UK Meets USA: Lyriqé and Mimi Shine in Muzilog Muzik Radio’s New Artist Spotlight Series

Muzilog Muzik Radio continues expanding its global music reach with the launch of its new “UK to USA Artist Spotlight Series,” a platform dedicated to introducing emerging international talent to listeners on both sides of the Atlantic. The inaugural episode features two rising voices from the United Kingdom’s growing R&B scene, Birmingham-based artist Lyriqé and Manchester singer-songwriter Mimi. The series, conceptualized by Delena Higgins in association with Muzilog Muzik Radio, creates a direct cultural and musical bridge between UK creatives and audiences in the United States.

Opening the feature is Lyriqé, an independent R&B singer, songwriter, and producer known for blending classic soul influences with contemporary production. Her featured selections, “Alright” and “The One,” showcase her ability to combine emotional songwriting with polished vocals and modern arrangements. Fully independent in her creative approach, Lyriqé has steadily built momentum through performances across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and London, including appearances at TEDx Birmingham, BBC WM, Birmingham Weekender, and Mostly Jazz Festival. Her music has also received recognition through BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 1Xtra Producer Pick support.

The spotlight then shifts to Manchester artist Mimi, whose nostalgic R&B style draws on the influence of iconic artists like Aaliyah and Brandy while maintaining a modern, commercial edge. Featured tracks “2AM in Lovestone” and “Take Me On A Jet” featuring Sneakbo demonstrate her melodic songwriting, smooth vocal delivery, and crossover appeal. Mimi has continued to gain traction through BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Introducing support, while building a loyal fanbase through consistent releases and visual branding rooted in emotional storytelling and contemporary R&B aesthetics.

What makes the UK to USA Artist Spotlight Series unique is its focus on discovery and international connectivity. Rather than simply playing records, the series creates a curated listening experience that introduces audiences to the stories, sounds, and creative identities behind emerging artists. Delena Higgins, the visionary behind the initiative, helps drive the mission of connecting UK talent with new listeners abroad while expanding opportunities for independent artists through strategic media exposure.

The debut episode reflects Muzilog Muzik Radio’s continued commitment to supporting independent music culture globally. By spotlighting artists like Lyriqé and Mimi, the platform continues building an ecosystem where authentic artistry can thrive beyond geographic limitations. As the UK to USA Artist Spotlight Series grows, listeners can expect more rising talent, exclusive discoveries, and cross-cultural musical experiences that strengthen the connection between international artists and worldwide audiences.

Listeners can tune in to Muzilog Muzik Radio for more exclusive artist spotlight features, emerging music discoveries, and independent artist programming from around the globe.
