To close out a fabulous top ten, we have a track that starts off all mysterious, and flips the script on wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to find comfort in isolation – this song is all about escaping to civilisation! I like that, it’s like coming out of a …
That drum intro is unmistakeably inspired by the incomparable Benny Papa Zita Benjamin. This has Motown written all over it, especially at the height of their Detroit era, you hear woodwind – specifically the flute, which is quite a rarity in pop music nowadays. They are missing a trick there! Lyrically this is about being …
Congratulations on the release of Humanity- how does it feel? It feels like letting a secret out into the world – a beautiful secret we’ve been patiently nurturing. We’ve been performing some of these songs live for a while, so finally being able to share the studio versions feels like opening a bottle that’s been …
In doing my weekly crate digging for new releases I came across this gem of a track. It’s a hip hop head bopper from Wales’s Unity and she brings tongue twisting lyrical excellence to this track – and what a track – the beat plods along nicely, made up of kick, snare, hi hat, vocal …

Well! Vulfpeck dropped fire again. I mean it’s Vulfpeck… what do you expect? Just to give you a bit of background, I get recommended tracks from everywhere. There are the usual sources, instagram, Spotify release radar, going through the FOTN inbox, Apple Music, the precious PRs, pluggers, record labels, other bloggers… but this one? This …
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 …
