Shotty Horroh

Salt of the Earth is a musical shot in the arm from once Battle-rapper Shotty Horroh (his real name: Adam Rooney). A Manchester transplant with a penchant for clever lyrics, Salt of the Earth is Horroh's first foray into rock and roll. As a Canadian release, this album is unlike anything one might expect to emerge from Toronto. Drenched in Horroh's thick Manc accent, Salt of the Earth comes off like something that's risen out of the sweat-soaked nightclubs in the UK. There are elements of Horroh's battle-rap days on a few of the songs, but these bits are delivered as clever song lyrics and not something he's built up to take down an opponent in a musical face-off.

James Arthur is the 2012 X factor winner, with his debut single ‘Impossible’ becoming the biggest X factor winner’s song of all time. The single kept the #1 chart spot for 3 weeks, won platinum in the UK and was nominated for a Brit Award. His self-titled first album, featuring the No.2 single “You’re Nobody Until Somebody Loves You” and collaborations with Naughty Boy and Emeli Sande, was certified Gold in the UK after worldwide sales of over 400,000. However, months after his debut single and album was finally usurped from the top spot, the struggles of the limelight became too much for the singer and in his own words, he “cracked”. Fast forward 2 years, James is a very different animal in 2016 and managed to process his experiences on his new album BACK FROM THE EDGE, which will be released 28th October. BACK FROM THE EDGE’s first single SAY YOU WON’T LET GO, released September 9, is the sound board for what has been a turbulent career, still very much in its infancy. Apart from the deeply emotional ballad, the album presents many songs with a personal experience.
