Single Review: “The World Is Here For You” – Immy Owusu

This track grooves on nicely! It reminds me of the music that we used to play in my house growing up in so many ways – the analogue sounds including the organ, which I’m going to hazard a guess at being a Vox. The synth lead gives it away that this artist is influenced by …

Single Review: “In My Veins” – Carol Jarvis

This track is nothing short of a banger. It starts off as an EDM track, quite slow, with atmospheric sounds…. Then at 0:49 the trombone played so beautifully comes in… This melody has been stuck in my head since I heard it! At 1:23 the solo really kicks in, ushering a funky bass line as …

Single Review: “Hero Myth” Dekker

This track is stunning. It’s acoustic, features shakers, a kick drum and snare and ethereal background sounds. It’s gorgeous. The thing I liked about this song is the lyric content, it’s like the self doubt that you have when you are presenting one image to the world but inside you’re finding an internal battle. There …

Single Review: “I Do” – Jerry Barnes

This is the new single from the man who holds down the bottom end of Chic’s sound.  And it’s so good.  Fusing hard hitting four on the floor beats held together with a big reverbed clap, with a house piano, and bouncy bass lines this track is so catchy! The vocals are in the falsetto …

Single Review: “Indigo” – Brasstracks X Adelaide James

This song is proper pop. It caught my ear as I was going through the spotify recommendations and checked out the rest of the album and this is track 2. I thought they were making a mistake when recommendation as part of their jazz curation, but…. This actually works! It’s so catchy, with a singalong …

Single Review: “Ready” – Cory Wong and Ben Rector

This track screams summer soul!  Wow!  From the top, guitar virtuoso Cory Wong opens fire with muted guitar playing 16ths although I get the feeling that may be delays, and the guitar sound over that comes in over the top playing the main riff.. I can’t even get my head around it.. it’s clean, it’s …
