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 …
This track is a beautiful folk number with an ethereal quality to it, which makes me understand why Ch’Lu chose to label this as new age. Within the track you hear so many layers – bird song, operatic vocals, crickets. All accompanied by a classical guitar, this whisked me off to a far away place …
I like the futuristic soul jazz vibes to this! The chords and bass line define this perfectly. I could imagine Pharrell jamming out to this, possibly even Justin Timberlake. The synths play an important part in this, providing an earworm for days! The lyrics show a dry sense of humour about this being a 2 …
Canadian songbird Amelia McFall is back, bringing her brand of soul, jazz and blues to her new single, and it’s a stunner of a track. This is piano led, and Amelia sings this comfortably, her voice sounds so rich on this! Wow. I just felt a warmth hearing it on the first play. Her vocals …
This song soundtracked my walk around Sainsbury’s. It’s gentle, but very dark in terms of the progression and feel though so it’s quite a contrast! This is an acoustic led number, with strings added for good measure, Andrew sings in the higher register but it’s whispered. My favourite part is when the piano and strings …
What a way to kick off 2025! This song has got all the good stuff in, at the beginning it’s got a nice little synth glitch like as if it’s an audio tag. A synth bass that’s got a bit of warp comes in over a hip hop beat that’s got a little bit of …
This is the cover of a classic Amy Winehouse song I never knew I needed. The connection between The Zutons and Amy Winehouse is a pretty cool one given that she turned an already banging track of theirs called “Valerie” into arguably one of the best cover versions ever. Now The Zutons are back with …
Hello Mike how are you? Very well, thank you. Busy!! Congratulations on the release of “Perplexity” how does it feel? It feels amazing! This tune is so authentically up my street, inspired by a combination of a Belize roots rhythm, the melodicism of my Keyboard heroes, Chick Corea and George Duke, and the music of …
Irene Serra – A lot of jazz, a bit of baking and The Great British Songbook Irene Serra is a musician with an eclectic taste in music, but her love and strength of conviction lie with jazz. Irene was born in Italy, raised in Denmark, and now lives in London. It is no wonder she …
Another electric piano laden track! I’m blessed. While the chords and melody are very pretty this hides within it the pain of families breaking up: My father’s scars were etched upon his skin,By his parents’ fighting and the state it left him in,They had little choice,But the world has spun around,So I stand and I …
