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: “Power Of The Wolf” – Beth Roars.
This song has so much of a punch behind it I don’t even know where to begin. First up, the production value is up there… It combines eastern melodies and otherworldly synth sounds with electronica and pop sounds. The lyrics speak of uncertainty in life but when it comes down to it when you take …
Single Review: “Someone’s Sometimes” – Sarah Michie
This song starts off really moody, with chords in the lower register… But Sarah’s vocals come in over the top and it’s such a lovely contrast. It’s such a powerful ballad, and the lyrics even name check “Creep” by Radiohead, and I love that for this song. I’ve just realised there’s a nerdy reference in …
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 …

Single Review: “By The River” – The Crystal Teardrop
Sitars? Of course. This has a bit of the Eastern touch melody-wise combined with a bit of indie pop, and it works really well. The vocals are so clear, and the guitars are put through their paces with phasing, a bit of reverse and tremolo. Great work production wise. This is quite a soundscape especially …
