For me Madonna was part of the big three along with Prince and Michael Jackson. The 80s was full of their music, and everyone knew their songs, if they weren’t touring they’d be releasing music and they were iconic. They set stages around the world alight. So, it’s weird for me to be saying Madonna …
This track really got me going! Very retro in the chord progression, I get the feeling that might be a Yamaha CP-70 piano sample, or close enough! It reminds me very much of Toto/Genesis/Phil Collins in that sound…. The lyrics are out of this world. No pun intended. “You make me wanna build a …
This is a BOP!!!!! Wow!!! It starts off all mysterious with a synth build up into a funky James Brown break, then settles into a classy four on the floor beat with Nile and Candy trading off solos between each other on guitar and sax respectively – I absolutely love the vocals on this, fantastically …
Marie Keane – “Shadow” WHOAH. The funk is strong with this one. This is Marie Keane’s lead single from her upcoming album “MNÁ”. And you know what? It’s INCENDIO. That’s fire in Portuguese. Why? Well, the Latin percussion with claps that ring takes you from Marie’s native Ireland to the streets of Brazil with the …
Congratulations on the release of “Kissing Boys” how does it feel? So exciting! I’ve been working on this project for a few years now and it’s so beautiful to see my vision finally coming to life. What’s the story behind the song? Kissing Boys is about the magical experience of kissing someone. All those sensation …
Italian band SōMuch are back with the follow up to “Studio 54” and it’s deliciously infectious! Instead of 4/4 the beat is swung, and they’ve got a horn section blasting the parts… This song is so catchy, a total party starter, the arrangement is on point… The production is so slick…. I like the way …
Alice Offley just hit me in the gut with her bass, walked away laughing and left me doing the something stinks in the room face. This is high praise. Not many people get that award. Very rare. This song oozes funk, mixed with dance elements – synth bass to reinforce the live bass, four on …
Hello Raya, how are you? Fabulous, I’ve just whizzed here from a performance with my musicians with all my equipment, I went from glamour girl to bag lady in a hot 10 minutes!! Congratulations on the release of “Classy Lady”, how does it feel? Thank you I’m totally hyped! I literally had a bop in …
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… well, actually not too long ago it was New Years Eve 1977, and it was New York City. So nice they named it twice. There was a club. The club was called Studio 54. This club was the birthplace of disco. It was the place …
Hello Roby, how are you? Hi Del. I’m very good, thanks. I hope you are as well. I am well! Thankyou so much for asking. Congratulations on the release of “Studio 54” how does it feel? Oh, thank you! It’s really a wonderful and exciting experience. I love the fact that our ideas have come to …
