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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hello Fini how are you? I’m great, thanks! Congratulations on the release of “Last Night Of The World” how does it feel? It feels really good- it was a long time coming (from conception to realisation) and it straddles the birth of my daughter, so I am relieved & also proud to have wrapped it …
NX Panther is back with a track that combines arpeggiated synths with a rapid fire beat. It sounds epic! With NX Panther’s hard hitting bars, she seems at home with this, enunciating every word, at the same time flowing over a half time beat. Her flow is percussive, hitting the beat flawlessly. In her lyrics …
Neil March, Sherry Sahayaraj and Elena Trent are back with a track that’s got a real nice bounce to it! Following a great few months of live dates and extremely encouraging streaming numbers, as well as support from BBC Introducing and BBC Orbit you could call this a bit of a triumph. The bassline starts …
I have been a fan of Nick Mulvey’s since hearing his song “Nitrous”, coupled with “Cucurucu” and “We Remain” this is an artist I have a lot of respect for. This is a track from his new album “Dark Harvest”, and it follows his path of acoustic folk. Starting off you hear some great guitar …
It’s 4am. I’m wheezing. Why? Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he’s dropped a cracker of a tune, and it’s made me chuckle. Let’s get into it. This starts off with what I can assume is a toy trumpet, because when you hear it, it sets the tone …
