Single Review: “Sun Over The Zoo” – Dog Monologue

This looks like Dog Monologue’s first single from what I can see, and it’s a great way to introduce us to their world. This is an electro-pop track, with an ethereal feel, I’m getting the feeling they have a love for analog synths. Lyrically this talks about a journey in the moonlight in a zoo, …

Single Review: “Sunrise On The Snow” – ABS

This is a piano based ballad, and it’s just gorgeous, it starts off with soulful chords, with Abs’s vocal coming in nice and rich, singing of someone that is the bright light to her life, and singing with such a positive energy it’s infectious. This reminds me of a quote from “This Is Us” – …

Track Of The Day: “Don’t Wait” – Wild Horse

This one starts off at a fast pace, the acoustic guitar kicks off things with a deceptively slow strum then the drums set the engine running! This is a driven track and the lyrics match the the pace –“I’m not really here right now,My mind’s taking me somewhere else,It doesn’t feel the same right now,It …

Track Of The Day – “Titiana’s Lullaby” – Will Gregory

his one caught my ear because of the 60s psychedelic vibe, along with the jazzy feel. Not only that but the timing as to when it came to me made me smile. This is a collaboration with the @thersc ‘s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and thirty years ago this month I was actually in a …

Track Of The Day “Bella” – Crysometimes

This track runs through different elements from beginning to end it was a challenge to figure out where to begin with this review! In any case it caught my ear and it’s pretty damn good really. In the intro, we have we have a synth bringing things up, making it all dreamy, then it’s joined …

Track Of The Day – “I Want You To Stay” – Carol Jarvis

Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …

Track Of The Day: “Queen Of Queens” – Vanity Fairy

On first listen I thought I’d been transported back to 1984 – neon signs, enough hairspray to destroy the ozone layer, and the ubiquitous Linndrum which I’m suspecting I’m hearing here. This has all the makings of a track made in the nerve centre of Prince’s genius, and it’s done so well! All the funk, …

She is a songwriter, arranger & vocalist, and her music transcends generations, while embracing the history and mood of traditional jazz.

Track Of The Day – “High Horse” Lucy Blu

This hits the ground running as a country record, the brushes are out on the drums going at a fair old tempo! The guitars twang, it feels like this song should have been recorded in a prestigious recording in Nashville, but no this is straight out of the UK and it just really does hit …

Track Of The Day: “Hollywood Dream” – Eighty Ninety

This track is a mesh of so many different influences and this is what attracted me tot it. First of all it starts off with a strummed acoustic guitar giving me the impression that it was a country song. That perception changed when the bass came in, I reckon it’s enhanced with a synth too. …
