fika + Eddy Luna – Mercy

They say good things come to those who wait, and that’s certainly been the case when it comes to the London duo fika. They’re back today with their first release in almost three years, and it’s definitely been worth the wait.

Featuring the talents of Birmingham artist Eddy Luna, ‘Mercy’ is a masterclass in British neo-soul, showcasing a refined style of sound that is both mellow and atmospheric in character.

fika have long solidified their status as one of London’s leading R&B-soul outfits, amassing more than 16 million career streams to date on Spotify alone. Check out their full catalogue of releases here.

Stefan Mahendra + Jackson Mathod + fika – Is It Me?

Following accolades from Jennifer Hudson and time spent touring with Olly Murs, one of London’s most in-demand R&B singers Stefan Mahendra releases his new single ‘Is It Me’, featuring  Jackson Mathod. 

The track is taken from Stefan’s upcoming debut EP, which explores ‘the inherently unpredictable aspects of love’.

“I love the fact that we are all as passionate as each other about music. When we were writing the EP, we got so excited and hyped each other up so much. It’s amazing and exactly the type of energy you want when collaborating. Aside from countless delicious kebabs we consumed (big up J&D Kebabs), we also have a lot of fun just hanging out and I’m so happy to say that fika have become very good friends of mine.”

Fabich + fika – Pretend (feat. Sophia Alexa)

Some of my recent favourite talents team up to create one of the peak songs of the week. Fabich’s ‘Pretend’ features frequent collaborators fika, alongside Sam Sure and Sophia Alexa.

The nostalgia-tinged track flirts between alt-pop and indie, talking about the fleeting love of a perfect summer romance – which like all good things has to come to an end at some point.

fika + Fabich – Love Stories (EP)

“‘Love Stories’ was all about exploring creativity and getting to know one another. There were no preconceptions going into the creation of the record and what it should sound like. We ate donuts, drank beer, and enjoyed each other’s company all before exploring any musical ideas. For us that’s what it’s all about, just creating – some of the songs don’t have a structure, they don’t have a chorus, we just went with the flow. What we ended up with was an organic collection of songs that just so happened to be about love.” – fika

fika + Fabich – Missing Me

A delicate, yet perfect harmony between soulful disco and hazy indie-rock. The song itself is based on a true story from Fabich and his feelings of insecurity about a girl he liked, which inspired fika to come up with the lyric ‘Are you feeling the same thing?’ that led to the creation of ‘Missing Me’.

Taken from the collaborative EP, ‘Love Stories’ which is set to be released in September.
