For my throwback track review I thought I’d go back to the 1960s. On July 4th 1964 The Beach Boys began a two week run on the US singles chart with this song. This is probably the first Beach Boys record I ever heard, on a dusty TDK tape in 1989 that a friend of …
Well, this song is a protest song if ever there was one! Sunshine reggae groove laid down in dub style with reverb which is the main ingredient of a dub track… Lord knows we need this song right now. This song is about wars going on around the world. It may not be on our …
This track grooves on nicely! It reminds me of the music that we used to play in my house growing up in so many ways – the analogue sounds including the organ, which I’m going to hazard a guess at being a Vox. The synth lead gives it away that this artist is influenced by …
This song is lyrical genius. To be fair I thought it was a song about a boy and boys being like that one particular one. But no, there’s an ambiguity in the song, and it is the theme as let’s face it dating in the 21st century is complex. I know. I dated in the …
Hi Becky! How are you? I’m good! It’s been a couple of busy weeks, but I’ve been having a fun time with my single release, birthday show and the warm weather really kicking in! Congratulations on the release of “Love Like Medicine.” How does it feel? Thank you! It feels great to be able to …
This track is stunning. It’s acoustic, features shakers, a kick drum and snare and ethereal background sounds. It’s gorgeous. The thing I liked about this song is the lyric content, it’s like the self doubt that you have when you are presenting one image to the world but inside you’re finding an internal battle. There …
This is the new single from the man who holds down the bottom end of Chic’s sound. And it’s so good. Fusing hard hitting four on the floor beats held together with a big reverbed clap, with a house piano, and bouncy bass lines this track is so catchy! The vocals are in the falsetto …
This track screams summer soul! Wow! From the top, guitar virtuoso Cory Wong opens fire with muted guitar playing 16ths although I get the feeling that may be delays, and the guitar sound over that comes in over the top playing the main riff.. I can’t even get my head around it.. it’s clean, it’s …
Well this is a slice of great R&B mixed in with a bit of a latin groove! I love the chords on this, led by a guitar with a touch of tremolo. The keyboards give it that sugar, and a lovely synth bass just to give it that bounce…. Kinsella’s voice rides in effortlessly handling …
Hello Lorenzo, how are you? Well you can imagine I am quite busy. For me the post-release time is the weirdest one. Congratulations on the release of “I Don’t Want To Live Without You” how does it feel? It feels good. but, I mean, the wheels are still running, so I don’t know exactly where …
