Soul Funk N More
-
Following on from the upbeat single ’Runnin’ Wild’, Olivier St.Louis returns to First Word with a brand new track - ‘Confliction’ featuring fellow DC alumni, Oddisee.
This one is on more of a downbeat alternative-soul tip than the previous track, accompanied by Oddisee’s low-slung boom bap beats and bars.
Olivier says of the track “my identity was forged in conflict; From language and spirituality to race, from animism to catholicism. From West African languages to French, from black to white. With each disruption came acceptance, adaptation and rebirth. Change comes for us all. No one is exempt. What will you do when it's your turn?”
Olivier was born in Washington DC of Haitian and Cameroon heritage, but spent his teens studying in the UK. As a teenager, his CD and tape collection would encompass a wide range of genres, from hip hop and r&b to garage and British alternative rock. A bio-science student, Olivier couldn't suppress his true passion for music. After graduating, he took on a "Jekyll and Hyde" lifestyle; working as a scientist in the day, and a musician at night.
His work as a recording artist eventually led to his debut release in 2011, 'The Mr. Saint Louis EP', released under the moniker Olivier Daysoul and also produced by longtime collaborator, Oddisee.
From here on, Olivier began laying down vocals, collaborating and touring with a wide-range of artists over the following years, including Hudson Mohawke, C2C, Laura Mvula and German rockers, AnnenMayKantereit.
After taking a hiatus from feature work, Olivier decided to concentrate on nurturing his own sound. Embracing a newfound love for blues, rock and funk, a series of late night sessions saw him engulfed in new soundscapes, and reverting back to his birth name, Olivier St.Louis. This saw him release two critically-acclaimed EPs with Berlin-based label, Jakarta, and the release of 'The Serious EP' with Bibio on Warp Records.
Following world tours with many of the afore-mentioned, in 2020 Olivier has been working on all-new material for Worldwide Award-winning London label, First Word Records.
When asked his thoughts on his artistry, Olivier St. Louis simply states "no punches pulled, no compromises, just me".credits

Flevans continues his mission to bring funk magic to the masses. On 'Realisation', he teams up with south coast songstress Laura Vane in the next chapter of a songwriting partnership that has taken clubs and airwaves by storm.
'Realisation' takes the best parts of the groove and feel of 80’s boogie classics and updates them with next level 2020 production skills while an extremely catchy hook makes certain this song will be in your head all year long.
Formerly with Tru Thoughts and now signed to Jalapeno Records - it’s fair to say that Mr Flevans has got a type… that type being Brighton labels with an ear for quality. No need to pop up to London – it’s all right here on his doorstep.credits

V1: I know that I don’t look the same way
That I once did when we first met before
But do you still love me in the same way
Well if you do I sure don’t feel it anymore
Cuz you don’t love me
Long enough
Why don’t you kiss me
With that same long burning passion?
I just wanna know what happened
Would you say?
Could you say?
I wanna know
Chorus:
Cuz damn I really love you baby
But it’s feeling like a chore
Cuz damn I really love you baby
But do you love me anymore?
Damn I really love you baby
But it’s feeling like a fight
Cuz damn I really love you baby
But you can’t love me right
Can’t love me right
damn I really love you baby (3x)
V2: I spent my mornings in the mirror
Just thinking to myself about what more I’d do
Just to get you to remember how felt before
Do you need something new?
I could put on my pretty red dress and
Wear my hair high and
Go and get my nails did
Learn some new tricks
What would you say?
Could you say?
I wanna know

An ode to 90’s R&B, Amerigo Gazaway and Xiomara’s “1990” album is a nostalgic love letter to an era that redefined the genre. Known for his work reinterpreting classics, Gazaway (most recently tapped by the Miles Davis estate for his work on the lost Rubberband sessions), steps out of his role as a remixer and gives Bay Area artist, Xiomara, the bedrock for her voice to flourish.
With her breakout 2016 release “Seven Nineteen,” Xiomara’s soulful debut took home top rankings in SF Weekly’s “5 Best Bay Area Albums of 2016” list and led to guest spots on releases from Son Little, Blu, and Oh No to name a few. Leaning heavy on Xiomara’s songwriting and arrangement chops, the newly formed duo spent the last year crafting a collaboration as original as it is reminiscent.

STREAM / DOWNLOAD ‘LOWLIGHT EP’ HERE: https://highfocus.lnk.to/Lowlight
Brought to the attention of High Focus Records through his stellar production work with long time collaborator, and our newest signing, Coops; Talos has been creating a name for himself with his signature smoothed out sound for quite some time now, his dusty sound can be found all over the recently released 'No brainer' and Coops' earlier critically acclaimed material 'Lost Soul' & 'God Complex'. Enter ’Lowlight’ EP, Talos’ first solo release on High Focus, and as you can imagine, it is as cool as can be; a record made in the late Summer inspired by the long nights and dreamy sunsets of the season. To bring things to the next level, Talos has brought in some of the brightest young talents London has to offer, from Jazz (Nubya Garcia), Hip Hop (Coops) & R’n’B (Jerome Thomas & Poppy Ajudha) scenes all adding their distinct dulcet tones to this smooth and sophisticated body of work. Relaxed, mellow, dusty - the perfect accompaniment to these long summer evenings, especially to those orange/pink skies. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Started off to work this morning
Found myself outside your door
Ooooh, And I'ts not the first time that it's happened
But don’t think I can take it much more
Bridge:
(Hmm….well I) Lost my appetite, I just can't eat
And when I close my eyes at night, I just can't sleep
Don't work your ears on me
But I thank you girl, it's me
Can't complain, can't complain, baby
Verse 2:
Cosmic feelings droppin' down my spine
Radiating from your angel eyes
When I touch you, girl, I want to touch you more
You're the one I've been waiting for
Chrous:
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love (falling in love)
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love (falling in love)
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love (uh huh)
I think I'm falling in love (In love)
Falling In Love
Verse 3:
Cosmic feelings droppin' down my spine
Radiating from your angel eyes (Those angel eyes yeah)
When I touch you, girl, I want to touch you more
You're the one I've been waiting for (Waiting for)
(Hmm…well)
Chorus:
And if you really wanna know the truth about it (oooh)
I think I'm falling in love (I think I’m falling in love)
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love (Falling In Love)
And if you really wanna know the truth about it (Wanna know)
I think I'm falling in love (falling in love)
And if you really wanna know the truth about it
I think I'm falling in love (Falling In Love)
(Repeats)
Can't eat, baby can't sleep
Got me walking up and down the street (Ooooh)
Trying to get myself together (3x)
Come on, come on
Outro:
I think I'm falling in love (In love)
Falling In Love
I think I'm falling in love (In love)
Falling In Love

lyrics to the head:
I am calling out your name
in the dark as the wind swept
I think that we could inherit carats of gold, that have not been found yet
‘Cuz your a testament of God
Shaking the skies until there’s no thunder left
Peep game though
Keep all them griots outside of the poorhouse
The lifeblood is flowing in lanes of the tour route
I am calling out your name
Know that I mean it
I am calling to tell that this all is ours
And if we make a plan, we can take
All the lands and the dreams that they ever have stolen from us
Then remake
A new world in a self image that is true and robust
I am calling out your name so just answer me,
I want your mind to be free.
Temporary Whatever-
