Cam Anthony releases a heartfelt R&B single, entitled, “Keep It Between Us”
|
|
Cam Anthony is a talented singer-songwriter from Philadelphia, PA. Not too long ago, he released a heartfelt R&B single, entitled, “Keep It Between Us,” via Republic Records.
“‘Keep It Between Us’ gave me room to really sing. It’s definitely a mix between classic and modern R&B. I want to create staple songs like the ones we grew up with. Lyrically, it’s about the unspoken language you have with someone else. It doesn’t have to be a person you’re in a relationship with; it could be someone you’re pursuing. It’s a mixture of feelings, but the main thing is to keep it between you both. When you listen to me, I hope you can relate the music to your life. I want to give you a full experience and sing the soundtrack to your love story.” – Cam Anthony explained
When Cam Anthony recognized the power of his voice, he found his purpose. So far, he has brought The Apollo to its feet, performed at the request of The Obama family multiple times, and earned the respect of legends such as Dr. Dre. As a kid back in North Philly, he began to hone his talents as part of the church choir before eventually uploading covers to YouTube. He gained traction with renditions of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come,” Bruno Mars’ “When I was Your Man,” and Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.” The latter exploded to the tune of nearly 10 million views.

Delilah Blower releases a lovely debut single, entitled, “This Ain’t Love”
|
|
Delilah Blower is an up-and-coming Spain-based singer-songwriter from the UK. Not too long ago, she released a lovely debut single, entitled, “This Ain’t Love,” which contains a post-relationship-based narrative and ear-pleasing vocals that will resonate well with fans of Mahalia, Ama Lou, and RIMON.
“‘And all of the pain you threw, now grows inside of you.’ This song was the easiest one I’ve ever written, just because they were my actual feelings at the time, and I wanted to express them through the simplest words possible. The lyric itself is referencing how someone you’ve been with a long time or have cared about deeply has been throwing and building hurtful things constantly over time to then have the realization that it wasn’t love and all of those hurtful things have probably been growing inside of that someone and will most definitely continue to for a long, long time.”– Delilah Blower explained
Delilah Blower began making music around the age of 14 and learned to cultivate her own musical style around the age of 18. Being inspired by the likes of Robert Glasper, Q-Tip, and jazz musicians, the rising star began to curate a fusion of jazz and hip-hop into her ever-evolving sound. When moving to Spain in her adolescent years, Delilah began incorporating Spanish influences into her music. She blends elements of bossa nova, jazz, Spanish, and R&B into this luscious, dreamy soundscape heard in her project.
