Single Review: “Back To Black” – The Zutons

This is the cover of a classic Amy Winehouse song I never knew I needed. The connection between The Zutons and Amy Winehouse is a pretty cool one given that she turned an already banging track of theirs called “Valerie” into arguably one of the best cover versions ever. Now The Zutons are back with …

Blog interview: Aisha Badru

Hello Aisha how are you? Great! I just moved to Western Massachusetts from Florida and I’m loving the change of climate and scenery. You are a singer songwriter based in the US, how did it all begin for you? In 2015, I was in college and feeling depressed because my life wasn’t heading in the …

Single Review: “What The Thunder Said” – Flakebelly

Another weather related track in the faves? Is this a theme? You never know. This one is a Wurlitzer led track, very dreamy. It’s got a psychedelic feel to it especially with the whispery vocals.

Album Review: “Eleven Short Stories – The Remix Album” – The Music Of Sound

The Music Of Sound X Minimums – First Light  This has such a cinematic feel to it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from Minimums having played and reviewed their work before. This is like an overture to the album and it’s an inspired choice both in choice of remixer and the sequence in which …

Single Review: “Listen” – Project Blackbird

Project Blackbird are back with a track that’s a slick bit of production! You have Ming’s vocals switching between melody and spoken word effortlessly. Given the fact that the lyrics are in poetic form that’s probably not an accident. I like the layers to the vocals, where there’s a deeper voice emphasising on certain words …

Single Review: “Perfect Piece Of Person I’m Made For” – Daphnie

This is a great track straight off the bat, I love the way it begins with the synth sounds and then goes straight into a bit of indie pop effortlessly. This happens at around 1:09 when there’s a drum roll into the next part of the song, it works so well! The guitars on this …
