Breaking onto the scene, new pop\/electronica collective, The Urban State<\/strong><\/a>, are set to release their first single, \u2018Don\u2019t Say A Word\u2019 on June 7th taken from their upcoming debut album \u2018Love On Loop\u2019 for release this summer.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t Say a Word\u2019, is electro\/dance pop at its best. It\u2019s soulful and squelchy when it counts, a celebration of the all-consuming need to get on the floor.<\/p>\n

The single showcases the talents of singer, songwriter and founding member R-Jay, singer Miss Reprazent, and Producer Mix Master Matt, who\u2019s worked with Leftfield, Finlay Quay, Boy George and System 7 just to name a few.<\/p>\n

The Urban State<\/strong> is the brainchild of R-Jay, an East London based songwriter who wanted to bring together a collective of singers, songwriters and artists to create music & art that showcased the talents of all those involved and give air to their creativity in an environment where everyone has a voice.<\/p>\n

With \u2018Don\u2019t Say a Word\u2019 this trio of talent has crafted a sound that encapsulates the essence of urban bliss \u2013 captivating a pop\/electronica tune for the modern listeners discerning ear. With shared influences including Justice, Fedde Le Grand, Calvin Harris, Example, Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk, the collective\u2019s sound clearly reflects the thrill of dance-pop\u2019s genre trashing and reaching for something fresh and different.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the textures in the production of the song and how it has light & shade”, says R-Jay. \u201cI like the contrast between my vocal and Miss Reprazent’s- without a doubt that girl can sing”.<\/p>\n

Electronica, or pop, The Urban State is a band that oozes with experimentation with both production and vocal elements. Quirky, fun and highly original, The Urban State\u2019s debut single \u2018Don\u2019t Say A Word\u2019 brings a wave of feel-good just in time for the summer.<\/p>\n

All three members are part of the rare chemistry that forms the signature The Urban State sound, which is equal parts sexy, conceptual, and honest.<\/p>\n

This is only the start for The Urban State with another single set to be released in the coming weeks and the release of their album \u2018Love On Loop\u2019 this summer.<\/p>\n
