The focus single for the album will be '"Cruel Heart" which will be accompanied by a music video directed by Quentin Deronzier (Doja Cat, The Weeknd, Drake, Maluma, etc.) "I started composing Cruel Heart in 2019 during a trip to California. The vocal hook that makes up the chorus had been stuck in my head for several years. My friend Hugo, whom you know as Madeon, wanted to participate in the writing process. We often have late-night discussions on various topics: from the paradoxes of life in Los Angeles to our shared passion for investing in characters to write from their perspective. For Cruel Heart, we wanted to detail all the toxic traits we observe in many passionate romantic relationships. The darkness of the arrangement and the musical intention perfectly fit this theme." - Petit Biscuit

This new release marks another milestone in Craig's impressive career, blending personal experiences with an infectious indie vibe. Craig explains the inspiration behind ‘Falling in Love,’ saying, “This song is my anthem to the chaos of chasing boys who are unavailable. I joke about needing heartbreak for inspiration, but this track proves it! It's about a particular boy I fell for after just one night together—a reminder of how embarrassingly fast I catch feelings, especially for those who aren't available in that way. There's something thrilling about falling for someone who's always just a bit out of reach. It's chaotic, it's painful, and if you step back, it's kind of hilarious. This track is me owning up to my messy love life. What’s a little heartbreak anyway?” Danny and Craig got really real about their 'Red flags'.

Sanger-liedjieskrywer Tian Nienaber is weer gereed om gehore te betower met sy aangrypende nuwe enkelsnit en video 'Knip die Tou' beskikbaar vandag! Terwyl hy die kompleksiteite van verhoudings ondersoek, weerklink die lied diep as Nienaber persoonlike ervarings deel van om vasgevang te voel in siklusse van vrugtelose pogings om gebreekte verhoudings te herstel. Hierdie aangrypende verhaal reflekteer op die besef dat soms die moedigste daad is om los te laat. Sy diep lirieke en emosionele melodieë bied troos en insig aan diegene wat soortgelyke stryde ervaar. Tian deel dat ‘'Knip die Tou' handel oor verhoudings waarin jy net aanhou probeer, selfs wanneer dinge blykbaar nie uitwerk nie. Ek was in die verlede in 'n paar verhoudings waar ons sou baklei, opbreek en dan weer saam sou wees. Dit lyk asof ek vasgevang is in 'n siklus waar ek steeds dieselfde probleme ondervind terwyl ek probeer om dinge reg te stel wat ooglopend stukkend is. Dit was iets waarmee ek vir 'n rukkie gesukkel het, soort van dinge tot 'n gevolgtrekking te bring. Ek het nog altyd die oortuiging gehad dat iets moet uitwerk ... die klassieke ‘Liefde is genoeg’ ingesteldheid. Ongelukkig is dit nie altyd die situasie nie. Soms is verhoudings nie bedoel om te hou nie, en aangesien jy nie die kwessie kan aanpak nie, is dit die beste om op te breek as om jou verhouding verder te beskadig. Om dit verder uit te brei as wat nodig is, veroorsaak uiteindelik meer skade as goed vir alle betrokke partye.’

Loki says that his single, "Nog Een", which he recorded together with Die Heuwels Fantasties, already had its origins in 2018. "I was busy with music for the kykNET series Tydelik Terminaal at the time. The score for this series had a strong electronic feel to it. At the same time, I was busy with the writing and recording of my debut Afrikaans album, that took almost four years to complete. I needed three more songs to complete te album. A 40 second- piece of music for the Tydelik Terminaal soundtrack stuck with me and inspired the chorus and verse of the single “Nog Een.” I just knew that I had to ask Die Heuwels Fantasties if they would be keen to collab on this particular track. It was a perfect fit. Pierre Greeff from Die Heuwels Fantasties has been working with Loki on various music productions and projects for many years. He says: “Loki can do absolutely everything.

“I believe music is a form of therapy,” says Thapelo. As a member of the LGBQTI community, and a newcomer to the South African music scene, the singer is coming in guns blazing with a beautiful pop / RnB track and the message that ‘Love has no gender’. Teaming up with the renowned singer and producer, Gino Lee, the two not only put together a powerful composition, but the song, titled ‘Caught Up’, also served as a cathartic process for Thapelo and an anthem for same-sex relationships. Fresh from his own broken relationship, the songwriter was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions at the time and decided to put pen to paper. He explains, “I was in a relationship with someone I loved deeply. It was that ‘I’ll do anything for you’ kind of love. I gave everything I had, but got nothing in return. I knew I was fighting a losing battle to a point where I was having sleepless nights.” Thapelo, knowing the relationship was toxic, finally built up the courage to leave. Through this song, the singer hopes to create awareness that people of the LGBTQI community experience love and durable relationships, same as everyone else. He says, “I write about my personal experiences, but the music speaks to similar experiences that others can relate to. There are still many people who don’t understand the concept of homosexual relationships, but we also fall in love and enter into committed relationships. We go through the same challenges that heterosexual people do.”

