On 4th May 1996 this song was George Michael’s 7th UK no. 1 starting a three week run at the top of the chart and it was the second of six tracks taken from his Older album. First of all I can’t believe it’s 30 years since this track went to No.1. It’s wild to …
Wow. From the intro to the end, what we have here is an instrumental track that fuses futuristic jazz sensibilities with leanings towards chords you can only have learned in church. Shout out Aaron Lindsey, Tom Brooks and those uncles that guided us through those hours of rehearsals. Anyway, the synth lead and guitars take …
ANNA BLAISE – We’ll Be King Anna Blaise · We'll Be King Anna Blaise is a newcomer to fresh on the net and brings a down tempo synth track with an ethereal vocals. This also appears to be her debut single! In any case double congratulations on making the faves as well as her debut! …
I wrote the faves reviews for fresh on the net this week so I thought I’d publish them here. BUTTER FUNK FAMILY – Love Power Printz Board · Love Power (feat. Nadav Peled) To kick off this week’s faves we have a psychedelic funk track that takes us all the way back to the early …
First up – this track is way too catchy – if you’re not disciplined enough to hold it down and keep it calm in public then I suggest you don’t play this. I’m serious. From the beginning you have a melody that hooks you, that’s sung by Colenso Abafana Benkokhelo and it’s pure fire, add …
Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene! A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading …
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 …
Sharon Katta drops a track that combines electronica with a bit of spoken word and he does it in such a way that your attention is held for the whole time it’s playing. His vocals are layered on this with harmonies and he uses them as a pad melding in with the synths… my favourite …
Maxi Priest has landed with a track that goes classic in its style – you have the one drop beat, the horn section the layered harmonies, organ and electric piano rounding it out along with the guitar lick and bassline for you to groove on. This has summer written all over it and Maxi brings …
This song is the first release from Paul McCartney’s new album “The Boys From Dungeon Lane” and it follows Paul’s ability to weave a story into a song. To me this is almost the lyrical sequel to the ever beautiful “In My Life”, given that it revisits Paul’s childhood. There are references to war – …
