In the Face of Covid, Hate and Extreme Prejudice, Jon Scott is Set to Release New EP
Whilst balancing his day job as a top lawyer with his own firm, London-based songwriter and musician Jon Scott is set to release new EP ‘Freedom- A New Jerusalem’- a crystalisation of his observations of the world as it battles against not only the effects of COVID-19 but also the social issues highlighted by the Black Lives Matters movement.

Out of all the craziness, hatred, spite and nastiness, the majority of folk all around the world marched together to stand up for what is blatantly right. It’s a seminal moment, era-defining and world awakening, particularly given the fact that this all occurred in lock down.
In particular, I hope that the video will be a picture c..

Soul-Hop artist I.Am.Tru.Starr drops his new album ‘Viva’, including a hymn to Black Lives Matter
I.Am.Tru.Starr’s new album ‘Viva’ is a perfect combination of music derived from hard hitting realities as well as a battle cry for change, noticeably seen in his tracks ‘Kenzo’ and ‘Something’s Gotta Change’.
Most importantly I.Am.Tru.Starr is showing his deep appreciation for life and the things that really matter:
“Family, love and legacy. Not this bullshit society tries to get you to put priority on like money or the new hot car or whatever they want you to be enamoured with, then turn around and make you feel like shit for not having it. Growing up in Rochester and getting caught up in those streets up there, I thought that was what life was. Fast forward a few years, I’m living in Vegas, became a father and I now see what life is and all it can be and just how beautiful it is. We are all in a place of appreciation for life and the things that truly matter. VIVA! Long live us!”

NEW VIDEO: Alicia Keys ‘Perfect Way to Die’
Alicia Keys has shared her new video to her new track ‘Perfect Way to Die’.
The new video, directed by Chris Robinson, sees Keys sat at the piano while images of people killed as a result of police brutality, including George Floyd, are projected onto buildings.
When speaking about the ballad on her instagram, Keys wrote “I have felt called by music like I have never felt before. I have been following its lead. It has led me to the song ‘A Perfect Way to Die.’ The song title is so powerful and heartbreaking because WE are heartbroken by so many who have died unjustly. Of course, there is NO perfect way to die. That phrase doesn’t even make sense. Just like it doesn’t make sense that there are so many innocent lives that should not have been taken from us due to the destructive culture of police violence.”
Alicia debuted the emotional new track for the BET Awards.
