    Ray Ramon Releases Afrobeats Single “Kilode”

    Nigerian-Australian artist Ray Ramon is set to ignite dance floors once again with the release of his brand-new single, “Kilode”

    Produced by longtime collaborator Dave Cherry aka Andromeda, Kilode is a fusion of Afrobeats, R&B, and Dance-Pop, celebrating rhythm, energy, and self- expression.

    Translating to “What’s the matter?” in Yoruba, the track brings together storytelling and groove in a way that feels both deeply personal and globally accessible.

    “Kilode is my message to everyone who’s ever been misunderstood or underestimated,” says Ray Ramon. “It’s about standing tall, celebrating your individuality, and letting your confidence shine — through rhythm, through music, through life.”

    The single arrives just months after Ray’s major wins at the Radio Music Awards 2025, where he took home Best R&B Group and Best Pop Artist, cementing his reputation as one of Australia’s fast rising independent artists.

    French composer and pianist Mark J Soler turned to Paris for inspiration for his new single “Walking in the City”

    The track is inspired by the daily walks and runs he takes in the French capital. But he’s quick to admit that unlike its reputation as a romantic city, the traffic jams in Paris can be make it difficult to get around. 

    It’s busy city whose reality is far from its ‘romantic’ city reputation,” Mark explains.

    “Traffic and busy people all over the places, but still a beautiful place charged with history. 

    I like to walk and run through the streets or along the river Seine to breathe and capture its energy.”
