Maya’s back with a beautiful acoustic ballad that shows off her songwriting skills as well as her voice… The song starts off with acoustic Maya’s voice over some acoustic guitar which is finger picked – sounds gorgeous, love the progression in the opening by the way. It really catches the ear. The harmonies in …
Unfortunately Steven Groovy Avocado Disco From depths of despair and almost complete mental breakdown, Steven Ramirez (Unfortunately Steven) gives inspiration in his music and story. Quirky and distinctive, Ramirez’s music is inspiring, but equally inspiring is his head-on challenge to mental illness. Read about his bravery, share his inspiration and then hear the challenge and …
This song is gorgeous. The piano part is full of lovely chords… but it’s not this that catches you. It’s the chorus. The oohs and the duetted saxophone, is what caught my ear. This is how I’m introduced gently this sunny morning to the new duo Night Porter. Technically they aren’t new to me, at …
Caitlyn Scarlett – Forgive Yourself This is a track Kwame Kwaten sent to me, and…. Wow. So, where do I start? It’s piano led, strings, and Caitlyn’s vocals just really give me goosebumps. I like goosebumps. This is beautiful, it just reminds me that the ability to write an emotional song is never going away. …
This song is acoustic guitar led, very much a lullaby, but written in a letter form… Amelia Coburn’s vocals are very soft and breathy, and that’s what catches my ear straight away. I closed my eyes and just listened, and she’s got a voice that could calm a soul. I’m no ukulele aficionado by any …

Hello Malin how are you? I am very well thank you! A bit tired over the last few weeks with preparing the build-up for the single, but all positive! Congratulations on the release of Reef how does it feel? Thank you so much! It feels fantastic to finally share this song. It was initially supposed …
Congratulations on the release of “Catch My Breath”, how does it feel? It is lovely, as the success of finishing it is the best! I find releases a bit like Christmases as a child. The build-up is tantalising, then the actual day can be a bit of a let-down. I am easily disappointed and …
Sophie Dorsten is back with a gorgeous new single, “Butterflies” and changes gear slightly with this. For one thing, it’s a little more bluesy in my ears to her previous tracks and has a little more soul. One thing I’ve always liked about Sophie is that she doesn’t compromise with her lyrics. This is no …
Marina Florance, fellow Fresh On The Net moderator and my songwriting partner of three songs is back, and this song is gorgeous. Wow.. It starts off with her accompanying herself on guitar, and singing in the lower register of her voice. There is something really calming about her vocals that I love, she just makes …
