Rosie is back with the opening track from her upcoming album “Featherweight”, it switches gears well – going from Latin-jazz flavour to distorted riffs – I’ve been a big fan for a long time. Her voice is as strong as ever, my favourite part is at 1:20 nice bit of guitar playing but then there’s …
Single Review: “Finally Alive” – Edsun
Track Of The Day “Finally Alive” @edsunmusic This starts off as what I thought would be a retro disco track, especially with that piano and the bass drop.. but then it kicks into something funky, loving the muted guitar on this… watch out for the drum rolls because that’s where it changes up into a …
Blog interview: Giselle And Erik
Congratulations on the release of “Take It All Away.” How does it feel? Thank you! It feels so right to share “Take It All Away” and now, the rest of the “Healing” EP as well. It’s a time capsule for us of an incredibly challenging and life changing season in our lives, and we hope …
Single Review: “Living The Dream” – Ski Lift
Is this a song told from the perspective of a turtle? Possibly, given the first line of the song! “I can feel my head sliding back inside my shell…” and the picture of one of the front cover. Or, it could be a contemplative song of what the writer could be doing instead of their …
Single Review: “Music Is The Drug” – Roleplay
A nice slice of EDM here, but it’s more than just that. There are some lush strings on this, and I love the house piano riff on this. This track puts you in a good mood soon as it starts, and it’s the harmonies in the chorus that whisk you off. What’s the song about? …
Blog interview: Justine Blazer
Hello Justine! How are you? I am doing well! Congratulations on the release of “Joy!” How does it feel? Thank you so much. It feels great. I released this album in July – I decided to do a ‘Christmas in July’ album. It’s a radical idea, but I thought, ‘hey, why not?’ It’s a fun …
Single Review: “Coward” – Kar Stanton
Nice little drum fill to begin this! The pulsing synth bass is a real earworm. I love it. But then it’s joined by a conventional bass which makes me think this is not a bass line as such, but an analogue synth that’s been put through an arpeggiator to give it that feel. Whatever it …
Single Review: “Never Again” – Samica
Chill out track of the day “Never Again” @samicamusic This is a beautiful acoustic number from @samicamusic her vocals are delicate. The finger picking style on the guitar fits perfectly around her vocals and the vocal harmonies around the word “you” really floored me the way it soars and drops effortlessly. There’s a nice electric …
Song Review: “Mayday Mayday” – The Clockworks
The Clockworks are back with a heavy hitting alt rock track, my favourite on their new album so far. Big guitars! Big drums! Big vocals! This song is about the world we live in now, I’m assuming that it’s alluding to the cost of living crisis, because there’s references to money, and lack of it …
