Hello Naomi how are you? I’m great thanks! Congratulations on the release of “Just Met” how does it feel? I feel incredibly blessed and happy. What’s the story behind this track? I met my current girlfriend as my neighbor and we became friends but then we developed feelings for each other, so when we started dating …

Raskin has been a professional musician since his teenage years in Cleveland, Ohio, and his four-decade-plus career has taken him across the world. …
Village of The Sun ‘ First Light’ A few years back, I was vaguely watching Jools Holland’s ‘Later’ on the BBC. A due came on, and I was awake -searing sax and wonderfully intuitive drumming– and such energy. That duo was Binker Golding on sax and Moses Boyd on drums. I contacted them through their …
Wow… this is a TUNE! The soulful vocals mixed with a hip hip beat and strings is what sold it to me. Toby flies in with a vocal that’s lazy and sings with a drawl that’s not unpleasant to listen to, there’s a cello accompanying him and it’s brilliant! It’s the chorus that hits me …
This track really got me going! Very retro in the chord progression, I get the feeling that might be a Yamaha CP-70 piano sample, or close enough! It reminds me very much of Toto/Genesis/Phil Collins in that sound…. The lyrics are out of this world. No pun intended. “You make me wanna build a …
What I like about this is the way it opens…. The drums on this is incredible! It starts off with a stop and start sequence from 0:00-0:21 where it settles into a groove that comes and goes through out the song, the subby 808 bass slides in and we are off to the races! What …
Hello Blu Jay, how are you? I’m good, very excited to be talking to Platinum Mind. I’ve really loved reading the artist profiles and I’m so excited to be included. Congratulations on the release of Trees, how does it feel? It’s always exciting to release a new song, and share it with people. Usually, I’m …
When I get sent a track by a PR company or record plugger – in this case Cathy from 44Faced (Shout out to Cathy!) I try not to look at the assets straight away. I listen to the track so I can hear the artists without making any judgements – so when I saw that …
Inheritance This track is so soulful, it’s got all the right ingredients of a gospel hip hop track and so much more… I love the piano progression on this. Triple O’s voice is a London accent, and he enunciates carefully like a preacher should, he speaks over the beat carefully so that every …
Saviour This starts off very gently. Piano led, with a cello and violins playing the county melody, then acoustic guitar to strum the rhythm, this as an opener as a perfect choice. “You were a precious stone, Now I am all alone, I’m fading, yeah I’m fading.” I like this line. The drums come in …
