Life Goes On - New release from

Collistar’s latest song, ‘Life Goes On’, shares the pain in the mundane. This mellow UK garage track intricately examines the past, present and future worries of a young man in London. The West London prodigy recently teamed up with Hydration Records to reach out to UK listeners with a welcome offering: a timely, reassuring anthem in an age of confusion for many.

Collistar continues to establish himself as the primary social commentator of Christian hip-hop. He first rose to prominence during the grime revival of 2019. Witty, ironic and quintessentially British, his music dissects the cultural heart of the UK. With an increasing number of plays on BBC Radio 1Xtra, his recent album, G.N.T.G, was awarded Album of the Year by MRXCY Music.

After deleting his debut project, Welcome to Britain, which had accumulated millions of plays, Collistar’s debut single ‘1952’

Collistar

reintroduced the artist as a Christian rapper. With a balance of old fans and new, there is an alluring sense of mystery surrounding Collistar’s musical direction. Will there be a Welcome to Britain 2, and will he live up to the potential he first showcased back in 2019? If ‘Life Goes On’ is anything to go by, Collistar’s prospects certainly seem bright.

Coco Dupree makes her eagerly awaited return to Christian R&B Music

Just like her love for Christ, Coco Dupree can’t be contained or confined. Having made her name as a widely acclaimed professional dancer and back-up singer, Dupree continues to expand her artistic expression of faith.

Back in 2011, Dupree announced herself on the Christian R&B stage with an eclectic and genre-blending range of singles, such as her high-profile Triple O collaborations, ‘Real Talk’, and ‘Take It Away’

The South-East Londoner then chose to dedicate her skillset towards building a successful dance career, while still satisfying her musical impulses through a variety of illustrious back-up singing credits.

For instance, Coco Dupree was asked to offer her vocals on songs by numerous big-name artists, from Wretch 32 to Pixie Lott. Now, though, it’s time for Dupree to step into her own spotlight.

Almost exactly a decade after she released her debut single, Coco Dupree dropped her faith-filled, R&B-inspired song, ‘Done It’, in 2021. It’s an introspective, beat-driven anthem that highlights Dupree’s dexterous, serpentine vocals. The track finds the UK artist reflecting on the innumerable ways in which Christ has offered her much-needed guidance and respite from her struggles.

Off the back of the single, Coco Dupree has returned to the studio and is currently perfecting her upcoming project. The album will incorporate a range of stylistic influences and will venture into exciting new sonic terrain.

But amidst all the experimentation and musical shape-shifting that Coco Dupree is becoming synonymous with, at the heart of the record there will be the same unwavering, unflinching commitment to Christ that has continually formed the bedrock of Dupree’s creative endeavours.
