This track is nothing short of a banger. It starts off as an EDM track, quite slow, with atmospheric sounds…. Then at 0:49 the trombone played so beautifully comes in… This melody has been stuck in my head since I heard it! At 1:23 the solo really kicks in, ushering a funky bass line as …
This is the new single from the man who holds down the bottom end of Chic’s sound. And it’s so good. Fusing hard hitting four on the floor beats held together with a big reverbed clap, with a house piano, and bouncy bass lines this track is so catchy! The vocals are in the falsetto …
This song is proper pop. It caught my ear as I was going through the spotify recommendations and checked out the rest of the album and this is track 2. I thought they were making a mistake when recommendation as part of their jazz curation, but…. This actually works! It’s so catchy, with a singalong …
This track screams summer soul! Wow! From the top, guitar virtuoso Cory Wong opens fire with muted guitar playing 16ths although I get the feeling that may be delays, and the guitar sound over that comes in over the top playing the main riff.. I can’t even get my head around it.. it’s clean, it’s …
Well this is a slice of great R&B mixed in with a bit of a latin groove! I love the chords on this, led by a guitar with a touch of tremolo. The keyboards give it that sugar, and a lovely synth bass just to give it that bounce…. Kinsella’s voice rides in effortlessly handling …
Hello Kim, how are you? I am feeling pretty great this summer. Congratulations on the release of “Influencers.” How does it feel? Thankful that it is released. I had forgotten how much work it was to put together an entire album. It’s a 12-track project, featuring collaborators from around the world. What was the story …
Speech Debelle just dropped a beauty of an album, “Sunday Dinner On A Monday” and one of my favourite tracks on it is this one for many reasons. The warped record playing the chords sets the tone, especially with the crackle. The beat drops in borrowing from afrobeat with the rimshot, kick and shakers. It’s …
Most of us enjoy watching TV or films. We might watch adverts or view trailers. Some of the music from films and adverts stays as an earworm for days. Characters have particular musical motifs (a leitmotif), just think of those two notes every time the shark appears in ‘Jaws’, and products become associated with simple, …
Hello Lorenzo, how are you? Well you can imagine I am quite busy. For me the post-release time is the weirdest one. Congratulations on the release of “I Don’t Want To Live Without You” how does it feel? It feels good. but, I mean, the wheels are still running, so I don’t know exactly where …
Nitin Sawhney and Guy Garvey have collaborated on a song ahead of the release of an album in October. There is so much to love about this song. First of all, it starts off with a multilayered a cappella. The main vocal does some really lovely runs, but It’s the harmony that caught me off …
