This is a jazzy number that’s got me relaxed on a very packed train to work! The piano starts off the proceedings in the lower register, and then it’s joined by Nicoya’s gorgeous voice, she brings so much soul to this. The adlibs before she hits the verse tell you that she’s about to do …
This is a track that I really enjoyed when it dropped on my inbox this morning. I like the darkness of the chord progression and tempo. The track just prowls, the drums provide the rhythm at half time but that also allows for triplets which gives the whole track space to groove. There are synth …
It’s been 30 years since @takethat released their third album “Nobody Else” and it shows how far things have come. In that time, Robbie Williams left, the band split up some time after that, all had successful solo careers and even reunited – something no one ever saw coming – first without Robbie and then …
In honour of Tom Robinson’s birthday I thought I’d pick out my favourite track of his to review. I first heard this track when I saw him perform live at Blackheath Halls in January 2024, he used it to close out his set that night, and it was just one of those songs that stays …
NX Panther is back with a track that combines arpeggiated synths with a rapid fire beat. It sounds epic! With NX Panther’s hard hitting bars, she seems at home with this, enunciating every word, at the same time flowing over a half time beat. Her flow is percussive, hitting the beat flawlessly. In her lyrics …
Neil March, Sherry Sahayaraj and Elena Trent are back with a track that’s got a real nice bounce to it! Following a great few months of live dates and extremely encouraging streaming numbers, as well as support from BBC Introducing and BBC Orbit you could call this a bit of a triumph. The bassline starts …
I have been a fan of Nick Mulvey’s since hearing his song “Nitrous”, coupled with “Cucurucu” and “We Remain” this is an artist I have a lot of respect for. This is a track from his new album “Dark Harvest”, and it follows his path of acoustic folk. Starting off you hear some great guitar …
To kick off the faves this week, we have a new one from Dirty Nice, I actually reviewed them way back in 2023, and I noted back then that they were capable of songs that would get stuck in your head and this is no different. It’s good and energetic, with lots of great guitar …
Hello Robin how are you? Feeling great thanks, slightly frantic with preparations for the album launch event, but as the album has been 6 years in the making from the first inspiration and came out today it feels like a big moment. Congratulations on the release of Return From The Source how does it feel? …
