@neelatheartist Releases “Let It Down”
Toronto-based, Vancouver-bred R&B-pop singer-songwriter Neela releases the new single “Let It Down” from her forthcoming EP Prelude. This song produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Chin Injeti (Eminem, Pink, Lecrae) marks her re-emergence back into the spotlight after releasing the memorable single “Can’t Let You Take” in March of this year. Neela’s new song “Let It Down” is a thoughtful and catchy R&B track with pop sensibilities that acts as a metaphorical call to freedom for all women who might feel constrained. “Let It Down is really about a woman being in control and owning her desires, her sensuality,” explains Neela. “It’s about being able to move freely without judgement, and walk in your own power. And that was a very important message for me to connect to.”
The clear path to orchestrating Neela’s career began in 2018 when her fashion-forward flair and layered sound had caught the attention of renowned producer Beatchild (Drake, Justin Nozuka, Tanika Charles) who produced her 2018 debut EP Lovers in Danger. Fast forward to today and “Let It Down” highlights Neela’s profoundly vulnerable lyrics and intentionally soulful pop sound.

Grammy-nominated Atlanta rapper Deante’ Hitchcock shares his first new single of the year, “U Were Right I Was Wrong,” out now via ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records.
The slick new single tells the story of Deante’ and his partner in the throes of an argument, cleverly referencing the classic line of “you were right, I was wrong” throughout the song’s chorus. Driven by its sleek, seductive production and Deante’s penchant for clever lyricism, his latest single is a playful ode to the familiar ebbs and flows of a relationship.
Set to release a slew of new music in 2023, “U Were Right I Was Wrong” follows last year’s release of Deante’s single “Alone” and the Valentine’s Day-themed EP Everyday The 14th. Deante’ closed out 2022 with the release of the two-pack project Callin’ All My Children, which showcased a unique blend of Deante’s southern rap roots and retro production influences, with features from Mississippi rapper and producer Big K.R.I.T. and Compton’s Westside Boogie.
Nigerian recording artist Asake releases a brand-new song and music video, “Yoga,” produced by Magicsticks. Shot in Dakar, Senegal, the video was directed by Asake’s frequent creative collaborator TG Omori (WizKid, Burna Boy, Fireboy DML). Per Asake, “the song is about minding my business and guarding my peace so no one can disrupt it.”
The new song arrives on the heels of an explosive year for Asake, with Rolling Stone noting he has “become one of Nigeria’s biggest breakout stars in recent years”. His debut album Mr. Money With The Vibe, released in September via YBNL Nation and EMPIRE, set the record for becoming the highest charting Nigerian debut album of all-time. The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, The FADER, The FACE, and more included the album atop of their ‘Best of 2022’ lists. The album broke the record for the biggest African album release on Apple Music, hitting #1 in 31 countries within the first 24 hours of its release. Listen here!
