Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

First up – this track is way too catchy – if you’re not disciplined enough to hold it down and keep it calm in public then I suggest you don’t play this. I’m serious. From the beginning you have a melody that hooks you, that’s sung by Colenso Abafana Benkokhelo and it’s pure fire, add …

Track Of The Day: “The Carrier Bag Theory Of Fiction” – Loula Yorke X Charlotte Jolly

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “The Carrier Bag Theory Of Fiction” – Loula Yorke X Charlotte Jolly

From the moment this started it gave me goosebumps because the long drawn notes vibrate within you. The melody sounds medieval, even though it’s composed on a reed organ. Growing up I played a variety of keyboards but never a reed one. The tones coming out of this, it just takes you to another time …

Track Of The Day: “We Are The People” – Oli Rockberger X Laura Mvula

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “We Are The People” – Oli Rockberger X Laura Mvula

Oli Rockberger is back with a track that’s soul stirring but then that’s on brand for him. But he’s not alone he brings along Laura Mvula for the ride too. She reduces me to a blubbery mess with “Father Father” so her contribution here already told me before I hit play that this was going to be …

Track Of The Day: “Grippy Socks Jail” – Court Lee

updated on

This is trippy. I like trippy.  This song is not what you probably think it’s about, but if you think it’s about a hospital stay then you’re probably right. This song is very short coming in at 1:06 but within that 1 minute and six seconds we are taught about what happens in a hospital …

Congratulations on the release of Ways Of The World, how does it feel? It’s always bittersweet. I love the process of writing and seeing how the songs evolve in the studio and working with the band. But I love what came out of the sessions, and the songs remain important to me. Its origin story is quite …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

updated on

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …

Single Review: Chinwe – Lately

updated on

Chinwe is back, and I’m so glad! This is a track that exudes power from the moment it starts. It’s atmospheric, the drums are chest pounding with two hits on the snare and off tempo flow.  There’s a warble to the sound too, which is so pleasing to the ear, the bass is deep and …
