By Tom Fake May 22, 2013 The Hot Five – My views on five tracks that have attracted my interest in any given week, usually with an older track thrown in the mix for something a bit different. Tracks usually concentrate on pop/rock releases, but really focusing on anything and everything that comes my way. Track of the week : Everything Everything  – ‘Duet’ Once again this track was released a few months back, but in honesty it’s taken me a while to get into Everything [...]
Melbourne based, 23 year old Oscar Key Sung singer / songwriter / producer has just released two new tracks that are available to stream and download. His sounds are both mesmerizing and dreamy. He captures that future r'n'b sound perfectly, but also spinning something of his own sound. Oscar has been very busy since becoming part of Two Bright Lakes as one half of Oscar + Martin in 2010. In early 2013 Oscar's beat was picked by MELOGHOST (Ghostpoet x MeLo-X) "WecanWorkitout" and his vocals featured on Andras Fox new LP [...]
Those who need to lift their spirits should turn to Ghostpoet, one of the most intriguing and unique musicians to surface over the last couple of years. While actively playing the part as producer, lyricist and vocalist, the Londoner is dissolving the dividing lines between genres. Ghostpoet (Obaro Ejimiwe) launched his second album Some Say I So I Say Light on May 6th off the Play It Again Sam label, from which ‘Meltdown’ was the first single to drop. British female vocalist Woodpecker Wooliams sang the hook and chorus lines [...]
Since our last pairing , a number of fantastic releases have hit the shelves. A highly anticipated Daft Punk album, a stunning Vampire Weekend full-length, and perhaps the finest 2013 free release thus far in Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap, are just some of the releases we considered. And we such a refreshing month of music upon us, we took it upon ourselves to pair said albums with equally tasty brews. And, just like last week, feel free to add any of your own pairings in the comments section below. Navigate through the pages [...]
Ghostpoet, the quick wit whose 2011 debut got him nominated for a Mercury Prize, released his sophomore effort Some Say I So I Say Light last week on PIAS. Just as compelling as his first ... read more »

Castlepalooza is the last music festival to reveal its lineup I think. It's held in Charleville Castle, Tullamore, Co Offaly, on the August bank holiday weekend, August 2-4. That's the same weekend as Oxegen and Cork's Indiependence so it'll be a battle between the three for punters. This is the [Read more]

Two years ago, Obaro Ejimiwe's debut album caused a bit of a stir. Introverted and proudly mundane, Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam earned the man better known as Ghostpoet a Mercury nomination for his head-turning blend of isolated electronica and observational lyricism. At a time when black music in Britain had come to be defined by the likes Tinchy Stryder and, less embarrassingly, Tinie Tempah, Ghostpoet stood out an artist with more than chart success and breaking America on his mind. This follow-up, the tongue-twisting Some Say I So I Say Light [...]
Ghostpoet -Â Some Say I So I Say Light PIAS: 2013 Since debuting in 2010 with The Sound of Strangers EP, London native Ghostpoet has steadily established himself as one of the most innovative, endearing, and intriguing voices of our time. This was also evident on his debut album, Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam , that arrived a year later to heaps of acclaim. It deftly blended electronic, hip-hop, and other genres with Ghostpoet serving as our guide through a cold and distant world with a glimmer [...]
The wait is over, here is Ghostpoet 's second album, Some Say I So I Say Light You can pre-order it from his site. [via Guardian ]
By Ryan Lake May 4, 2013. Following up on the Mercury prize nominated Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam , Ghostpoet returns with his second full release Some Say I So I Say Light. If you're new to the world of Coventry's own Ghostpoet, prepare for down-tempo stream of consciousness storytelling and cleverly engineered electronic beats. You could describe his style as sounding a bit like Roots Manuva on Ketamine, substituting dub influences for [...]

It has been two years since Ghostpoet (aka Obaro Ejimiwe)  release his debut, Peanut Butter Blues  and Melancholy Jam. Then not so along ago the British wordsmith/produc er announces his sophomore album Some Say I So I Say Light  which will be released on the May 10th, via [PIAS] Australia. Lucky enough we are able to give you an early look on his sophomore album – featuring a range of guests including the great Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen , This Heat's Charles Hayward , and the folksinger Lucy Rose . On this album [...]
In a sense Ghostpoet ’s debut ‘Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam’ was stunning. Ghostpoet presented an intense, dark and slow London-vibe. The album wasn’t an easy listen at all. The beats were misty and subdued, while Ghostpoet’s ‘rapping’ feels like a wave of spontanity; a direct reflection of what goes on in his brain. It feels dreamy and confusing, but his London-tongued voice is lovely; the way he pronounces single words are a pleasure in itself. The album felt like a haze; many peopledidn’t like it because [...]
So I have some good and bad news regarding Ghostpoet 's sophomore full-length, Some Say I So I Say Light . Well, actually the bad news only applies to our U.S. readers, who will have to wait until the fall (!) to purchase the album. Everyone else, on the other hand, will be able to cop it on May 6. That frustration aside, the good (nay, great ) news is that you can hear the entire thing right now. And when I write that you need to hear this , I really, really, REALLY [...]

Obaro Ejimiwe é um poeta que, juntamente com SBTRKT , e com a escola de Tricky bem entranhada na voz e escuridão nas rimas,  floresce nesta nova geração de cantores que faz do dubstep o seu ponto de partida e, meus senhores, de fantasma tem muito pouco. Em 2011 Ghostpoet foi nomeado para um Mercury Prize com o seu disco de estreia Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam , que, não estivesse a competir com a diva PJ Harvey, muito provavelmente teria sido seu. Some Say I So I [...]
