Hello Marina, how are you? I’m doing great, thanks for having me. Congratulations on the release of your album “A Nomad Of Sound” How does it feel? I’m feeling very happy and quite surprised how it turned out. I’m getting a great feedback from both audience and critics. What’s your favourite track from it? That’s a …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Congratulations on the release of “Nasty (En)amor” how does it feel? Thank you! This is one of my most creative tracks I have made so it’s exciting to see it being received well What’s the story behind the song? This one’s a bit of a rollercoaster init? It starts off pretty sultry – I wanted …
Slic Vic and TravizWilde have come together on a jazz soul spiced tune and it’s… beautiful. The track starts off with a drum beat with a guitar playing the four chords around which the track is built. The song has elements of 90s R&B in the harmonies, which are beautifully layered – you can almost …
The Music Of Sound X Minimums – First Light This has such a cinematic feel to it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from Minimums having played and reviewed their work before. This is like an overture to the album and it’s an inspired choice both in choice of remixer and the sequence in which …
Project Blackbird are back with a track that’s a slick bit of production! You have Ming’s vocals switching between melody and spoken word effortlessly. Given the fact that the lyrics are in poetic form that’s probably not an accident. I like the layers to the vocals, where there’s a deeper voice emphasising on certain words …
