What a way to kick off 2025! This song has got all the good stuff in, at the beginning it’s got a nice little synth glitch like as if it’s an audio tag. A synth bass that’s got a bit of warp comes in over a hip hop beat that’s got a little bit of …

Single Review: “Someone’s Sometimes” – Sarah Michie
This song starts off really moody, with chords in the lower register… But Sarah’s vocals come in over the top and it’s such a lovely contrast.

Single Review: “Few And Far Between” – Calum Baird
