Track Of The Day: “Touch By An Angel” – Maxi Priest

Maxi Priest has landed with a track that goes classic in its style – you have the one drop beat, the horn section the layered harmonies, organ and electric piano rounding it out along with the guitar lick and bassline for you to groove on. This has summer written all over it and Maxi brings …

Track Of The Day: “Can We Make It Real?” – Manny Norte X Ayanna

This is a new one from Manny Norte and Ayanna, and it slaps. This is based around an afrobeat groove, and it’s smooth, you can tell they cooked it up for the summer because it gets you dancing immedately even if your’e not in the mood.  What caught my attention was the Neo soul chord …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …

Single Review: “Radical Tenderness” – Nick Mulvey

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 …

Single Review: “London Girls” – Garlen Lo

It’s 4am. I’m wheezing.  Why?  Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he’s  dropped a cracker of a tune, and it’s made me chuckle. Let’s get into it.  This starts off with what I can assume is a toy trumpet, because when you hear it, it sets the tone …

Single Review: “The Way That I Love You” – The 7:45s

First up, I want to say it’s obvious where the influences are for this band. Is that an homage to Motown with the logo? Very possibly. The intro cements this even further – the piano playing the melody is higher on the scale giving it a fun playful feel, adding an octave under. This is …
