Track Of The Day: “Grippy Socks Jail” – Court Lee

This is trippy. I like trippy.  This song is not what you probably think it’s about, but if you think it’s about a hospital stay then you’re probably right. This song is very short coming in at 1:06 but within that 1 minute and six seconds we are taught about what happens in a hospital …

Interview: Michael Rudd

Congratulations on the release of Ways Of The World, how does it feel?

Its origin story is quite …

Track Of The Day: “Can We Make It Real?” – Manny Norte X Ayanna

This is a new one from Manny Norte and Ayanna, and it slaps. This is based around an afrobeat groove, and it’s smooth, you can tell they cooked it up for the summer because it gets you dancing immedately even if your’e not in the mood.  What caught my attention was the Neo soul chord …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …

Single Review: “Blame It On Blue” – Riley Way

@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 …

Track Of The Day: “Total Praise” – Richard Smallwood

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 …

Review: “Until The House Falls” – Benjamin Dean Wilson. Words: Sammy Stein

Benjamin Dean Wilson is a songwriter, composer, and filmmaker from Tulsa, Oklahoma, currently residing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 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. Wilson initially devoted most of his …

Track Of The Day – “Gut Punch” – Nick Jonas

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 …
