Album Review: “Eleven Short Stories – The Remix Album” – The Music Of Sound

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Pretty Baby” – Garlen Lo

updated on

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

updated on

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.  Let’s talk about the instruments first. It’s a simple arrangement, bass keeping the groove along with the drums with a slight variation in …

updated on

Today is the Mercury Music Awards and they are being hosted at @abbeyroadstudios @freshonthenet asked a question on his fabulous #nowplaying show on @bbc6music – what album in the past got nominated but never won?

Single Review: “No Future” – The Great Leslie

updated on

The Great Leslie are back with a track that’s an absolute stomper! Big rock drums that swing on the toms, big vocals, big crunchy guitars… well what do you expect from the great Leslie? A lot and then some. This is a message with several layers – let’s start with the cover – a picture …

Single Review: “Money” – Ahmala

updated on

Well! This combines jazz, hip hop, neo soul, a touch of Motown and some gospel into this lovely track! There’s a flute to kick off proceedings over a bass that I’m suspecting is played live on the recording – it’s got some depth to it. Add to that a Rhodes piano and an upright piano, …

Hello Flo how are you? That’s a BIG question. I’m feeling excited.  Congratulations on the release of “Clay”, how does it feel?  Thank you very much! It feels surreal. It’s called a ‘release’ for a reason as that’s literally what it feels like.  It’s a ten track project, what was the inspiration behind it? This …
