Queen Phariah
It's Christmas!
52 Deck Records


Raised in Barbados and born in Britain, London's Queen Phariah wants to celebrate the festive season with style. Influenced by people like Lauren Hill, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston, the Queen's regal sound is undoubtedly worth checking out. Bringing wind and bringing fire, Queen Phariah's voice is the sound of Christmas this year.


A muted piano begins with poignant tones that stir reminiscences and thought. Thumping drums then enter on energetic vibes as Queen Phariah glides through with expressive and uplifting verse lines. A song about realising the time of year and making everything seem magical helps rekindle the festive spirit in all of us. We're treated to choruses that are sing-a-long favourites already as soulful rhythms continue to surge with an R&B chic.

Rofi James
Berlin Wall

Ireland's premiere alt-rock trio Rofi James are back after headline dates with a great single. Since performing across the land to tens of thousands of fans come rain or shine, these guys have paid their dues and then some. Now with hundreds of thousands of Spotify hits to their name and support slots filled beautifully for the likes of Ryan Sheridan, Picture This, and Wild Youth, Rofi James are soon to be the ones at the top of the bill. Electric Picnic, Riverfest, and Fever Pitch festivals have all gladly accommodated this fast-rising act, and this new single with a historical twist is no-doubt ready to be heard on their PAs next time around.


On wings of distortion and bass, the music unravels into synthesisers and drums as laid-back verse lines hit the scene. A cut marks a new energy and the drumming adapts to surge with the input. Moving lines roll with the rhythms as punchy lines hook with each bar. Effects and sound design give the band a uniquely satisfying persona that brings out a digital nuance to the rock n roll sensibility that builds the song.
