This is such a gentle track, all built around synths. The thing that caught my ear was the way that the chords started, keeping tempo and then all the elements being added in. It’s just two chords but sometimes that’s all you need. There’s an arpeggiated synth in there that’s quite subtle but then there’s …
In honour of it being Naughty Boy’s birthday on 1st January 2025, I decided to review one of my favourite tracks of the last 25 years. Yes, I have a loose top 20 of favourite tracks of the current century. Strange? Maybe. Anyway, this is a collaboration with Emeli Sandé and they go next levels …
What a way to kick off 2025! This song has got all the good stuff in, at the beginning it’s got a nice little synth glitch like as if it’s an audio tag. A synth bass that’s got a bit of warp comes in over a hip hop beat that’s got a little bit of …

Congratulations on the release of Closing Chapters. How does it feel? Thank you! It feels surreal, honestly. This project has been such a personal journey for me, and now that it’s out in the world, it’s like releasing a piece of my heart. The response has been overwhelming in the best way—it’s so fulfilling to see …
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 …
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 …
Congratulations on the release of “I Don’t Talk” how does it feel? Thank you so much. It feels really great having a project out as it is, let alone one that’s a collaboration with such amazing talents Blue Lab Beats. It’s a four track EP, what’s your favourite track? When I listen to the project, …
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. Add to that the way driven given guitars, the big drums this transports you back to the 70s! It feels …
