Alice Offley just hit me in the gut with her bass, walked away laughing and left me doing the something stinks in the room face. This is high praise. Not many people get that award. Very rare. This song oozes funk, mixed with dance elements – synth bass to reinforce the live bass, four on …

Single Review: “Sirens” – Sunflower Thieves
Leeds based duo Sunflower Thieves make a welcome return with their single “Sirens”. I love the vocals on this and the production is outstanding nothing overpowering the overall song.

ILana’s voice is the star here. She’s got such a soulful quality that …
