Track Of The Day: “Eldest Daughter” – Taylor Swift

Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …

Track Of The Day: “Colourblind” – Gabrielle Sey

Lord Gabrielle Sey can sing! This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate. The melody soars through and Gabrielle switches gears in the …

Track Of The Day: “Hush” – Dorsten

I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years.  This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and …

Single Review: “Sinking Ship” – Oliver Anderson

This one comes packed with indie rock swagger – I swear I heard a castanet! It happens once, but then with this song, there’s a lot to keep you interested, lyrical references to the state of the world today plus a nod to a literary classic – George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the emotional oh …

Single Review: “I Don’t Want Your Garden” – Hazlett

This one proved very popular with the moderators, coming away with the most votes from the team. This starts off as a gentle acoustic number, but then the build into an atmospheric anthemic chorus is a surprise, it comes up at a rush, and leaves you wanting more! I like the layered vocals, the harmonies …

Single Review: “Sun Over The Zoo” – Dog Monologue

This looks like Dog Monologue’s first single from what I can see, and it’s a great way to introduce us to their world. This is an electro-pop track, with an ethereal feel, I’m getting the feeling they have a love for analog synths. Lyrically this talks about a journey in the moonlight in a zoo, …

Single Review: “Sunrise On The Snow” – ABS

This is a piano based ballad, and it’s just gorgeous, it starts off with soulful chords, with Abs’s vocal coming in nice and rich, singing of someone that is the bright light to her life, and singing with such a positive energy it’s infectious. This reminds me of a quote from “This Is Us” – …
