Something about this song just gives me goosebumps. The acoustic guitar that starts this off has a touch of reverb on it, giving it that spatial feel… it plays a simple progression but then Aisha’s voice joins it with muted drums… and what a voice. She whispers through this and gives you such warmth in …
Alice Offley is back with a funky disco track that’s got that summer energy, as the days are getting longer and sunnier this is the tonic that we need. The guitar riff is reminiscent of 80s pop, but Alice brings the bass action making it just as funky – this being her instrument it’s no …
Florie Namir is back with a stunning ballad and a duet partner – Franck Niyong. Their voices are very different, Frank has a soulful touch whereas Florie’s vocals are suited to folk/jazz but they find a middle ground, and this song is a perfect vehicle for this. It’s an acoustic number, the percussion is gorgeous, …
This is a gorgeous ballad. Marie’s voice is accompanied by a cello, drums with brushes, a bass, and piano. This is from her album “Mná”, and is one of the slower paced tracks on there. It shows off her vulnerability vocal wise but also shows her versatility too. In fact the whole album is very …
Daniel came to me as a recommendation from Neil March, Daniel sent me this track for my show and I must say… I’m impressed. This song combines two of Daniel’s passions – music and fine art, as he is an art historian by day and musician by night. The imagery in the lyrics are clear, …
Joe Adhemar has released a new album. Let’s break it down shall we? “The Synesthete” available on Bandcamp Found Out This is a great track to kick off the album with, very bluesy, I like the way vocals have a slight delay to it, the main guitar riff has chromatic notes in there, and …
This song is pure genius! From top to bottom, the intro gives us chugging guitars, promising indie rock goodness and boy do they deliver… There are sections of this song that give me pure joy, the intro like I mentioned, and also the fact the drummer gets given their moment to shine from 2:12 with …
Having been a fan of Brave James since the release of their fantastic track “Spaceships”, it came as no surprise that collaboration with one of my favourite production teams was definitely going to be special. This is a slower paced track, starting off with percussion and marimbas and it’s gorgeous. The track as a whole …
A bit of bluesy country in the playlist! I’m not sure whether I want to line dance or do the dosie doh, but it’s a bit of a jolly tune, and I love the fiddle playing. The double bass is up there keeping time too, and it sounds like they’re having a jolly old time …
First of all, I’d like to say I’m very proud of Lexie Caroll, she’s achieved a WHOLE lot over the last year – one of which is getting her music featured on Love Island. This is her newest single and, as usual, it’s stunning. The lyrics draw you in immediately. “I don’t know what happened …
