Saviour This starts off very gently. Piano led, with a cello and violins playing the county melody, then acoustic guitar to strum the rhythm, this as an opener as a perfect choice. “You were a precious stone, Now I am all alone, I’m fading, yeah I’m fading.” I like this line. The drums come in …
Single Review: “Rain” – BaggE
Oh wow. The first thing that kicks this off is a glissando down a piano, transporting you back in time with some retro funky flavours… It’s like I ran down a giant piano to be plonked into to the late 1970s…. First off this sounds a bit like EWF without the horns, very much a …

Single Review: “White Horses” – Art Block
White Horses This is a piano led number, the second track in sequence on the EP, I’m liking Art Block’s vocals on this, he starts out low, then the chorus comes in and he opens up fully, it’s showing off his range. His voice is very distinctive, and he’s not afraid to show it. The …
Single Review: “Just Like You” – Pamela Tully
This song starts off really quietly, as if the production isn’t complete…. Wait for it…. Waaaaaaait for it…. 0:44 made you jump didn’t it??? Yeah! That’s because this is pop rock perfection, guitars, vocals with attitude standing out in the mix. The producer did their job right here! I like the chorus with the great …
