”, “From 80’s With Love” and the album’s title track. Having garnered critical acclaim for his unique sound, Jupiter looks set to continue his remarkable rise and break new ground with this first full-length project.
Sonically, the album is in line with what fans have come to expect from the London-based artist. It fuses experimental alternative R&B sounds inspired by Jupiter’s love of the ‘80s while also incorporating modern and futuristic touches, which makes for a fascinating listen across the album’s 19 tracks. Packed with Jupiter’s smooth vocals, irresistible toplines and impressive lyricism, the album shines the spotlight on an artist with a glittering future and a lot to offer.
Speaking more on the album, Jupiter says, “Fires On The Moon is about purpose and belief in yourself and knowing your calling. It’s the first instalment of a three-part trilogy I’ve been working on and is inspired by my love of the ‘80s and my origin story of Jupiter Grey. The whole album is produced by VaugeEightySix, who at the time of me wanting to create this album, had quit music. My inspiration and plan for the album inspired him to want to produce this concept for me. The process of making this project has been amazing and truly a blessing.”
Fires On The Moon is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/firesthealbum.OPR.
Keep up to date with the latest from Jupiter Grey:
North London’s 4t9 isn’t just stepping into the UK rap scene – he’s kicking the door wide open with his debut single, “Freedom”. Blending hard-hitting drill beats with motivational lyricism, 4t9’s arrival feels bold, intentional, and impossible to ignore. While drill music often leans on themes of street life and bravado, “Freedom” carves out its own lane, focusing on self-belief, focus, and determination.
From the opening bars, 4t9’s delivery is sharp and direct. His tone carries a hunger that feels authentic, as he weaves between gritty observations and personal affirmations. The hook – “It’s been about freedom, it’s been about racks” – becomes a powerful mantra, embodying 4t9’s belief in chasing success on his own terms. There’s no reliance on empty bravado here; instead, 4t9 taps into the mindset of someone who’s faced challenges but refuses to let them define his path.
His verses showcase a knack for clever wordplay. Lines like “In Paris riding the metro / I’ve been wavy from the get-go / I still compete and I get gold / That’s the 9 on me like Crespo” highlight his ability to blend cultural references with sharp storytelling. He paints pictures of grind and grit, but it’s always laced with a forward-thinking attitude.
The track’s production matches this energy, with a brooding instrumental that balances dark, rolling basslines with crisp percussion. It’s the kind of beat that demands attention, creating the perfect backdrop for 4t9’s powerful delivery. Meanwhile, the track’s structure keeps momentum high, with the hook acting as a grounding point that ties the themes together.
Adding to the track’s impact is its visually striking music video, directed by ODXC. The visuals mirror the song’s intensity, capturing 4t9’s commanding presence as he delivers each bar with conviction. The sleek visuals, combined with the track’s unrelenting energy, make “Freedom” feel like a real statement piece.
With this debut release, 4t9 shows he’s not here to follow trends – he’s here to create his own lane. His blend of raw authenticity, sharp lyricism, and motivational energy makes this debut impossible to overlook. If “Freedom” is just the starting point, there’s no telling how far 4t9’s ambition will take him.
