Hello Gizelle, how are you? I’m pretty ok, thanks. All the better for it finally looking like British Summertime! Congratulations on the release of your new album. How does it feel? Thank you! A lifetime of things have happened since we finished recording, and yet it feels like I blinked and missed it all. I’m …
Blog interview: Louis Baker
Congratulations on the release of “Brighter Day”, how does it feel? Thanks! It feels really good. Releasing your original music to the world is somewhat of a relief – You don’t have to think about every little diligent detail anymore. It has been set free. It has an interesting backstory, what’s the inspiration behind it? …

Single Review: “I Need A Holiday” – Alba
Alba is back with a summery track this is so chilled….starting off with an old school analogue drum machine, it’s not an 808, but it’s definitely one I need in my collection, it’s pleasing to the ear. The piano being played over the top and bass are played smoothly, this is a collaboration with someone …
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 …
Gizelle Smith releases “Revealing”
Not many people can drop a cover of a Kate Bush song and get away with it. Kate Bush is in my mind under the listing of sacred text just for the sheer beauty of her songs. If you cover it you’d better cover it good. With this in mind, this is how Gizelle Smith …
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 …
