soul

She's no stranger to us at UD HQ.

A.L. has recently released her long-awaited project 'A.L. VS J Dilla - The LB EP', which sees the East London bubbly singer creating magic over J. Dilla's beats.

The 16-track EP also features Stutta, Mercston and Bruts, who contribute with their impeccable flow to the laid back and soulful vibe of the release adding it to 'perfect-music-to-jam-to' category.

Hailing from south London and Brit School graduate, nu-soul singer Tawiah has given away 'Run' EP as her early Christmas present for us all.

Tawiah is not new to the music circuit. Having performed with Mark Ronson at his gigs and having won Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Award as Best Newcomer, the "twisted soul" artist has been putting the work in for a while, but if you're new to her sound she will simply mesmerise you with her vocals.

One of the pillars of UK soul and r'n'b, Terri Walker has been mesmerising us with her voice for years and she always blows us away whenever she drops some new material. 

After their previous collaboration 'When Angels Sing', Ms Walker went back to the booth and, with Donaeo on production, 'He Loves Me' is the product, which will be released in 2012.

In the lead-up to her performance at RE:Definition (BUY TICKETS HERE) we caught up with the cool, calm and collected R&B songstress (and Urban Development 'One To Watch 2011' act) that is Lovelle to talk music…

Three words to describe your sound?

Cool, honest and Lovelle. 


What musical styles and artists have influenced your music?

For the last 10 years Urban Development has been inspiring a host of up and coming music talent from east London and beyond. Through our Industry Takeover music seminars and showcases we’ve helped many of today’s starts along the road to success…

With UK artists such as Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk, Katy B and Labrinth making a killing in the charts, it’s no surprise that more and more urban acts believe that there’s never been a better time to breakthrough. How to go about that can seem a mystery – but not anymore.
