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. I only discovered recently through listening to the album version that there was an electronic drum track at the beginning it sounds …
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 an acoustic number, in 3/4 with triplets being played on toms… it draws you in so quickly! The thing that caught my ear was the falsetto that dominates the song – it’s on a slow burn, but then you realise the full impact of the song. The bit that got me was at …
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 …
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? …
