Hello Riley how are you? I’m actually pretty well all things considered. Thanks for being so patient with me getting back to you on this. The fires here have been devastatingly surreal, but thankfully our firefighters and first responders have been doing an incredible job. Everyone I know and love is safe, which is the …
Congratulations on the release of Mrs. Other how does it feel? It feels nice to get it out. Compared to some other tracks I was able to get this one sorted quite quickly. I feel good about this one: it hits a sweet spot. What’s the story behind the song? The song’s basically about getting …
First of all, let’s get this out of the way. Hiromi is a badass on the piano. No. Let me say it louder for those that didn’t hear me in the back. Hiromi is a badass on the piano. I SAID WHAT I SAID! This track starts off with a fun synth lead, it’s an …
Hello Cedric how are you? I’m great, really excited to release my new album “A Luminous World – Time is Color Vol.2” in a week ! Congratulations on the release of A Luminous World Vol. 2 how does it feel? I’m happy to share this new music with the world. It’s a very unique album …
In honour of the epic news that The Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald are putting out a new album after 40 years I thought I’d revisit this classic track from 1976. What do I like about this song? Well. EVERYTHING! The first time I ever heard it was when I watched Forrest Gump. It was …
This? This is by no means a polka song. I get the feeling that this is full of Easter eggs in reference to John Candy and his acting prowess. Why? Well, first of all Polka King Of The North West activated a long dormant memory that made me think of Home Alone and how Kevin’s …
This track is bluesy, and I LOVE IT! You’ve got everything on here. They through everything at this track – is that a Jewish Harp??? Very possible. The guitar at the beginning starts off with a bit of a growl, I think I can imagine Eric Clapton giving a nod of approval and nudging John …
What caught my ear with this particular song is Freya’s voice – her tone is rich. It’s nice and deep, and touches the soul. I think that is intentional because of the content of the lyrics, this will cause a literal resonance within you to make you want to progress. What do I mean? Well, …
This song is one of those ones you’re supposed to have with your morning cuppa. It starts off with a cymbal swell, then Naima Girou comes in with this beautiful BEAUTIFUL vocal that for some reason really just made me smile. She’s playing her double bass and it fits in so smoothly. This switches from …
Oh my word. On first hearing this track I thought it was a long forgotten track from the 60s left in the archives of some studio in Memphis. The vocals are rough, and full of blues and soul, Ben l’Oncle Soul’s voice does not show his 41 years of age he sings with a power …
