Pharmacists Delivers Masterful Tune ‘Heart of the Nation’

Published

on

Originally, Pharmacists was used to prevent the chief songwriter William Porteous from going insane during his mindless 9-5 workday. He writes on loss, mourning, and the conversation in society. He has performed with bands in both sweaty London venues and dive bars in New York. 

In his latest offering, ‘Heart of the Nation’, Pharmacists’ endearing voices underscore the hardships of the modern world while promoting solidarity. The words of the song ask the listener to widen their eyes. This lesson is especially relevant in the fast-paced world of today when it occasionally appears that power triumphs over people.

The song, which was recorded in Norwich’s Plug Studios, began with only guitar and vocals and gradually grew up to include bass, drums and a playful piece of drum machine. This demonstrated how the chemists’ varied skill set is what gives the song its energy. Pharmacists’ deep love of music is captured by the appeal of alternative indie-rock, which is seamlessly blended with other genres to showcase his style with richness and surprise to the composition.

‘Heart of the Nation’, with its captivating combination of alternative and indie-rock, is more than simply a song; it’s an invitation to accompany him on his musical journey. This song has the potential to become a favourite among both fans and new listeners. 

When asked about the inspiration behind this new single, Pharmacists has the following to say;

“I wanted to take a huge chorus and put something I believe in behind it. I wanted to leave something of myself out there.”

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Published

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video).  “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap.  As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today.  It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.  

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together.  A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado.  This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
