Fresh Faves: Batch 618

updated on Leave a Comment on Fresh Faves: Batch 618

EDBL, ADY SULEIMAN & DAN WHITLAM – When You Were Mine edbl · When You Were Mine (feat. Dan Whitlam) EDBL is back in the building and suitably kicks things off with a track that’s nice and sparse – bass, guitars, vocals and drums. The bass has a dubby feel to it making it cross …

Album Review: “Here Because Of Hope” – Ezra Collective

updated on Leave a Comment on Album Review: “Here Because Of Hope” – Ezra Collective

Ezra Collective dropped a new album! Let’s go. This is how the album opens up, and it’s read beautifully by Letitcia Wright – yep. Black Panther herself.  She approaches the reading with gravity and reverence, and why not? Imagine someone like Sir Ian McKellen or Dame Judi Dench doing a reading? She’s giving it emotion …

As we cling on the last strands of the summer this track is pretty apt, it’s a chilled reggae track featuring the late great reggae legend Lee Scratch Perry, this is dipped in spicy flavours with the dub feel to it, the bass rumbles through you and you hear Lee whisper a simple line:Singers and …

Single Review: “(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike” – Dan Whitehouse X Jasmine Gardosi

updated on

Well, this is quite a mixture! This combines spoken word, with indie rock sensibilities but then you’ve got a spoken word element too and a little bit of hip hop too. This is a track that has an infectious hook, and it caught my attention immediately, it’s almost like a self help tape wrapped up …

Single Review: “Who We Are” – Ngaio

on

This track combines a strong soulful vocal over a fantastic dance beat that sounds exotic, I love the build up to the hook on this, the bass line is hypnotic, and the percussion wanders in and out. But when it gets going you have a song that really is anthemic, I mean it’s a call …
