It’s been a strange kind of day. I have watched the first two episodes of the new Obi Wan tv series, Stranger Things season 4 just dropped… And Cable Street Collective sent me their album to review. I’m blessed right now and it’s not even 9am yet. So what did they send me? Well, it’s …

Single Review: “Only An Angel” – Jaelee Small
Jaelee has been on my radar for a very long time having been part of the top level function band The Black Hat Band who absolutely kill it live anyway… She’s got a ridiculous vocal range that is shown off really well here, her new single. As usual, the production standard is high – I’m …
Single Review: Bainbridge – Struggling To Sleep
I’m liking the synth lead playing the melody, nice thing for the ears! This has a ska feel not as obvious as Madness, but the melody played by Ben Bainbridge recalls ghosts of “One Step Beyond”.

Single Review: “Shade Of Green” – Lizzie Esau
Lizzie Esau returns with a song that explores her using spoken word at the beginning of the track… There are so many things I like about this song it sounds like everyone’s walking into a rehearsal or live stage and then sitting down to get this song going.. Lizzie’s talent for writing a catchy melody …
Single Review: “Jouska” – Josephine Pascoe
This instrumental is… Full of life. In a time when the world needs to get up and celebrate what we have, this track hits the spot. Josephine plays the violin and flute on this and while you wouldn’t really associate the violin and flute occupying the melody line for jazz and funk, she does it …
