This song is just gorgeous. With a line up change and the addition of Sherry Sahayaraj, The Music Of Sound keep their melodic flavours going but with a slight spice in flavour. Let’s talk about the instruments first. It’s a simple arrangement, bass keeping the groove along with the drums with a slight variation in …
Single Review: “Do-Re-Mi” – Julie Andrews
This has got to be an ear worm for the ages. Anyone who’s seen “The Sound Of Music” will know this straight away. In honour of Dame Julie Andrews’ 89th birthday on 1st October I thought I’d choose this as my track of the day. The melody is so simple, and it’s a great way …
Single Review: “High Horse (Be Gone)” – Rikke
This track has an off kilter beat and that’s what caught my attention initially! The drum intro, then a funny little bass run coupled up with a muted guitar played an octave up gives you a modern jazz feel with a little bit of pop in there too. This is a slick bit of production …
Single Review: “Lose Yourself To Dance” – Daft Punk
Today is the birthday of one of my biggest musical influences Nile Rodgers. When a Chic record comes on you can’t help but smile. I could even go as far as to say to say you’re going to dance. When I need to get my day started right, “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie has to …
Single Review: “Dynasty” – Jenna Pemkowski
What struck me about this track is how quickly it changed within its 3:32 length. It starts off with a fast paced kick drum giving me the impression that it was going to be a bit of a rock track. But then it settles into a steady rhythm based around a snare, kick and high …
Single Review: “Why Can’t I Wake Up With You?” – Take That
Today is the Mercury Music Awards and they are being hosted at @abbeyroadstudios @freshonthenet asked a question on his fabulous #nowplaying show on @bbc6music – what album in the past got nominated but never won? Naturally there are so many, but one I didn’t realise was nominated when looking for my favourite was Take That’s …
Single Review: “No Future” – The Great Leslie
The Great Leslie are back with a track that’s an absolute stomper! Big rock drums that swing on the toms, big vocals, big crunchy guitars… well what do you expect from the great Leslie? A lot and then some. This is a message with several layers – let’s start with the cover – a picture …
Single Review: “Live Forever” – Oasis
So. Oasis are back. No-one thought it would happen, not in this lifetime. If Guns n’ Roses can bury the hatchet (Not in each other’s heads…) then maybe there was hope for Oasis yet. Oasis was a huge part of the 1990’s Manchester music scene carrying on a long tradition of great music coming out …

Single Review: “World Happy” – Michelle Ward
Michelle Ward is back with a new single “World Happy” – I played it on my show and I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s an indie pop tune heavy on the pop elements – catchy melody that brings sunshine – lyrics that get to the point – the world needs more happiness.First verse: God’s …
