Don't Give Up (On Love)

Blinkie

Relentless Records / Love & Other

WE SAY

Blinkie is a red hot producer from south east London who’s making waves with this uplifting breakthrough track. Packed full of melody and feel-good vibes, it’s loaded with familiar retro-flavoured hooks. He was aged 15 when his future calling took shape whilst making his first track in secondary school music class. The passion was ignited and there was no turning back from there. A decade on, it looks like he’s about to hit the big time with this enormous tune. It’s already at No.33 on the latest UK Shazam Top 100 chart a full five weeks ahead of impact, was a Future Anthem on Danny Howard’s Radio 1 show and has been played multiple times since then, was endorsed by Mistajam at 1Xtra as his Radio Ripper, has been added to both the Kiss and Kiss Fresh playlist, peaked at No.5 on the UK Spotify Viral Chart, has been streamed almost 170,000 times and the music video has just gone live this morning. Cool, young, and exhilarating, this is the perfect introduction to his talents.
