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 …
Hello Darren, how are you? Hi Del, thanks so much for getting in touch and for listening to the new album. Im a big fan of your work and the diverse range of music you cover. My wife and daughter bought me Sgt. Pepper on vinyl for Christmas so I can’t wait to give it …
Smoke And Mud – The Kintners This song is so dark. What do I mean? Well, firstly the chord progressions give it that really bluesy feel. This isn’t a bad thing. I love this song, it’s been on my radar for sometime as it’s been on bandcamp and it was sent to me as a …
Sophie Dorsten – Tomorrow Bob Marley once said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” This song had me feeling all kinds of emotional when I first heard it…. It’s the chorus. It just hits you. I know it’s coming. Every. Single. Time. But it just hits me and the …
Hello Rosie how are you? I am well ! How are you ?? I’m great! Thanks for asking! Congratulations on the release of “Better Days (Kaidi Tatham Remix) how does it feel? It feels awesome. I could envision quite clearly that there would be a synergy between Kaidi’s sound and my own …
Michaela Betts – The Rose Oh. This is beautiful. It starts off with a sparse arpeggiated piano part, then draws in a cello to give it the necessary bass part. But then it drops into a beautiful electro synth piece that just gets better and better and better with each listen. My mate Nick would …
Hello George, how are you? Hi Del, I am very well, thank you for asking. Congratulations on the release of “Take My Name”, how does it feel? Thank you very much – it is always a little nerve-jangling putting something out, but happily the lack of expectation that comes from being such a …
Leeds based duo Sunflower Thieves make a welcome return with their single “Sirens”. I love the vocals on this and the production is outstanding nothing overpowering the overall song. This is typical of Amy and Lily’s musical style, and I’m here for it.. There’s a synth part that accompanies the chorus that I need to …
