Here at Unrecorded, we’re all about emerging artists. Born Stranger are an up and coming duo based out of London, creating expansive electronica a la HONNE.

This is a mature debut from a pair who know what they want to sound like and are executing it with confidence and charisma. Keep your eye on the pair throughout this year; there are more releases scheduled over the next few months.
Launchpad: Yakul
Yakul is the freshest outfit to come out of Brighton’s ever-creative climate.

You could align Yakul quite nicely alongside…

The first few sessions I had in Los Angeles were difficult because I wasn’t able to pinpoint the sound I was…
Launchpad: AMERY

With sounds that draw from soul, funk and jazz AMERY employs a contemporary ear for both arrangement and melody writing. The hook is catchy enough to have you humming all day but understated enough that you’ll want to…
Launchpad: Charles
Red. Green. Gold. – Never have three colours sounded quite so tasty. London-based crooner Charles imbues every note with an emotional charge that pulls you in and keeps you rolling with the flow of his new single. It’s probably the strongest debut single I’ve heard this year, with sizzling analogue instrumentation and brazen electronic samples…
