Kingdom Kome “Crush Grapes” in new video / single

Published

on

Prolific emcee / Lo-Life Kingdom Kome has dropped a new single with accompanying video this morning.  “Crush Grapes” is the first single from the second collaborative LP with Producer/DJ RUEN entitled Malbec 2 (to drop on 7/19/24).

Sultry, tropical but still sportin’ thick bass and drums, the track is a perfect backing for Kingdom Kome to drop braggadocios bars on some boss shit.  The video perfectly compliments the sonic sentiments with the emcee straight stuntin’ in his hometown of Miami, FL.

Speaking on the genesis of the track, the emcee said “Crush Grapes was actually the last record we did for the album.  The album was already turned in and mastered. Me and RUEN were in the lab producing some records and as soon as I heard the infectious horns I instantly knew I had to call an audible and add this to the album!”

In regard to working with RUEN he added the following “I feel like I have different chambers and vibes I tap into depending on what producer or artist I’m working with at that specific time.  Since RUEN is my DJ and longest working producer, I feel like we have developed a very signature sound together. He has an amazing ear and can go from some really grimey boom bap records to trap to R&B, dancehall and club records effortlessly, regardless of the record his signature drums always are hard hitting and I feel like with Malbec 2 we are both our prime and both in our prime and it’s my most well rounded project to date!”

This is the first in a series of singles and video which will drop prior to the LP’s release date.

Between Time and Feeling: Horologica’s “I Want It More Than Anyone” EP Out Now

Published

on

Horologica

There is something quietly captivating about an artist who lives between two worlds. For Horologica, the London-based singer-songwriter, that duality is not just a concept. It sits at the core of his creative identity. By day, he works with time in its most exacting form as a professional horologist. By night, he lets go of precision entirely, channeling emotion into music that feels instinctive, open, and deeply human.

His new EP, I Want It More Than Anyone, reflects that balance. It is a collection grounded in love, self-expression, and emotional clarity. These are songs that do not try too hard to impress. Instead, they invite you in with warmth and sincerity. Nothing feels forced. Everything unfolds naturally, like thoughts you did not realize you needed to hear.

At the center of the project sits “Feather,” the EP’s standout moment. Light, melodic, and carried by rich vocal harmonies, the track feels like a deep breath. What makes it even more striking is how effortlessly it came to life. Written in just 45 minutes during a spontaneous burst at the piano, “Feather” captures the kind of inspiration artists spend years chasing. That initial spark was later elevated through collaboration with a Grammy-winning production team, transforming it into a layered and uplifting piece that glows with subtle complexity.

But I Want It More Than Anyone is not just about standout moments. It is about cohesion. The title itself emerged only after the songs were finished, almost as if the music revealed its own meaning. Across the EP, Horologica explores connection, identity, and the quiet beauty found in vulnerability. His songwriting feels conversational, like late-night honesty shared without hesitation. There is optimism here, but it stays grounded. It never feels naive and always feels genuine.

What makes this release particularly compelling is the contrast that shapes it. His daily work is defined by structure and measurement, while his music thrives on feeling and fluidity. It is within that tension that Horologica finds his voice. His songs do not measure time. They capture what happens inside it, including fleeting emotions, passing connections, and moments that matter because they do not last.

“This music is a piece of my soul,” he shares, and it shows. There is a therapeutic undercurrent running through the EP, a sense of release that feels both personal and shared. These songs were not just written to be heard. They were written to be felt, first by him and now by anyone willing to listen.