The label is also home to US singer-songwriter Baker Grace who has been captivating international audiences with her incredible solo releases.

As with the initial recording of ‘Missing You’, once-again Joss and Baker connected across the ocean to create this acoustic version with Joss recording from South Africa and Baker from the USA. This is what they both had to say about producing this special version: “Over the moon that we decided to strip down this song. The essence of where it came from started with guitar and Baker Grace in a room over in the USA and so I’m glad I got to become part of that in this acoustic version. Really amplifies the message of the song that I feel it resonates with so many at some point in their life. Excited to hear what people have to say about it.” – Joss Austin “I really love the acoustic version because it gives the lyrics and raw emotion in this song a chance to shine. It also emphasizes how well our voices work together. It is always so great connecting with Joss and working together miles apart, although challenging with time differences. I recorded it in my home studio in New Jersey and the video was recorded on an iPhone in my bedroom. Amazing what you can do with just one phone and one light these days!” – Baker Grace

A new podcast series that maps not only the practical aspects of psychiatry, but also its purpose and shares a broader view on the service and outcomes that the discipline provides to society. The podcast series Beyond Madness, hosted by founder and editor in chief of South African Psychiatry Professor Christopher Paul Szabo, intends to share the narrative of the discipline and in the process demystify both psychiatry and the plight of those afflicted with mental illness. “The idea of a podcast came as a natural extension of the work related to South African Psychiatry, which provides a platform for content that is not only for the discipline of psychiatry but importantly about the discipline,” says Professor Szabo. “The written word is one thing, the spoken word another. Moreover, the interactive nature of the podcast medium allows for the emergence of thoughts and ideas beyond a published piece.” He hopes that the podcasts will reach clinical professionals as well as resonate with the general public. “If patient care is at the centre of our efforts, then information impacting on such care should be accessible. Patients have families, friends, colleagues – all of whom are impacted by patient well-being. In this sense, patients impact communities and society at large,” Professor Szabo adds. And October is Mental Health awareness month. Professor Szabo selected the title of the podcast series carefully. It is intentionally slightly provocative but at the same time intended to highlight that there is a narrative to mental illness, and it is a layered story.

The film was shot in one long continuous take. It is short, measuring about 90 seconds, however, there are no cuts or edits between the footage. Using a Bolt, Robert is one of only a handful of directors who have had access to this incredible piece of tech. He chats to me about the film, but also about changing his life path at 30, proving that you don't ever need to have it all together! Listen here:

Aaaaaand... we are back in level 4. Almost full circle in almost one year! This means we are back to where we started, baking banana bread and cleaning out the cupboards, right? Wrong! This means we have another opportunity to get the foundation right! And this time, Izelle is starting us off with breakfast! Her kind of breakfast, of course! Oats, two ways from her 'Mindful Eating' cookbook!

Danny Painter and Izelle Hoffman are talking about brain chemicals in today's #MindfulLivingTuesday! Every week, they hang out on a Zoom call and talk about health, wellness, and self love. Izelle is an award-winning lifestyle chef who lives and eats mindfully in every single way! After growing up with hip dysplasia and going through many, many surgeries, Izelle took her health into her own hands, and started eating the way her body needed! She then took everything she learned and turned it into both a cookbook and a lifestyle to help other people! This week, Danny and Izelle are talking about hacking your brain and eating to make yourself happy, but does it work? And what can we do? Well, Izelle has a recipe!

With so much conflicting information out there about training and nutrition, how do we know which one is the right one? Well, it's really specific to you as a human, your physiology, and the way your body responds to training but, Danny and Izelle have been lifting weights for years and as you can see, have two completely different body types and hold weight differently. However, the one thing that remains true with both of them is that the cleaner the eating, the leaner the muscle. Danny is currently focussing more on nutrition and less on training, whereas Izelle is focussed holistically on her journey. But, what works? What has worked for them in the past and what could work for you?

With the cold front here, we are reaching for the treats and the comfort food - but how can we comfort eat while honouring our bodies? Danny and Izelle are talking about cravings, pain, and comfort in this winter. COVID-19 fatigue and isolation are getting us down and now the weather has turned, we need something warming - a hug in a mug! That hug is coming in the form of Izelle's Rosa tomato soup!

