Album Review: “Here Because Of Hope” – Ezra Collective

updated on Leave a Comment on Album Review: “Here Because Of Hope” – Ezra Collective

Ezra Collective dropped a new album! Let’s go. This is how the album opens up, and it’s read beautifully by Letitcia Wright – yep. Black Panther herself.  She approaches the reading with gravity and reverence, and why not? Imagine someone like Sir Ian McKellen or Dame Judi Dench doing a reading? She’s giving it emotion …

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “First Move” – Lily Ward

Track Of The Day “First Move” @lilywardy my mate Lily Ward dropped a new single on Friday and unsurprisingly it’s a good one! This combines dream pop elements with drum n bass beats, carrying her delicate vocals but don’t let that fool you as because when she hits the chorus she’s in her element – what Lily …

ADAM WEDD – YOU ATE MY SANDWHICH! ADAM WEDD · U ATE MY SANDWHICH! Adam Wedd opens Fresh Faves with a song that I immediately connected with – even before hearing the song I read the title and my first thought was – Ross Geller losing it in that little known TV show Friends from …

Track Of The Day: Freedom From The City – The Living Room Collective

updated on

Are you listening to this track? It slaps. The groove is perfect R&B flavour with a touch of funk, a bit of Latin and hip hop. Ruinz Ason brings the spice on the rap.the live instrumentation gives me Earth Wind And Fire pre September vibes, it’s very slick in production, tight arrangements! I love the …

Track Of The Day: “Joy” – Martin Smith X Watoto Choir

updated on

I’ve just discovered this little beauty released on the 7th August! This is gospel music with an anthemic chorus that you can imagine echoing in churches around the world – hold that thought. Martin Smith is no stranger to writing anthemic hymns – after all it was 30 years this year that I heard Thankyou …

Chillout Track Of The Day: “Barber’s Adagio For Strings” – William Orbit

updated on

I remember when this came out, thirty one years ago, and it was put on a lot of chill out CDs specifically the Ibiza chill out ones which I thought was an odd choice because when I thought Ibiza I associated it with dance music. But then there’s also the need to wind down – …

Track Of The Day: “Global” Ana Bulnes

updated on

This track brings Latin grooves and melds it with atmospheric sounds, plus a vocal delivered in Spanish.., this track is giving me the perfect soundtrack to my sunset… the beat is built around shakers, kick, snare, a sunny 808 which is perfect for the date. Ana Bulnes delivers a performance that isn’t reliant on the …

Track Of The Day: Sky – Noonzi

updated on

 this track caught my attention because of the rhythmic textures – the congas, the shakers, vocal samples and cymbal swells – there’s not much singing here but it whisks you off to another world it’s the perfect tropic summer vibe! I like the way the drums roll into each other like a stuttering effect, the …
