It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …
If you think you know what a banjo sounds like, think again. Multi-instrumentalist and composer Stephen Godsall’s ‘Tingling Skin, Buzzing Wires’ presents the banjo in different ways, accompanied by flugelhorn, tenor sax, Wurlitzer piano, Hammond organ, piccolo, and more. Using combinations of instruments helps Godsall demonstrate the banjo’s potential and how we should perhaps look …
Chinwe is back, and I’m so glad! This is a track that exudes power from the moment it starts. It’s atmospheric, the drums are chest pounding with two hits on the snare and off tempo flow. There’s a warble to the sound too, which is so pleasing to the ear, the bass is deep and …

Hello Cory, how are you? I’m good, thanks! I’ve had had quite a bit of time off the road over the last couple of months, so I’ve been chilling and being creative in my studio everyday when my kids are at school. Congratulations on the release of “Lost In The Wonder” how does it feel …
Time for some hip hop infused reggae this next one comes to us from Manchester based <strong>J.Chambers</strong>, this starts off with a horn section that comes and goes throughout the track over a dubby bass, the signature piano chops of a reggae groove as well the foundation of the classic one drop groove. There is …
This starts off with a pulsating synth and low vocals that kind of leave you cold, it’s just the melody, plus the mind warping pitch bend – but then the sudden break at 0:34 introduces a single kick, before everything gets introduced, my favourite part of this track is the way the drums sit comfortably …
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 …
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 …
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 …
