Well! This exploded out of my main speakers nicely! The guitar riff at the beginning comes in distorted and put through an EQ to make it sound like it’s coming out of a little radio. At 0:10 the bass comes in with kick and hi hat playing around two notes… Then… BOOM! 0:19 the whole …
Horns. Jangly guitars. Sweet harmonies. Strong punchy vocals. I mean… What’s not to like???? This song is a summer tune, with an upbeat outlook and that’s what attracted me to the song, singing about being ready to love again, with a strong confidence that Tony sings from his belly, it’s like you’re coming out of …
Unfortunately Steven Groovy Avocado Disco From depths of despair and almost complete mental breakdown, Steven Ramirez (Unfortunately Steven) gives inspiration in his music and story. Quirky and distinctive, Ramirez’s music is inspiring, but equally inspiring is his head-on challenge to mental illness. Read about his bravery, share his inspiration and then hear the challenge and …
This new single from one of my favourite acts of the last couple of years is quite frankly refreshing. It’s in the key of A Flat, which is an uplifting key anyway when you hear it, and probably not my choice of key to write in, but then it’s not my song! The vocals really …
Caitlyn Scarlett – Forgive Yourself This is a track Kwame Kwaten sent to me, and…. Wow. So, where do I start? It’s piano led, strings, and Caitlyn’s vocals just really give me goosebumps. I like goosebumps. This is beautiful, it just reminds me that the ability to write an emotional song is never going away. …
I chose to feature this song on the blog not least because the PR behind it Sally Newman is someone I trust implicitly with my music tastes but because… Well, this song changes and keeps my ears tickled with some music goodness. What do I mean? Good question. Well, when it starts it lulls you, …
Big Brooklyn Everyone, Everywhere I first heard Big Brooklyn four years ago when they released the album ‘Purpose’ ( CD Baby 2018). It has been a wait for the next release. Their big sound is as classy as their presentation and their new release ‘Everyone, Everywhere’ is out on 18th March. Once again, they delight …
This song is acoustic guitar led, very much a lullaby, but written in a letter form… Amelia Coburn’s vocals are very soft and breathy, and that’s what catches my ear straight away. I closed my eyes and just listened, and she’s got a voice that could calm a soul. I’m no ukulele aficionado by any …
Is This Love – Nathalie Miranda This is the ultimate pop song! It starts off with with a beat that feels like it’s in slow motion and then the music kicks off at tempo, with a catchy chorus… the lines are in your head so if you’re looking for a new ear worm this is …
This instrumental is… Full of life. In a time when the world needs to get up and celebrate what we have, this track hits the spot. Josephine plays the violin and flute on this and while you wouldn’t really associate the violin and flute occupying the melody line for jazz and funk, she does it …
