This is the new single from the man who holds down the bottom end of Chic’s sound. And it’s so good. Fusing hard hitting four on the floor beats held together with a big reverbed clap, with a house piano, and bouncy bass lines this track is so catchy! The vocals are in the falsetto …
Single Review: “Ready” – Cory Wong and Ben Rector
This track screams summer soul! Wow! From the top, guitar virtuoso Cory Wong opens fire with muted guitar playing 16ths although I get the feeling that may be delays, and the guitar sound over that comes in over the top playing the main riff.. I can’t even get my head around it.. it’s clean, it’s …
Single Review: “Solo” – Kinsella
Well this is a slice of great R&B mixed in with a bit of a latin groove! I love the chords on this, led by a guitar with a touch of tremolo. The keyboards give it that sugar, and a lovely synth bass just to give it that bounce…. Kinsella’s voice rides in effortlessly handling …
Single Review: “Away From Here” – Speech Debelle X Baby Sol
Speech Debelle just dropped a beauty of an album, “Sunday Dinner On A Monday” and one of my favourite tracks on it is this one for many reasons. The warped record playing the chords sets the tone, especially with the crackle. The beat drops in borrowing from afrobeat with the rimshot, kick and shakers. It’s …

Single Review: “War Baby” – Tom Robinson
As it’s Tom’s birthday today I decided to review one of his biggest hits. This song has so much soul, mixing jazzy rhythms with a beautiful Rhodes piano and a saxophone solo – oh don’t forget the crunchy guitars… I got introduced to this song quite late in life, as I was discussing Fresh On …
Single Review: “Drawn To You” – Brapurple & Gabrielle Sey
To Ghana – the motherland – we go for this, and it’s got the taste of suya, jollof rice and an ice cold Fanta in the summer sun with ice dripping down the sides. In other words this song deserves the chef’s kiss. Gabrielle Sey and Brapurple join forces on this Gabrielle bringing the soulful …
Single Review: “12 Inches Of Love” – Alice Offley
Alice is back with a track that could burn up the dance floor easily! It’s got a groove for days based around a four on the floor beat, punctuated with timbales – brining in elements of latin rhythms, the basis of which disco in New York was built on in the early 70s. This song …
Single Review: “Wonder” – Mikey J
This is a track from Australian artist Mikey J, and it’s…. Bluesy! It’s a slow tempo track from his new album “Wondering”, and it’s lyrically it’s a reassurance about how his love would never change. It starts off with a set of questions: “Do you ever wonder if this life would be the same? If …
