Single Review: “To The River” – Dorsten
Arizona brother and sister duo Dorsten are back and what a number! This song starts off with footsteps and claps slowly, along with finger picked guitars, then Sophie comes in with her signature powerhouse vocal. Careful. She will knock you off your seat. Little blonde girl with the big voice? Of course she is. This …
Single Review: “Sense Of Reality” – Lindsey Hinkle

Lindsey’s voice just sits comfortably over this and it may sound a little cheesy but this is the kind of song I could just imagine someone sitting in a coffee shop and performing. You can have your stadium fillers …

Single Review: “Someone’s Sometimes” – Sarah Michie

Song Review: “She Moves” – Carrie Grant
Carrie Grant released her album today, and this is the third track in the running order. I have not been able to progress past this one. It’s a piano based ballad, with strings and a strong backdrop of harmonies that are hinted at but it only appears once just leaving space for Carrie to do …
Single Review: “Tears” – Miles Pascall
This new single from Miles Pascall return to what he does best. Great soulful vocals over an epic backing. It’s been a minute since we heard from him and it’s a welcome return. The stand out parts for me are the chorus, but also the verse where it’s him versus the piano, just giving the …
