This song is a thing of beauty, it’s acoustic, and has Maya’s signature vocal… She sings strongly over an acoustic guitar that has percussion underneath. For me it’s the harmonies that are doing the job, especially where they are adding more and more in the chorus – there are harmonies throughout the song, but the …
Hello ION how are you? I’ve been great! Really pressing on with releasing music, making the accompanying visuals, and ensuring that it is all conceptually cohesive. The visual content that I’ve put out this year to go with my new songs Vega and Xeno has been received really well. So it’s a small nod for …
Congratulations on the release of “Holding Their Breath” how does it feel? Amazing! We waited a long time to have our first single out, and the response has been in wildest dreams territory. It’s brilliant to have one of our songs out there and have made this thing we love, and that it’s finding so …

This track is interesting in so many ways. It’s a powerful ballad, which starts off guitar led, and I get the feeling that the acoustic guitar plays a vital part in the pecussion of the overall arrangement. I’ll explain why shortly. Christina’s vocals are warm, it sits right at the front of the mix, she …
This is an instrumental of sublime levels… The drums are dusty and warm, reminding you of old jazz records, fused with a vinyl crackle, and it just whisks me back to listening to records on a really good hi fi system, it just sounds so natural. You can’t always get that with a sample of …
Well, this song is a protest song if ever there was one! Sunshine reggae groove laid down in dub style with reverb which is the main ingredient of a dub track… Lord knows we need this song right now. This song is about wars going on around the world. It may not be on our …
As it’s Tom’s birthday today I decided to review one of his biggest hits. This song has so much soul, mixing jazzy rhythms with a beautiful Rhodes piano and a saxophone solo – oh don’t forget the crunchy guitars… I got introduced to this song quite late in life, as I was discussing Fresh On …
