Lucid Interview
Street soul, a combination of Hip-Hop, soul and R&B, is the sound being created by the Netherlands-based duo Lucid. Formed in 2012 and comprised of vocalists Janice and Juliet, the sexy Dutch duo originally met in university while both studying media before switching to music and each getting accepted into the Herman Brood Academie in Utrecht. After a trip to the U.S. that same year, Lucid went full force with their career, returning to America in 2013 to perform live at various venues and forming collaborations. In the works to release their debut album "Poisoned Pawns", Juliet and Janice dropped a video for the hypnotic song "Stranger To Me" earlier this year, followed by their recent video "Celebration", which documents the ladies' recent voyage in Brussels. The LP will straddle the sounds of Hip-Hop, soul, R&B and trap. With sultry vocals backed by rich, soulful production, Lucid are a pair of talented beauties that you should definitely get to know.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Liverpool has had more music artists with number one records than any other city in the world. Dubbed the 'City of Pop', Liverpool's history of pumping out hit acts extends beyond those infamous four lads responsible for helping to change the landscape of music. It's also no surprise that Liverpool is the city that singer/songwriter Jennifer Davies calls home. Sonically polished with a multifaceted style of pop nirvana, Davies is set to shoot to the stars with a sound that contains an irresistible charm and flair.
ColoRising Interview with Jennifer Davies
Jennifer Davies' current EP "Lapse of Time" is a 5-song package of stadium-status pop and indie, graced with catchy hooks, personal songwriting and the impressively grand production of Tord Knudsen of The Wombats fame. With each song on the EP a possible hit record, Davies has all of her bases covered to gain certified chart success in an organic fashion. Similar to the pop tradition that is steeped in Liverpudlian culture, Davies' legitimate star-like qualities and imperial sound is helping to comfortably place her in a position to bring home not only a hit for herself and her team, but another one for her city.
