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 …

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 …

Their second release ‘Care’ is a multifaceted album exploring various aspects of caring. Hypnotic drum and bass grooves infused with intimate harmonised sax and vocals are the core of the album.

Single Review: “My Heart Belongs To…(The Beaches) – Gorstey Lea AKA
Gorstey Lea AKA are back and have gone through a bit of a change, it’s quite funny really because just as I was about to embark on the review of this as if by magic I got an email from them requesting airplay – complete with bio and everything! What I like about this is …

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 …

In The Spotlight: Sammy Stein Talks To Kim Cypher.
Tell us briefly about your journey in music until now. Music has been a lifelong journey. As a young child I was drawn to all things musical. There was always music playing in the house (my dad loved big band music) and when I was introduced to the recorder and the piano, I could instinctively …

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 …

Single Review: “You Lost Out” – The Music Of Sound
This song is just gorgeous. With a line up change and the addition of Sherry Sahayaraj, The Music Of Sound keep their melodic flavours going but with a slight spice in flavour. Let’s talk about the instruments first. It’s a simple arrangement, bass keeping the groove along with the drums with a slight variation in …
