The thing I like about this song is its quirkiness, the intro makes you think it’s a soulful slow jam, but when the beat drops, it’s anything but. What do I mean? Well at around 0:10 a trumpet comes in, and then we get treated to a scratch, straight into the drums, bass, and guitar …

Single Review: “Garden” – Night Porter
This song is gorgeous. The piano part is full of lovely chords… but it’s not this that catches you. It’s the chorus. The oohs and the duetted saxophone, is what caught my ear. This is how I’m introduced gently this sunny morning to the new duo Night Porter. Technically they aren’t new to me, at …
Album Review: “Electric Soul Machine” – The Heavy North.
The Heavy North album just dropped! Let’s do this. The Genie It starts off with feedback to open it up, then drops into a blues jam, nothing less than what you’d expect from this band, it’s very 70s influenced – but what you don’t expect is the muted trumpet solo at around 2:38, it’s absolutely …
Single Review: “Under The Lights” – Bad Money
This new single from one of my favourite acts of the last couple of years is quite frankly refreshing. It’s in the key of A Flat, which is an uplifting key anyway when you hear it, and probably not my choice of key to write in, but then it’s not my song! The vocals really …

Single Review: “Boy In A Box” – BODYWATER
BODY WATER pose the question on their Spotify bio: “Why write about love when you can write about serial killers?” Well, why indeed? This is their debut single and it was on my shortlist as well as being in my Faves, it showed that in two years of being part of the Fresh On The …
