CORRECTAR LA LETRA
Letra : Genius UK Biweekly Update #5
📅 Date: April 29 - May 13
What's up everyone? Hope you enjoyed your bank holiday - we may have been resting, but UK musicians have been working hard, and so have our Genius UK users, so let's see what's been going on!NewsDavid Holmes, a musician from Belfast, won a BAFTA TV Craft Award for his soundtrack to Killing Eve! The BAFTA TV Craft Awards happen before the main BAFTAs, and they recognise the guys working behind the scenes, like editors and mixers. Holmes' soundtrack struck great chords with everyone, and Killing Eve is a hit both in the UK and across the ocean. Holmes seems to have a knack for soundtracks; alongside Keefus Ciancia, he won an Ivor Novello award for their soundtrack to London Spy.
Meanwhile, Stormzy made a surprising return, dropping "Vossi Bop" and telling his Glastonbury doubters to watch out:There were so many doubters being like, "Oh he hasn't got no number one song" or, "Oh he's got one album out, he's not ready."
If you think you're going to give me that Glastonbury 2019 headline slot and I'm not going to give you an incredible performance you've gone mad - you've gone crazy.And, to close everything, a hip-hop artist based in South London who goes by the name of Loyle Carner is using his music for mental health awareness. He's created an art exhibition for tracks from his album, and they'll be auctioned - the proceeds will then be donated to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). Let's hope it goes great!ProjectsWiley Cleanup@Madbrad200, the leader of this project, has made a page dedicated to this project - we're in Stage #2, of the project, and Wiley's Tunnel Vision series needs to be finished off. Let's sort it out.List of UK Verified ArtistsThis page is a great directory for new users who want to annotate, and perhaps even interact with their favourite UK artists. There've been some new additions, and thanks @dutch_courage for linking them all!Genius UK DiscordI can't say much since I forgot it existed (lol), but join the UK Discord!
