Inspired by his girlfriend’s journey with mental health, ‘Falling’ is the latest offering from Majozi, who’s also in the jersey business now - having created 100 jerseys that he's shared with fans, friends and family alike.

On Saturday, 7 November 2020, Majozi joined Carl Wastie in-studio on the Kfm Top 40 for a quick chat about ‘Falling’, which he hopes will bring joy to those who relate to it.

Carl also tested Majozi's music knowledge... to see how many of his own songs he knows! How many is that? Listen to find out...

Every now and then a special artist emerges - young, brimming with talent and complete with a strong vision of their future. Mikhalé Jones is one such artist.

Pronounced "Michaela" (despite Carl Wastie's best attempts to change pronunciation to "Mick-a-lay"), Mikhalé is a Neo-Soul, Trap and Pop singer, dancer and fully-packaged star in the making, she knew from an extremely young age that she was destined to be a performer.

Now, at 25 years old, she has been more than noticed by the industry and public alike.

She's currently wrapping up the recording process on her first signed album, ‘It Is What It Is’, and holds nothing back in her raw and honest delivery of the stories that make up her life. The first single ‘My Soul’ is a goose-bump-inspiring, slow-tempo teaser that shows Mikhalé’s range off perfectly, just doing what she does best.

On Saturday, 24 October 2020, Carl Wastie gave Mikhalé Jones a call on the Kfm Top 40 to find out a little more about her: where she's from, how she got into music and more.

Over the past few weeks, Carl Wastie's been teasing that there's something new coming from James Deacon - and on Friday, 23 October 2020 it officially released: Deacon's new single, 'Take Control'.

Naturally, Carl Wastie had to catch up with James on the Kfm Top 40, so gave him a call following his track 'Rain On Me', which charted at no.30 on the weekend. The great thing about weekend radio is it often offers us additional insight into our faves - and this wasn't any different, as we James came to us live from an EDM festival.

'Take Control' is a different sound to James' previous radio hits, showcasing a rocky flare that pays tribute to cross-over rock-pop sensations like Lenny Kravitz.
