What struck me about this track is how quickly it changed within its 3:32 length. It starts off with a fast paced kick drum giving me the impression that it was going to be a bit of a rock track. But then it settles into a steady rhythm based around a snare, kick and high …
Just piano and vocals? Yeah you got me from the moment this song started. This is a stunning ballad which shows off Amelia’s vocal abilities, it’s soulful but also has jazz elements too. Her voice is so rich and warm on this, especially when she sings in her lower range. My favourite bit though, is …
Well, this is…. HUGE. A multi instrumentalist with prodigious amounts of talent. A gospel music legend. A British rapper who is larger than life. An incredible singer songwriter from Canada who’s killing it right now… Plus a 500 voice choir no less. This starts off with Jacob’s signature tones, rich in sound, backed by finger …

The title of this song is what got my attention. That and the Bossa nova groove, this is a pretty sweet track, acoustic guitar over a latin groove, the claves haven’t gone unnoticed by the way, and Begonia’s vocals are gorgeous on this, very soulful and playful at the same time. This song is about …
When I first heard this, I could hear influences of the Rolling Stones in the intro, especially in the guitar tone, and then it gave away into a bit of an blues rock anthem vibe… The melody is infectious, as evidenced in the verse, two chords on each line swapping back and forth between F …

Pārvāti – Song Of The Year (A History Of Cool) Don’t let the title fool you. This is not what you think. No the writer doesn’t have an inflated ego. First of all, let’s talk about the music, it’s a simple song – nice use of synths, and plods along nicely. The lyrics are the …
