December, forever by Big Society This is a gorgeous song and it’s for charity too! I’ll come back to that in a second…. This is an acoustic number, with a folk leaning. The bass is being played lower down in the neck so it’s more melodic and higher. This sits comfortably within the arrangement of …
This song…. It got me through my morning cuppa and emails. It then got me through my walk around sainsbury’s. It got me through putting my shopping away. I’ve been sat at the keyboard playing around with the chord progression too. What a beauty! The electric piano is what did it for me, especially in …
A waltz! Something for double bass, vocals, cello, flute and piano. It’s gorgeous, the only thing that surprised me was the lack of an accordion! You can just hear it. This is listed as alternative folk, but it has a little bit of a jazzy flair in the arrangement. You can just imagine this being …
What I like about folk music is that as you listen you can close your eyes and see the story unfollowed as it’s sung, it’s essentially a way to pass down family and local lore through the generations – Molly Malone, Eleanor Rigby, and so many more. This song is no different. Katherine sings of …
Congratulations on the release of “Take It All Away.” How does it feel? Thank you! It feels so right to share “Take It All Away” and now, the rest of the “Healing” EP as well. It’s a time capsule for us of an incredibly challenging and life changing season in our lives, and we hope …
Kiffie has released his new album. These are my words on it. The End Kiffie opens this up with a track that fades up with a synth pad that kind of modulates, lots of chorused synthesis in this. In this slice of the pie there’s also a very low arpeggio that you don’t notice on …
Hello, Julian, how are you? Doing very well, thank you. I was travelling a lot this year, but it’s nice to be home now. Congratulations on the release of “Anthology Vol. 1.” How does it feel? Thank you. It feels a little strange. Never thought I’d get this far so soon, at least that’s how …
Carrie Grant released her album today, and this is the third track in the running order. I have not been able to progress past this one. It’s a piano based ballad, with strings and a strong backdrop of harmonies that are hinted at but it only appears once just leaving space for Carrie to do …
The guitar work on this instrumental is gorgeous! It has a bit of Americana in there, and it’s just jaunty, a real feel good tune, aided by the fact that it’s in A Major. I could imagine this going down a treat with a really sweet vocal group especially with the melody at around 0:42 …
There are many things I like about this one, one being that it starts off with a little poem at the beginning, then fades up to the music coming in. You would be forgiven for thinking it was just that, but it all fits together nicely. An acoustic guitar driven number, this song gives me …
