B Of Briz is easily one of my favourite discoveries since joining the FOTN team 5 years ago. I mean, she gave me “What Will Buffy Do?” making me recall a zero budget tv show from the 1990’s that’s a cult hit. Anyway, she makes a welcome return to the faves with her track “A …
Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio. Wow. This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops …
Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …
Lord Gabrielle Sey can sing! This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate. The melody soars through and Gabrielle switches gears in the …
I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years. This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and …
Hello Mary how are you? I am great, thank you! Congratulations on the release of The Poison I Choose how does it feel? It has been surreal, I have been working towards this release for some time now. Having the album out everywhere has been a dream of mine and I am excited for what’s …
Hi Ana, how are you? I’m doing well. Excited to be releasing “Bleeding Pen,” but also have some of those release jitters! Congratulations on the upcoming release of “Bleeding Pen,” how does it feel to put this song out? Insane, honestly! I’ve been really looking forward to putting this one out. I’m very proud of …
This one comes packed with indie rock swagger – I swear I heard a castanet! It happens once, but then with this song, there’s a lot to keep you interested, lyrical references to the state of the world today plus a nod to a literary classic – George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the emotional oh …
This one proved very popular with the moderators, coming away with the most votes from the team. This starts off as a gentle acoustic number, but then the build into an atmospheric anthemic chorus is a surprise, it comes up at a rush, and leaves you wanting more! I like the layered vocals, the harmonies …
This looks like Dog Monologue’s first single from what I can see, and it’s a great way to introduce us to their world. This is an electro-pop track, with an ethereal feel, I’m getting the feeling they have a love for analog synths. Lyrically this talks about a journey in the moonlight in a zoo, …
