Runner-up of this year’s The Voice UK, Jolan has unveiled his new 4-track EP, ‘Parallel’ released via Virgin.

The Urban Renewal Project featuring Gavin Turek – ‘Armor Love’

Are The Urban Renewal Project the largest musical collective we’ve featured on this segment of the site? I think so. The 13-piece group explore the boundaries between rock, pop, jazz, and hip-hop. Gavin Turek joins the group for the modern disco anthem ‘Armor Love’, perfect for the holiday parties.
