Another song that garnered lots of votes is this little number, which calls upon instruments that again you rarely get to hear in today’s popular music scene. I hear an accordion, with a double bass and it’s making me want to get lost and dance. I don’t know how but it’s nice and soothing to …
That drum intro is unmistakeably inspired by the incomparable Benny Papa Zita Benjamin. This has Motown written all over it, especially at the height of their Detroit era, you hear woodwind – specifically the flute, which is quite a rarity in pop music nowadays. They are missing a trick there! Lyrically this is about being …
Congratulations on the release of Humanity- how does it feel? It feels like letting a secret out into the world – a beautiful secret we’ve been patiently nurturing. We’ve been performing some of these songs live for a while, so finally being able to share the studio versions feels like opening a bottle that’s been …
B Of Briz is easily one of my favourite discoveries since joining the FOTN team 5 years ago. I mean, she gave me “What Will Buffy Do?” making me recall a zero budget tv show from the 1990’s that’s a cult hit. Anyway, she makes a welcome return to the faves with her track “A …
Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …
Lord Gabrielle Sey can sing! This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate. The melody soars through and Gabrielle switches gears in the …

Hi Ana, how are you? I’m doing well. Excited to be releasing “Bleeding Pen,” but also have some of those release jitters! Congratulations on the upcoming release of “Bleeding Pen,” how does it feel to put this song out? Insane, honestly! I’ve been really looking forward to putting this one out. I’m very proud of …
This one proved very popular with the moderators, coming away with the most votes from the team. This starts off as a gentle acoustic number, but then the build into an atmospheric anthemic chorus is a surprise, it comes up at a rush, and leaves you wanting more! I like the layered vocals, the harmonies …
This looks like Dog Monologue’s first single from what I can see, and it’s a great way to introduce us to their world. This is an electro-pop track, with an ethereal feel, I’m getting the feeling they have a love for analog synths. Lyrically this talks about a journey in the moonlight in a zoo, …
