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 …
Single Review: “What’s That Thud?” – Marina Florance
Marina Florance will always have a special place in my heart, as this year we achieved something that was a bucket list moment for me. BBC Radio 6 Music airplay courtesy of Mary-Anne Hobbs, and BBC Introducing Mixtape courtesy Tom Robinson. She’s revisited the spoken word this time reading the book that she’s just published …
Single Review: “You Lost Out” – The Music Of Sound
This song is just gorgeous. With a line up change and the addition of Sherry Sahayaraj, The Music Of Sound keep their melodic flavours going but with a slight spice in flavour. Let’s talk about the instruments first. It’s a simple arrangement, bass keeping the groove along with the drums with a slight variation in …
Single Review: “Do-Re-Mi” – Julie Andrews
This has got to be an ear worm for the ages. Anyone who’s seen “The Sound Of Music” will know this straight away. In honour of Dame Julie Andrews’ 89th birthday on 1st October I thought I’d choose this as my track of the day. The melody is so simple, and it’s a great way …
Single Review: “High Horse (Be Gone)” – Rikke
This track has an off kilter beat and that’s what caught my attention initially! The drum intro, then a funny little bass run coupled up with a muted guitar played an octave up gives you a modern jazz feel with a little bit of pop in there too. This is a slick bit of production …

It took a long time to complete and now it’s finished it’s a huge weight off my shoulders. I can actually enjoy listening to it now without …
Single Review: “Love Love Love” – The Gulls
This is a fun acoustic number combining a bit of folk, and old fashioned rock n roll lyric wise! This track is about being in love with someone and it’s expressed in such a fun way, the chorus is catchy as hell, because they’re declaring that they’re in love love love love love. Love. My …
Single Review: “Hard Down Low” – Loa
This track is slow and based around piano and vocals, but very atmospheric. It’s very moody with no harmonies, as Rick Leigh’s piano playing and Genevieve Dawson’s vocals blend together effortlessly over a music arrangement that’s kept really simple. It’s a beauty of a track calling on folk influences, especially Celtic undertones. This song encourages …
