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: “Woollen Rug” – Mia Wilks

Mia Wilks is back with a new single, and this one is a stunning acoustic number in 3/4 time. Having had Mia on my radar for the last year or so, I know that she’s very capable of multiple genres. She’s very thoughtful with her lyrics, and this is a case in point.  “Don’t be …

Single Review: “Heavy Weather” – WLDLFRS

This track is bluesy, and I LOVE IT! You’ve got everything on here. They through everything at this track – is that a Jewish Harp???  Very possible. The guitar at the beginning starts off with a bit of a growl, I think I can imagine Eric Clapton giving a nod of approval and nudging John …

Single Review: “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing” – The New Seekers

This song came out in 1971, and I thought I’d revisit it. It was a song that was written in a time of turmoil – Vietnam War, the Cold War,, economic crisis and while World War II was long over, the message still needed to be heard. Earth  Songs were being written to illustrate that …

Single Review: “Catch The Door” – Liza Lo

This has such a tasty groove to it! You have bass, drums, percussion and guitar, giving great vibes, it had me bopping my head to it from the get go. Add to that the piano that’s playing along with Liza’s deep and rich vocals – there’s a nice touch of reverb on it at 1:08 …

Single Review: “What The Thunder Said” – Flakebelly

Another weather related track in the faves? Is this a theme? You never know. This one is a Wurlitzer led track, very dreamy. It’s got a psychedelic feel to it especially with the whispery vocals. Add to that the way driven given guitars, the big drums this transports you back to the 70s! It feels …

Single Review: “Solve” – Izzy Withers

PSA: I’ve said this so many times and I will never stop saying it. When @kwamekwaten sends you an artist you listen. And he always hits the spot. ALWAYS. This then, is no different, this is the new single from Izzy Withers, and she’s a natural born storyteller with her lyrics. “I tried to solve it all,Stepped …
