Brief Encounter is the latest instalment from Project Alfie, which was written alongside The Invisible Men (Rita Ora, Jessie J and Dizzee Rascal). Brief Encounter follows the release of Project Alfie’s debut mixtape, which received critical acclaim from 1Xtra DJs including Semtex and CJ Beatz, and was downloaded by more than 26,000 fans.
Since the release of The Project Alfie Mixtape, and the first single Beggin’, Alfie has travelled to New York where he worked with The Hitmen (Jay-Z, Nas, Mary J Blige, Notorious BIG), and now looks set to be the next featured artist on the upcoming Nas album.
Alfie has continued to write for his own album, and in recent months has been writing with such people as Joel Pott (Athlete), Anthony Rossomando (The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things) and The Rural (Rizzle Kicks).
Brief Encounter is another exciting, original track from this exceptional and unique artist. The video for Brief Encounter sustains Alfie’s unique blend of Hip Hop and the style of ‘60s cinema.
21 year old British artist REECE, whose real name is Reece Robertson who records under the mononym REECE, has already made a name for himself and has gained a large number of followers.
REECE went on to break the record for the longest played song on Channel AKA in 2009, with over 1 million views for this first music video ‘Heaven ‘at the age of 17.
Following his soaring success he released four follow up music videos; ‘watcha say (remix)’, ‘Spoof Song’, ‘KISS ME’ and ‘Party Till Lights Out’ which charted at #14 in the UK club Chart Magazine Just behindLady gaga, Jason derulo and Jay-z.
With a string of performances ranging from a total of 200 shows in 2009 and 20010, REECE hasperformed alongside the likes of N-Dubz, Jessie J and Wretch 32 to name a few, and has madeappearances in over twenty publications such as RWD and Mizz magazine.
The song is a fusion between Grime and Hip Hop with hard hitting lyrics. It is more of a three minute statement rather than a full length song, and that statement is to declare that REECE means business.
“I’m just talking to the industry init”
in essence, this is a track written to the ‘industry’ and it certainly isn’t a house party.
