Rocketeer release their new single "Cupid" on February 27th via The Animal Farm. The single will be the first offering from their forthcoming debut album to be released later in 2012. "Cupid" is a change of direction lyrically for Rocketeer as they move away from the fantastical elements of previous singles.

Musically the track is stripped back allowing the lyrics to take centre stage, as the female in question staggers through romantic life and [...]

Murs - Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation Blu Roc: 2011 Where's the 'Transformation'? Did I miss something? Murs is a storyteller. He's a creative non-fiction emcee. He'll take "creative" liberties to embellish, extend and turn an ordinary story into something out of a comic book. It's a device to express the sentiment or moral of the story.
