Review: “F**k Daddy” – Project CONCUBINE Fuck Daddy – Project CONCUBINE Well. This is different! 80s retro synth bass that you feel it in your belly through your headphones. The vocals are part rap, part sung, over a sparse beat that’s analogue in feel, but not quite. The thing I like about this track and …
Single Review: “Faith Over Fear” – Miles Pascall
Faith Over Fear – Miles Pascall This song is… quite simply put.. gorgeous. Why? Well, the first thing that gets you is the chord progression at the beginning, you’d think that it is purely in a minor key, but it changes up – the basic idea of major and minor chords a lot of people …
Single Review: “Doesn’t Matter What They Say” – Luke White
This is the new single from Luke White, and it is an acoustic led number, guitar beautifully played by the way. The lyrics look about the effects of social media, a struggle that we have all had at one point where you have looked at someone’s profile and compared yourself to them. 21st Century problems, …
Single Review: “This Life (Dance Remix)” – Abi Mia
This is the brand new single from Abi Mia, and it brings all of the energy of a classic EDM track, nice little build up from the bassline setting the tone to the drums dropping in with a 4 on the floor beat. It’s minimal, the synth choices are inspired in my opinion! I love …
Single Review: “Romance” The Ultra Violets
This is the new single from The Ultra Violets, and… well… It’s solid. Where do we begin? We have the loud guitars, the big drums, and solid harmonies. Let’s break it down. The guitars are based around a three chord progression, classic rock formation, but IV-VI-V, and it’s used effectively, giving the basis for a …
Single Review: “My Imperfections” – RafiellaB
RafiellaB – My Imperfections This new single by singer/songwriter by RafiellaB is a jazzy little number and introspective in lyric. It deals with something that is still in my experience a bit of a taboo, and that is mental health. For me songs like this give a voice to those that are unheard and that’s …
Single Review: “Brighter Day” – Louis Baker
This is such a smooth soul record, recalling the days of Motown ie Marvin Gaye with the melody showing off Louis’s vocals really well. Shout out to the guitarist on this track, he sounds like he studied at the feet of Funk Brothers Eddie Willis, Joe Messina and Robert White with his blues licks and …
Single Review: Geiste – Twig
I am very familiar with GEISTE having interviewed her, and it was a joy to see this song among the Songbird HQ inbox as well as in my email. I’m a fan. So let’s talk “Twig.” Atmospheric intro. Synths laying the foundation for what you’d think is a ballad, then Geiste’s vocals coming in you’d …
The Scribes X AstroSnare – I’m Back ft. MC Duke (MUSIC VIDEO) Review
“I’m back, back by popular demand, back on the beats back with the mic in hand I’m back like your spine, back one more time, back to show these rappers how to really spit a rhyme…” With a slick beat, flows that hit different the Bristol crew The Scribes are back, this time out of …
Single Review: RafiellaB
North London singer songwriter RafiellaB drops her debut single today, and… well… It’s pretty special! What do we have here? Well let’s unpack this shall we? It kicks off with an electric piano with acoustic piano underneath, and this plays a major role in the track. But then RafiellaB’s vocal comes in sultry, jazzy, with …
