this track caught my attention because of the rhythmic textures – the congas, the shakers, vocal samples and cymbal swells – there’s not much singing here but it whisks you off to another world it’s the perfect tropic summer vibe!

ANNIE ELISE – Make A Wish Annie Elise · make a wish What I like about this track is the emphasis there is on the electronics, it draws your ears towards the track as a whole! The arpeggiated pattern at the beginning is what caught my attention from the beginning. Add to that Annie Elise’s …
AROUND ABOUT DUSK- without you Around About Dusk · Without You This has such a World War II era jazz feel to it, none of the gloss that came later on, but the kind you’d expect in the background of a period drama. This could be playing in the background on a grainy gramophone, at …

This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate.
