Shelana Azora Returns With Captivating New Release “No Luv”
East London-based rising R&B/hip-hop artist Shelana Azora is ready to shake up the R&B scene with her new single, “No Luv”. The track is the latest addition to the growing R&Drill genre, a fusion of R&B and drill merging the jumpy BPM of drill with the harmonious melodies of R&B. The track is accompanied by a stellar music video directed by Lauren McCollin that complements the track’s 2000s R&B soundscape.
Packed with sweet melodies and candid lyrics that tell the story of “just a girl from the east side” and her journey navigating through the music industry, “No Luv” makes a huge impression on first listen. Speaking further on the new release, Shelana says, “‘No Luv’ is an inspirational R&Drill track about my struggles of being in the music industry from age 17 and my journey of growth, failure, doubt and hope for the future. I wanted to tell my story and write a song that captured how I was feeling at the present moment.”
Shelana’s poignant lyricism shines through as she shares her story and showcases her effortless sing-rap flow over a melodic drill beat produced by Jay Jay Musika. It’s clear Shelana is a force to be reckoned with, and the R&B scene has a star with a huge future ahead if this latest release is anything to go by. “No Luv” is out on all platforms and tickets are available now for Shelana’s first headline show.

Breakout Artist Meli Foster-Turner Makes Every Song Count On unfinished conversations
Some EPs leave the feeling that another track or two might have helped complete the picture. unfinished conversations has the opposite effect. By the time it reaches the closing moments, it feels as though every song has earned its place.
That’s partly because Meli Foster-Turner resists the temptation to overload the EP. Each idea is given enough space to develop before making way for the next, creating a natural flow that keeps the listening experience moving without feeling rushed.
The project also benefits from its consistency. Whether the mood shifts towards reflection or quiet confidence, the songwriting keeps the same sense of focus throughout, giving the EP its own character without needing dramatic changes in style or pace.
It’s a release that rewards being heard in one sitting. The running order feels carefully considered, and the closing track lands with the sense that the journey has reached exactly the right point.
Sometimes the measure of an EP isn’t how much it tries to say, but how well it uses the time it has. unfinished conversations gets that balance exactly right. Have a listen for yourselves right now courtesy of Now Listen:
