Sevad: Revelation Time – Single Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com. At Pauzeradio we value the notion of commitment to up-and-coming artists. So, it’s always a pleasure to come back to someone we’ve appraised before. But it’s even better when you can hear how the artist has grown since their last effort. Welcome back, Sevad. Sevad Revelation Time, released via Sevad Music House Records on the 5th August 2020, sees this up-and-coming man strip his sound back to a more old skool, Roots affair – after the genre smashing witnessed on his album, Black Man’s Government.

Omari Banks: Like a King Single Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com. One of the kings of Reggae-Soul (with Blues and Calypso in the mix as well), Omari Banks is no stranger to musical legend; his dad being the colossus Bankie Banx. But like father, like son – Banks has entered iconic territory himself. And his latest track shows why. Omari Banks Like a King, released via ONErpm, sees Banks on scorching form.

Cali P: Hit Like Gunshot Single Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com. Cali P is the master of hard-hitting, searingly conscious yet modern and accessible music. His EPs with producer Teka (Vizion I and II) were both works of art. Now, in response to the murder of George Floyd, the two visionaries are back – and the result is succinct and furious.
