Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …
Throwback Track Of The Day “Groove Is In The Heart – Deee-Lite.@theonlyjosie reminded me that this track was 35 years old. I remember the year it came out, it was a heady time, it was pre Madchester, Oasis were still in nappies and Grunge was still in the Delta Quadrant. This further brought the possibilities of …
On first listen I thought I’d been transported back to 1984 – neon signs, enough hairspray to destroy the ozone layer, and the ubiquitous Linndrum which I’m suspecting I’m hearing here. This has all the makings of a track made in the nerve centre of Prince’s genius, and it’s done so well! All the funk, …
Kristina Koller describes herself as ‘an evolving jazz-centric artist,’ and she is steadfastly making inroads into the music world. She is a songwriter, arranger & vocalist, and her music transcends generations, while embracing the history and mood of traditional jazz. Her album ‘Walk On By’ reimagines the Burt Bacharach songbook with intriguing, genre-bending arrangements and …
This hits the ground running as a country record, the brushes are out on the drums going at a fair old tempo! The guitars twang, it feels like this song should have been recorded in a prestigious recording in Nashville, but no this is straight out of the UK and it just really does hit …
I recently had a chat online with @weeblade about @petshopboys and it made me think of this song. It was never released as a single, but was on their Behaviour album from 1990. This is typical of that era of the PSBs, it’s moody, and having been recorded on analog synths, it gives off that warmth. Lyrically it’s …
This track is a mesh of so many different influences and this is what attracted me tot it. First of all it starts off with a strummed acoustic guitar giving me the impression that it was a country song. That perception changed when the bass came in, I reckon it’s enhanced with a synth too. …
In doing my weekly crate digging for new releases I came across this gem of a track. It’s a hip hop head bopper from Wales’s Unity and she brings tongue twisting lyrical excellence to this track – and what a track – the beat plods along nicely, made up of kick, snare, hi hat, vocal …
Hello Nathan how are you? I’m great, it’s nice to have a chat with you. Congratulations on the release of La Grande Salle’ how does it feel? Thank you so much. It feels really good—especially knowing that some of these songs waited a long time before being released. It’s a relief and a joy to …
Sunflower Thieves are back with a cracker of a song – big acoustic guitars, drums that cut through the mix, especially during the pre chorus with toms that really sound pleasing to the ear. Add to this a cello, and ethereal vocals and you have The Sunflower Thieves down to a tee. This song is …
