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.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.
Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.
The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.
What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.
With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
