Top indie artists come together to raise money for St Mungo’s homeless charity
The ‘Write to Be’ EP was inspired by the moment when London based Japanese artist, Mieko Shimizu stumbled upon a tiny house in a doorway on the deserted streets of Soho during lockdown. On its cardboard walls were written various tales; friends who died in the Hillsborough disaster, soldiers returning from war in Afghanistan, the love of a mother lost to cancer, life on London streets. The house was neatly furnished with a table, cupboard, drawers, some clothes on coat hangers and a bed.
Mieko recorded an interview with its maker, John Daniels, and created the track ‘John’s House’ incorporating the interview. She was moved by creativities power and asked three other artists from England, Germany and Poland to write songs about its ability to lift the spirit even in desperate circumstances and created ‘Write To Be’.
The EP features the Mieko Shimizu produced ‘Where Do you Go’ by William D Drake, formally of The Cardiacs, ‘Without’ from Monica label artist in Berlin; Barbara Morgenstern, ‘Inner’ by Accidental Records artist Ola Szmidt and ‘John’s House’ by Mieko Shimizu. The ‘Write To Be’ EP will be released on Street Furniture Records on Jan 26th 2023.
All the profits of the EPs sales will be donated to St Mungo’s Homeless Charity in London- Homeless Charity – St Mungo’s (mungos.org)
Emerging electronic artist TANYA TANYA steps into the spotlight with her exhilarating debut single, “Through the Fire,” a track that masterfully blends high-energy dance music with raw emotional depth. Infused with the warmth of ‘90s house and the grandiosity of cinematic pop, the song is a stirring declaration of love, resilience, and devotion. From the moment the beat kicks in, listeners are transported into a world of soaring melodies, driving basslines, and shimmering synth textures that pulse with an infectious, uplifting energy. The production is lush and expansive, perfectly complementing TANYA’s commanding vocal delivery. Her voice glides effortlessly between delicate introspection and soaring power, making every lyric feel deeply felt and undeniably anthemic.
What makes “Through the Fire” pop is its ability to marry deep emotion with an undeniable groove. Lyrically, it paints a picture of love that endures against all odds, with lines like “Till the end of the time / For your love, I would kill, I would die” encapsulating the song’s fearless intensity. The hook is instantly memorable too, with its hypnotic repetition of “Through the fire-fire-fire-oh-oh-oh,” ensuring the song lingers in your mind long after it ends. This is dance music at its most affecting—bold, passionate, and designed to make you feel as much as it makes you move. As an introduction to TANYA TANYA’s artistry, “Through the Fire” is nothing short of spectacular, promising a bright future for this rising star in the electronic music scene.
