Track Of The Day: “Fastlove” – George Michael

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 …

Fresh Faves: Batch 604

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 …

Track Of The Day: “Sunset And Memories” – Blue Lab Beats X Kaidi Akinnibi

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 …

Track Of The Day: “Authority” – Sharon Katta

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 …

Track Of The Day: “Grippy Socks Jail” – Court Lee

This is trippy. I like trippy.  This song is not what you probably think it’s about, but if you think it’s about a hospital stay then you’re probably right. This song is very short coming in at 1:06 but within that 1 minute and six seconds we are taught about what happens in a hospital …

Track Of The Day – “Days We Left Behind” – Paul McCartney

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 – …

Single Review: Chinwe – Lately

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 …
