Nyla Sings – Focus This is a gorgeous acoustic number! WOW. Nyla’s voice comes in giving the whole song warmth, over a bed of acoustic guitar, finger snaps, 808 drums and synth bass. The beat stutters nicely skipping little bits here and there which makes it pleasing to the ear. Thing is though…. It’s short …
BRAVE JAMES is back with a new track featuring a singer songwriter that I love and respect, Oli Rockberger. And they deliver! Whereas the last single was a collaboration with with Blue Lab Beats and had a more soulful hip hop vibe this is folktronica at its best, catchy ethereal melodies with dreamy synths, the …
Hello NX Panther how are you? Hi Del I’m really well thank you, how are you? The weather really switched up today didn’t it! I’m good! Thanks for asking! Congratulations on the release of “Home” how does it feel? Thank you so much, especially for playing it first on your show last week. …
This tune… Morena comes out all cylinders firing with a fine vocal over drums made up 808 sounds, and analogue synth parts. This is the kind of tune you can easily get down to. Morena delivers a playful vocal, which sits right on top of the instrumental, and you can tell she had fun while …
This song comes with such a gentle Afro beat flavour that took me back to the mother land. Sharyn dropped a gospel flavour that fuses beautiful harmonies with a beat that has percussion doing most of the work, but with the occasional 808 dropping a kick here and there. But this is not about the …
This song literally embodies all that’s wrong with modern dating in the 21st Century, lyrically referencing how some people have pictures taken with people that they claim to be their sister, all the dating cliches like photos of you in the gym, and not taking yourself too seriously. In the hell that’s the online dating …
I like the ethereal reverb vocal intro to this, it makes a very pleasant surprise when the actual lead kicks in a little bit later. The drums are hard hitting, I like the fact it’s not a conventional snare, it has a bit of an industrial thud to it, and it sits well with everything …
Hello SAFIRE how are you? I’m great! Apparently I don’t sleep anymore but that’s just from excitement for everything coming up this year so I’m not complaining! Congratulations on the release of “Angels And Demons”, how does it feel? Thank you! Angels & Demons was received really well. I don’t often sing on …
This. Is. Bloody. Brilliant. This song is a commentary on life in the 21st century – specifically with one of the world’s richest men having enough wealth and influence to be able to make a difference. Lyrically this references climate change, the rise of AI technology, fake news, countries tweeting other countries, and of course …
Survibers are back and they’ve deployed a true wordsmith in Aniff Akinola. He’s given a fantastic backdrop of slap bass which slips between that and a squelchy synth bass, over a chilled out hip hop beat with a synth pad playing some dark progressions. The vocals are ethereal, Katrina has switched gears here as she’s …
