Symonne Finds Beauty in the Echoes of Memory on New Single ‘The Way You Love’
London-based singer-songwriter Symonne returns with The Way You Love, a deeply introspective new release that continues to establish her as one of the most emotionally perceptive voices emerging from the independent R&B scene. Blending contemporary soul, neo-soul, chilled R&B, and subtle pop influences, the single explores the quiet emotional residue left behind by people, places, and past versions of ourselves. Rather than focusing on longing, Symonne turns her attention toward the ways memory continues to shape identity long after moments have passed.
Music has long been woven into the fabric of Symonne’s life. Childhood memories of family singalongs and nursery rhymes shared by her grandfather, Andrew “Sonson,” formed an early connection to melody and emotional expression. Those formative experiences evolved into a fascination with vocal performance and songwriting, as she experimented with tone, texture, and storytelling while developing her own artistic voice. Today, that curiosity has matured into a distinctive style defined by warmth, vulnerability, and authenticity.
At the heart of The Way You Love is a nuanced exploration of emotional permanence. Written during a reflective chapter of her life, the song examines the subtle ways memories linger and influence our present perspective. Symonne’s lived experience, including her relationship with BPD, provides additional depth to the narrative. Rather than presenting these experiences through a clinical lens, she translates them into universally relatable observations about growth, self-understanding, and emotional connection.
Musically, the single unfolds with understated elegance. Warm harmonies, gentle chord progressions, and soft rhythmic textures create an atmosphere that feels suspended between nostalgia and acceptance. Symonne’s vocal delivery remains intimate throughout, allowing the emotional core of the song to emerge naturally rather than through dramatic embellishment. The result is a listening experience that feels cinematic in mood while remaining deeply personal in execution.
The release arrives alongside a thoughtfully conceived visual campaign developed in collaboration with animation artist Maryam. Known for her emotionally expressive illustrations and relatable storytelling style, Maryam’s animated vignettes bring the song’s themes to life through a contemporary visual language. Together, the pair have created a campaign that expands the emotional universe of the single while maintaining its intimate essence.
As an independent artist who has already earned support from BBC 1Xtra, Rinse FM, and WORDPLAY Magazine, Symonne continues to build momentum through honesty and artistic consistency. The Way You Love marks another compelling chapter in her creative evolution, reaffirming her ability to transform deeply personal experiences into music that resonates far beyond her own story.

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch
Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.
For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.
The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.
There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.
The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.
Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
