Oh my word. On first hearing this track I thought it was a long forgotten track from the 60s left in the archives of some studio in Memphis. The vocals are rough, and full of blues and soul, Ben l’Oncle Soul’s voice does not show his 41 years of age he sings with a power …
Hello Mike how are you? I’m ok, thank you for asking. Congratulations on the release of “Satsuma” how does it feel? Thank you – it feels wonderful. I like the concept I came up with, I executed to the best of my abilities, and it’s been received well by my fans so far, so that’s …
Now this is so cool! This simmers along at the beginning, with instruments that sound about ready to explode – but the energy is held back for the vocals and it switches between rock and theatrical. I could imagine this being a treat live! The lyrics reference the high life – ala mode meaning in …
Congratulations on the release of “I Feel The Earth Move” how does it feel? I’m stoked that this is out! The band and I put a ton of work into it and it’s time for it to be out there in the world. It’s a track album of covers and originals what was …
This song came out in 1971, and I thought I’d revisit it. It was a song that was written in a time of turmoil – Vietnam War, the Cold War,, economic crisis and while World War II was long over, the message still needed to be heard. Earth Songs were being written to illustrate that …
This has such a tasty groove to it! You have bass, drums, percussion and guitar, giving great vibes, it had me bopping my head to it from the get go. Add to that the piano that’s playing along with Liza’s deep and rich vocals – there’s a nice touch of reverb on it at 1:08 …
Picture: Brendan Holmes You are a multifaceted producer and sound engineer, how did it all begin for you? Well, I played in bands and wrote songs as a kid but at some point decided that I might be better suited for the studio side of making music and so I went to Berklee College of …
I like the futuristic soul jazz vibes to this! The chords and bass line define this perfectly. I could imagine Pharrell jamming out to this, possibly even Justin Timberlake. The synths play an important part in this, providing an earworm for days! The lyrics show a dry sense of humour about this being a 2 …
Canadian songbird Amelia McFall is back, bringing her brand of soul, jazz and blues to her new single, and it’s a stunner of a track. This is piano led, and Amelia sings this comfortably, her voice sounds so rich on this! Wow. I just felt a warmth hearing it on the first play. Her vocals …
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 …
