Single Review: “Country Boy, Country Girl” – Garlen Lo

Garlen Lo needs to actually release an album of songs with these types songs. Wholesome, humorous homemade songs that are just written to make you smile. He’s gone and done it again with this song, packed full of charm – if he’s writing this for someone in real life she needs to say yes! Hold …

Single Review: “(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike” – Dan Whitehouse X Jasmine Gardosi

Well, this is quite a mixture! This combines spoken word, with indie rock sensibilities but then you’ve got a spoken word element too and a little bit of hip hop too. This is a track that has an infectious hook, and it caught my attention immediately, it’s almost like a self help tape wrapped up …

Single Review: “Heart Of Glass” Blondie

In honour of Debbie Harry’s 80th birthday, I thought I’d pull one of my favourite tracks from my childhood. This was always on the radio, and still remains a classic in my ears. I only discovered recently through listening to the album version that there was an electronic drum track at the beginning it sounds …

Single Review: “Shadows” – Ben Clifton X Nicoya Polar

This is a jazzy number that’s got me relaxed on a very packed train to work! The piano starts off the proceedings in the lower register, and then it’s joined by Nicoya’s gorgeous voice, she brings so much soul to this. The adlibs before she hits the verse tell you that she’s about to do …

Single Review: “Aerial View” – Aloric

This is an acoustic number, in 3/4 with triplets being played on toms… it draws you in so quickly! The thing that caught my ear was the falsetto that dominates the song – it’s on a slow burn, but then you realise the full impact of the song. The bit that got me was at …

Blog interview: Sinead Campbell

  Hello Sinead, how are you? I’m great- I’ve just done a headline show in Leeds & it was such a beautiful night of connectedness. I feel like the new EP is really resonating with audiences! Congratulations on the release of Stand. How does it feel? Thanks. It feels right- like a necessary step. Stand is a …

Single Review: “Piston Ghosts” – The Queen’s Head

This is a track that I really enjoyed when it dropped on my inbox this morning. I like the darkness of the chord progression and tempo. The track just prowls, the drums provide the rhythm at half time but that also allows for triplets which gives the whole track space to groove. There are synth …

Single Review: “Holding Back The Tears” – Take That

It’s been 30 years since @takethat released their third album “Nobody Else” and it shows how far things have come. In that time, Robbie Williams left, the band split up some time after that, all had successful solo careers and even reunited – something no one ever saw coming – first without Robbie and then …

Single Review: “Only The Now” – Tom Robinson

In honour of Tom Robinson’s birthday I thought I’d pick out my favourite track of his to review. I first heard this track when I saw him perform live at Blackheath Halls in January 2024, he used it to close out his set that night, and it was just one of those songs that stays …
