LDN Features - Courtesy of Cooking VinylLDN Features2025-08-04 | LDN Features proudly presents our live session with Newton Faulkner performing his track ‘Alright Alright Alright’. This raw and dynamic performance offers the viewer a unique glimpse into Newton's vast range, both as a performer and as a person.
Newton Faulkner rose to prominence with his breakout debut album Hand Built By Robots, which topped the UK Albums Chart in 2007 and achieved double platinum status. Featuring hits like "Dream Catch Me" and "I Need Something," the album’s success earned him a place on major UK tours supporting artists like James Morrison and Paolo Nutini, and festival stages including Glastonbury, V Festival, and Lollapalooza. His follow-up, Rebuilt by Humans (2009), reached No. 3 on the UK chart and was inspired by a wrist injury that required surgery—hence the title. This period also saw his music featured in film and international radio, with chart success in Australia and performances across Europe and South America.
From 2012 to 2017, Faulkner continued to innovate and connect with fans in fresh ways. His third album, Write It on Your Skin (2012), debuted at No. 1 in the UK, followed by an ambitious project, Studio Zoo (2013), which was recorded live on camera and streamed online 24/7 from his home studio. His fifth album, Human Love (2015), marked a turning point as he shed his iconic dreadlocks in the video for the lead single, a cover of Major Lazer’s "Get Free." He followed up with Hit the Ground Running (2017), which included long-awaited live favourites and an acoustic video reimagining of his debut album, filmed entirely in and around his house.

LDN FeaturesLDN Features2025-01-13 | LDN Features proudly presents our live session with Jai Amore performing “Breakout", a heartfelt track exploring the journey from uncertainty to self-discovery. With honest and relatable lyrics, the song touches on themes of personal growth, resilience, and the desire to break free from life's pressures. Award winning singer, songwriter, record producer and performer Jai Amore has become a much loved staple of the UK’s live music community. Born and raised in Harlesden, North West London, Jai Amore began his career with a feature in the BBC documentary series “Heart of Harlesden” which chronicled the initial stages of his journey on the live music circuit. Since then he has performed at hundreds of events throughout the UK and around the world. LDN Features has also collaborated with The Good Stuff gospel group to bring their sumptuous harmonies and rich textures.
About the song: “I wrote Breakout at a time in my career when I felt like I was totally stuck. I was lost for inspiration in my beloved industry and a lot of my community were battling the pigeon-hole experience of being a soul or R&B singer in the UK. At times when I need the most empowerment, it always comes from inside. That’s where Breakout came from. As well as my sister giving me some powerful words of encouragement, as she frequently has throughout my journey. On the other hand, I can understand why all that could go under the radar when the track is such a vibe lol. I’ve got that same beloved community of music creators to thank for that.”

About The Song Me and Segnon Tiewul wrote 'At the end of the world' during one of those weeks that felt like the end of the world. Every news channel spouting something daunting. A former US president producing a blockbuster film about an imminent cataclysm. Elon Musk telling the internet something shocking. And meanwhile, there’s us… just sitting in the studio in L.A. trying to make sense of it. We can’t make it make sense, but we can make music. So, my producer, Segnon, plays me this string arrangement with a bluesy bass line and a cracking beat, and the whole song just falls out. The lyrics land on their feet. The next day, we’re asked to choose a song to record live with the LDN Features studio band and, most auspiciously, with a live string section. We meet up in London in the middle of a rainstorm. The room is drenched in red. The rest is history.
