Lewis Edwards, the UK rising star has just unleashed his latest banger, “If I Couldn’t”, and it’s about to take your ears on a wild ride! Released on May 3rd, this track takes listeners on a soulful rollercoaster of emotion that’ll have you hitting repeat before you know it.

“If I Couldn’t” is like a musical cocktail – shaken, not stirred – blending indie R&B with a pop twist that’ll make you hit repeat countless times. Teaming up with his musical partner-in-crime, Moneo, Lewis crafted a minimalist masterpiece that’s as catchy as it is heartfelt. Picture delicate piano, gentle guitar strums, and percussion that’ll make your heart skip a beat – it’s the perfect backdrop for Edwards’ soulful lyrics and electrifying vocals.

“I wanted this song to hit you right in the feels,” says Lewis Edwards. “It’s been a labor of love, taking two whole years to perfect!”

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, Edwards shares, “I was going through a testing time being a new father and not feeling like I could be there for friends and family like I used to be as I have a new family I need to care and provide for. The song is about reminding those who I can’t always be in contact with or see them as much as I used to when I didn’t have commitments, a music career i’m pursuing, that I care just as much as I always have and that ‘If I Coudn’t’ be that for you I hope you find it somehow, whether through another person, yourself or other avenues.”

What happens when trust is broken but you find yourself stronger on the other side? Shelana Azora and Richandell (pronunced Ree-SHEN-dul) explore that moment of clarity on their powerful new collaboration “Can’t Trust”, a soulful R&B and hip-hop fusion built on honesty, confidence, and moving forward.

Blending Shelana’s emotive vocals with Richandell’s smooth, rhythm-driven production, the track captures the shift from heartbreak to self-respect. It’s vulnerable without being defeated, turning disappointment into a reminder that knowing your worth can be the ultimate comeback.

Produced entirely by Richandell, “Can’t Trust” showcases his ability to create a space where emotion and groove exist side by side. Drawing from R&B, hip-hop, and global influences, the production gives Shelana room to deliver a performance that feels both intimate and fearless.

For Shelana, the track represents a new chapter built around confidence, boundaries, and embracing every part of her artistry. Moving between singing and rap, she brings the honesty and energy shaped by years performing in London’s vibrant music scene.

The collaboration began with instant creative chemistry during a studio session in Amsterdam, eventually leading the pair to record at the legendary Wisseloord Studios. What started as a spontaneous connection grew into a cross-border partnership built on shared vision and trust, even if the song itself is about losing it.

With “Can’t Trust”, Shelana Azora and Richandell prove that some of the hardest moments can create the strongest music. It’s a song about betrayal, but more importantly, it’s a song about reclaiming yourself.
