Single Review: “Broken Homes” – Hannah Scott
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 …

Single Review: “Pretty Baby” – Garlen Lo
Garlen Lo is back with his brand of humour and self deprecating lyrics in this song that he wrote at the age of 17. One thing I wanted to point out is that he’s really good at this homemade kind of sound – acoustic guitar recorded to tape and mixed so that you get the …
Single Review: “You Lost Out” – The Music Of Sound
This song is just gorgeous. With a line up change and the addition of Sherry Sahayaraj, The Music Of Sound keep their melodic flavours going but with a slight spice in flavour.