At the age of eight, this powerhouse had her goal clearly defined and by 11, she was playlisted on radio with her band! Now, Mila Smith is releasing her own music on her own terms, unapologetically herself and ready to take over the world! After massive success with her band, the Skyscrapers, and their hit single 'Just Kids', Mila has signed to an international record label and has dropped her brand new solo project, 'Liars and Fakes', along with a very cool music video! I spoke to her about her rise, her career to date, and the plans for the future, and all I can say is, world, watch out, because Mila is coming for everything!

If you're even close to my age group, you will hear her voice and be transported right back to the days of freedom, friends and Thrashers skate park in Pretoria. The former front woman of Henry Ate has had her share of massive success both locally and internationally, with songs like 'Just' and 'Hey Mister' you know her voice, the sound of a lifetime we left behind. But, Karma is back. After an 8 year break she has just dropped a new single called 'Hold me' that is exactly everything we needed after such a log break! It's everything we remember and so much more. It will grab you by the heartstrings and pull you right back into her incredible voice, and if you watch the video - even better!

2020 kicked off with a bang for the local band with the exclusive Global Citizen #TogetherAtHome campaign, the release of their stellar radio hits, ‘Haters’ and ‘Last Forever’, gaining traction across the globe on notable Spotify playlists, and climbing the charts on major radio stations across the country. This year, the band look to keep their foot on the pedal with the release of their much anticipated next single titled, ‘22’ , an upbeat summer anthem already finding its place on charts at home with nostalgia-riddled lyrics which throws back to their early days - living and touring in their adolescence. ‘When writing this song I wanted to channel a feel-good energy of our journey so far as a band and as individuals, which also relates closely enough to the memories we all experienced in our early twenties. A care-free, adventurous and invincible time of life,’ says frontman Tristan Coetzee. The new single speaks to the trials of growing up and getting tied up in the laborious realities of adulthood, often losing touch with our younger selves. This is rounded up with a call to shed that pressure and go back to the care-free living we know and want. Listen here

This week, Danny and Izelle are shifting perspective and embracing change, because everything happens for a reason! Normally, these two Mindfulness Warriors meet on a Tuesday to talk about all things health and wellness, but Danny had a rough Tuesday and after a power outage they decided to look at the silver lining instead of being sad about missing a show! And, Wellness Wednesday was born - for this week! Using the lessons learned yesterday by the duo, they unpack how framing your reactions to obstacles differently can affect the outcome of the situation! You get to choose, always. if it's going to be positive or negative. You always have the power.

Julanie J is an award-winning, powerhouse singer/songwriter from Cape Town who is playlist across the country. She's also a woman in love with the man of her dreams!

We all have fears, some of them worse than others, but are yours holding you back? This week in their mindful living podcast, Danny Painter and Izelle Hoffman talk about fear, overcoming it, and never allowing it to limit you and your capabilities! Every week, Izelle joins Danny on a Zoom to chat about living mindfully and eating great food with amazing humans - this week is no different!

Only, this time, it's healthy and will make both you and your body happy! Every Tuesday, Izelle Hoffman joins us on Zoom to chat about all things Mindful Living; the eating, the cooking, the drinking, the watching, and the thinking. This week she's taking us back to a childhood favourite! With the weather turning, the crisp in the air is reminding me of winter Sunday mornings when I would creep out of bed while my parents slept, make some breakfast, and binge watch 'Barney' and 'Farthing Woods' until they emerged! Obviously, I couldn't make a bang up breakfast, so it was trusty old chocolate covered rice pops - you know the ones! This week we are making the 'Izelle Hoffman approved' ones!

After a small break, Brent Lindeque is back with more Good Things! This week we speak about animals, mental health, helping our neighbours and more animals! But we need to start with our family in Cape Town and how we can help them, listen here:

He's one of the most prolific producers and Dj's of the time, soaring high and playing at some of the biggest festivals the world over, and then, lockdown happened. The Greek / Zambian artist has long been a favourite on Jacaranda Fm, and nothing seems to be changing! With his latest offering 'Lost' in he colabs with the incredible Adekunle Gold in a thought provoking, sad but uplifting song! Having recently signed to Ultra records, EL Mukuka is set to take over the word - as soon as he can, and we are ready!

In a recent article I read from the Harvard Review, they talk about the 'power' of small wins. The Power of small wins - that made me think long and hard about the use of the word 'power' in that context and, I have to admit that small wins, are indeed powerful. From the 1kg scale victory to the making of the bed, the small wins are the ones that hold the most power over whether the good habits are formed or the not-so-good ones remain, and I think we should be celebrating them! You should be celebrating you much, much more!

This week on #MindfulLivingTuesday Danny and Izelle speak about karma and purposeful living!
