It’s been 30 years since @takethat released their third album “Nobody Else” and it shows how far things have come. In that time, Robbie Williams left, the band split up some time after that, all had successful solo careers and even reunited – something no one ever saw coming – first without Robbie and then …
In honour of Tom Robinson’s birthday I thought I’d pick out my favourite track of his to review. I first heard this track when I saw him perform live at Blackheath Halls in January 2024, he used it to close out his set that night, and it was just one of those songs that stays …
Hello Fini how are you? I’m great, thanks! Congratulations on the release of “Last Night Of The World” how does it feel? It feels really good- it was a long time coming (from conception to realisation) and it straddles the birth of my daughter, so I am relieved & also proud to have wrapped it …
Neil March, Sherry Sahayaraj and Elena Trent are back with a track that’s got a real nice bounce to it! Following a great few months of live dates and extremely encouraging streaming numbers, as well as support from BBC Introducing and BBC Orbit you could call this a bit of a triumph.

It’s 4am. I’m wheezing. Why? Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he’s dropped a cracker of a tune, and it’s made me chuckle. Let’s get into it. This starts off with what I can assume is a toy trumpet, because when you hear it, it sets the tone …
Hello Robin how are you? Feeling great thanks, slightly frantic with preparations for the album launch event, but as the album has been 6 years in the making from the first inspiration and came out today it feels like a big moment. Congratulations on the release of Return From The Source how does it feel? …
Rikke has released her new album and it’s billed as an album of conflicts, goodbyes, and new beginnings. With that as a premise, it intrigued me enough to want to do a deep delve into this. Always A Part Of Me This is an acoustic number that goes for the heartstrings from the first line: …
Hello Lola, how are you? I’m good thank you ❤️ Hope you’re well!I’m great thankyou for asking! Congratulations on the release of “Jump The Gun” how does it feel? Thanks so much! Releasing Jump The Gun feels absolutely amazing. It’s always a mix of excitement and anxiety inducing nerves putting new music out into the world, but …
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 …
Now this is an interesting one, very jazzy, and sophisticated. I love jazzy and sophisticated. In a listening post that sat comfortably among folk songs, hip hop and a full blown concerto this just testifies to the taste of the team and the diversity of what comes through. It makes it hard to choose your …
