Nitin Sawhney and Guy Garvey have collaborated on a song ahead of the release of an album in October. There is so much to love about this song. First of all, it starts off with a multilayered a cappella. The main vocal does some really lovely runs, but It’s the harmony that caught me off …
Hello Remi, how are you? I’m doing good, thanks…just got back in from a walk in the glorious sunshine of the day. Congratulations on the release of “Moonlight Lady” how does it feel? Thank you. It feels cool. As an artist I think anytime you’re lucky enough to release something that you’re passionate about and …

To Ghana – the motherland – we go for this, and it’s got the taste of suya, jollof rice and an ice cold Fanta in the summer sun with ice dripping down the sides. In other words this song deserves the chef’s kiss. Gabrielle Sey and Brapurple join forces on this Gabrielle bringing the soulful …
Alice is back with a track that could burn up the dance floor easily! It’s got a groove for days based around a four on the floor beat, punctuated with timbales – brining in elements of latin rhythms, the basis of which disco in New York was built on in the early 70s. This song …
This is a track from Australian artist Mikey J, and it’s…. Bluesy! It’s a slow tempo track from his new album “Wondering”, and it’s lyrically it’s a reassurance about how his love would never change. It starts off with a set of questions: “Do you ever wonder if this life would be the same? If …
Hello Sarah, how are you? I’m good thanks 🙂 Congratulations on the release of “Urban Melancholia”, how does it feel? It feels unreal, I’ve been working on this project for over a year and I would have never imagined it being so well received. It’s your second compilation since “Burning London”, what inspired this one? …
This is an acoustic version of a track that This Is War! released almost a year to the day ago. And I absolutely love it! This is a stripped back acoustic version, almost to the point of folk, the progression in the intro is a stroke of genius, but what struck me was the intro …
The Fabulous Red Diesel is not your average jazz ensemble. The ensemble sits somewhere between jazz, rhythm and blues, rock, and sheer mayhem and it suits them. Their unique take on life and music have inspired many, but they follow their own path. A mix of different personalities, the band creates entertaining, self-aware shows and …
This track starts off all mild mannered and chilled… and the vocals wonder over the guitar riff.. but the timing of the riff should have given me the clue because everything comes powering in at around the 0:50 second mark, and it turns into a gorgeous indie pop track. Those guitars are beautifully played! The …
