@riley.wayy is my one to watch for many reasons. First and foremost she’s a singer songwriter who is able to pack a punch with her songs, and this is illustrated beautifully in this song, it’s an acoustic led track with all the right ingredients – a catchy melody, a middle 8 and an outro that will …
We lost a gospel music giant Richard Smallwood on on 30th December 2025. I first came across this track in the early 2000s when I joined a choir called Many Rivers, through a chance encounter with someone I met while working in King’s Road. I joined as a singer not a keyboard player so I …

With his mixture of sardonic humor and retro pop sensibilities, Wilson has drawn comparisons to Ray Davies and Randy Newman, yet his songs are firmly at home in the 21st century.

This track has caused quite a stir on its release, I went through the usual socials on the 1st January to find what’s going on and Jonas fans everywhere have really got behind this one, and with good reason. This is a pop rock track with much of the energy packed in the vocals, which …

Congratulations on the release of Humanity- how does it feel? It feels like letting a secret out into the world – a beautiful secret we’ve been patiently nurturing. We’ve been performing some of these songs live for a while, so finally being able to share the studio versions feels like opening a bottle that’s been …
Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …
I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years. This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and …
Hello Mary how are you? I am great, thank you! Congratulations on the release of The Poison I Choose how does it feel? It has been surreal, I have been working towards this release for some time now. Having the album out everywhere has been a dream of mine and I am excited for what’s …
