Single Review: “Let Us Be” – Mr Billy Fitzgerald

updated on

Big drums? Phil Collins style? Jangly guitars with that 80s sheen like Nile Rodgers David Bowie era vibes? Big voice delivering a not unpleasant vocal? Go ahead.I’m listening. This song is about standing up against people they can’t stand to see someone happy. It’s a fun listen, with a great danceable track – I feel …

Single Review: “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing” – The New Seekers

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Catch The Door” – Liza Lo

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Passé” – Mediocre Cafe

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Good To Gone” Amelia McFall

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Home Safe?” – Righteous Reck

updated on

’s funny when I went to tag Righteous Reck here, my first thought was that this would be up @ruinzason and his brother @jflamesondabeat ‘s street, turns out they’re connected on social media already. This track has layers, the pitched up vocals and piano give it that love song vibe, but it’s not strictly a love song, it could …

Single Review: “Dead Moles” – Andrew Goldring

updated on

This song soundtracked my walk around Sainsbury’s. It’s gentle, but very dark in terms of the progression and feel though so it’s quite a contrast! This is an acoustic led number, with strings added for good measure, Andrew sings in the higher register but it’s whispered. My favourite part is when the piano and strings …

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 …
