@riley.wayy is my one to watch for many reasons. First and foremost she’s a singer songwriter who is able to pack a punch with her songs, and this is illustrated beautifully in this song, it’s an acoustic led track with all the right ingredients – a catchy melody, a middle 8 and an outro that will …
I’ve tried so many times to try and begin this review over the last few days and I just didn’t know where to begin. I played this song a few times on my show, it started out on Islington Radio then when I moved to Exile FM then I played it then too. It’s never …
We lost a gospel music giant Richard Smallwood on on 30th December 2025. I first came across this track in the early 2000s when I joined a choir called Many Rivers, through a chance encounter with someone I met while working in King’s Road. I joined as a singer not a keyboard player so I …
It’s been a minute since I reviewed Dictator, so I was happy to see this track on my releases for the week. This track starts off with their usual energy, it chugs along with a great intro with a guitar, and vocals before going full octane! What caught my attention is the driving beat, it’s …
This track has caused quite a stir on its release, I went through the usual socials on the 1st January to find what’s going on and Jonas fans everywhere have really got behind this one, and with good reason. This is a pop rock track with much of the energy packed in the vocals, which …
Oh I cheered when <strong>Sunflower Thieves</strong> showed up in the inbox last week….They are back! Already taken is acoustic guitar led with the addition of an analog drum pattern passed through a filter – all this puts the vocals at the front, and the lyrics simply ask how do you let go of something that’s …
Salt Lake City you say? Well this is new territory for us! This is a song that calls upon analogue synths and pitch bends giving it a real 80s feel, the beat is off kilter and the sounds are ethereal – guitars both acoustic and electric provide a great backdrop on this – what I …
This starts off with a pulsating synth and low vocals that kind of leave you cold, it’s just the melody, plus the mind warping pitch bend – but then the sudden break at 0:34 introduces a single kick, before everything gets introduced, my favourite part of this track is the way the drums sit comfortably …
Right we need to put some respect on this name. This is <strong>Chima Anya</strong> – hold on let me correct myself DOCTOR Chima Anya’s return to the fresh faves, and he’s done a LOT. I mean, he’s been on Britain’s Got Talent (Yes, yes I yelled at my tv). I’ve interviewed him in the past …
Time for some indie pop from Brighton’s <strong>Bloody Tourist</strong> who I suspect took their name from a 10cc record – if so, that’s a pretty solid reference! This is low key, it starts like as if you’re listening to a talkback from a mixing console where the engineer or producer is talking to the artist …
