Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio. Wow. This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops …
Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …

In honour of Debbie Harry’s 80th birthday, I thought I’d pull one of my favourite tracks from my childhood. This was always on the radio, and still remains a classic in my ears.

What caught my ear with this particular song is Freya’s voice – her tone is rich. It’s nice and deep, and touches the soul. I think that is intentional because of the content of the lyrics, this will cause a literal resonance within you to make you want to progress. What do I mean? Well, …
