Rising Artist J. Swiff Drops ‘Lionhearted’ EP

Emerging artist J. Swiff has released his debut EP, Lionhearted. The five-track offering is filled with tales of young romance. From infectious tracks such as “Only One” to “Oh I,” J. Swiff is on the right road to stardom.

“This project was about finding the confidence to really go after something that I love to do, which was to sing,” J. Swiff tells Rated R&B. “Singing has always been something that I wasn’t as confident in. That’s why I changed the title from Confidence to Lionhearted. It took courage for me to step out of my comfort zone and do this project.”

J. Swiff has been receiving positive feedback since the release of Lionhearted, which fuels him to keep going. He is currently shooting a video for “Fantasy” and is already working on the follow-up EP titled Cigars and Sex.

“I am grateful for every opportunity and I thank God that he has blessed me with the good times and the bad times which has made me stronger,” he adds.

Bryson Tiller and Tory Lanez Share New Song ‘Keep in Touch’

Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller “Keep in Touch” with their distant lovers on their new collaboration. Tiller kicks off the retrospective track with a sweet ode to an old honey.

“You always got me on standby, when you know I need love,” Tiller coos. “I’m missing when we was us, Miss when I wasn’t famous / That’s when we could be us.”

Lanez picks up the phone and expresses his feelings to his old flame, singing, “I’m in first class, thinking about how you would get me right /Damn near made me miss the flight.”

“Keep in Touch” is set to appear on Lanez’ upcoming album, Love Me Now? The new project follows Memories Don’t Lie, which was released in March.

“I honestly can say that I’m more excited about this project than any of my previous ones,” commented Lanez on Love Me Now? “I feel like I’ve over-analyzed how musical and lyrical and balanced my albums had to be, therefore making the process take longer. This time around I’m just in a great space creatively and I don’t care about the opinions of anybody but my fans and real supporters.”

Tiller is working on Serenity, his follow-up to 2017’s True to Self. He is featured on H.E.R.’s new project, I Used to Know Her.

Leon Thomas Shares New Song ‘PLW’

Leon Thomas celebrates the power of women on his new single “PLW.” Short for “pretty little weapon,” the sharp guitar solo hears Thomas praising the sophisticated swag of his special lady.

“She’s a high heels killer, with the moves like Thriller / Only five-star dinner, she’s a sometimes sinner,” he sings in his amazing falsetto.

“PLW” is the third offering from Thomas’ forthcoming EP, Genesis, due this Friday (Aug. 24) on Priority Records. The 7-track project will include his Buddy-assisted single “Favorite” and “Sunken Place.” Elle Varner has lent her jazz cadence to a track titled “Beg.”

Mentored by music legend Babyface, Thomas is also one-half of the production/songwriting duo, The Rascals. They have worked with a variety of stars including Toni Braxton, Ariana Grande and Ty Dolla $ign, among others.
