updated on Leave a Comment on Fresh Faves: Batch 610

AZU YUCHE – Weak Azu Yeché · Weak Azu Yeché opens the faves this week with something a little special.. This has the classic soul around it, I’d even go as far as to say this has neo soul vibes – it reminds me of D’Angelo with those guitar licks! Clean tone! Add to that …

Track Of The Day: “The Carrier Bag Theory Of Fiction” – Loula Yorke X Charlotte Jolly

updated on

From the moment this started it gave me goosebumps because the long drawn notes vibrate within you. The melody sounds medieval, even though it’s composed on a reed organ. Growing up I played a variety of keyboards but never a reed one. The tones coming out of this, it just takes you to another time …

Single Review: “Shadows” – Ben Clifton X Nicoya Polar

updated on

This is a jazzy number that’s got me relaxed on a very packed train to work! The piano starts off the proceedings in the lower register, and then it’s joined by Nicoya’s gorgeous voice, she brings so much soul to this. The adlibs before she hits the verse tell you that she’s about to do …

When I first heard this track my first question was….  WHO’S GOING TO PAY £15 FOR A KEBAB????  Pre covid there used to a kebab shop near my house that I used to treat myself to every so often, you’d get a large portion inside a pitta with your choice of toppings for less than …
