This is a cover of the Natalie Umbruglia song…What do I think? Honestly? Bloody brilliant. This is the kind of song that you close out your show with because a lot of people will know it already and will go home singing it happily because their hearts are full! The arrangement sticks faithfully to the …
Single Review: “Somewhere In Between” – Feds
This has such a smooth jazz feel to it.. the groove is trippy, and that’s the thing I like about it, Feds, comes in with a total buttery vocal and I like it, she’s having fun on this and I appreciate that… “Let’s take this day by day, don’t wanna say the words that I’ve …
Blog interview: Gitika Partington, 3 Bucket Jones
Congratulations on the release of “Catch My Breath”, how does it feel? It is lovely, as the success of finishing it is the best! I find releases a bit like Christmases as a child. The build-up is tantalising, then the actual day can be a bit of a let-down. I am easily disappointed and …
Single Review: “Butterflies” – Sophie Dorsten
Sophie Dorsten is back with a gorgeous new single, “Butterflies” and changes gear slightly with this. For one thing, it’s a little more bluesy in my ears to her previous tracks and has a little more soul. One thing I’ve always liked about Sophie is that she doesn’t compromise with her lyrics. This is no …

Single Review: “Silver Lining” – KADI
This track starts out acappella, then keyboards, come in to accompany Kadi’s voice. And what a voice. Kadi sings with an uplifting powerful authority, you’re being taken on a journey here, and I’m here for it. The chorus says “Oh there’s a silver lining trust the timing even when you’re shutting me down”, and it …
Single Review: “Kurunba” – Rokia Kone and Jacknife Lee
This track is… fascinating. Four on the floor, percussion, and call and response vocals that command you to sing along. All based around a tribal dance beat that makes you want to… Well… Quite frankly… GET DOWN! I love it, it’s not your run of the mill dance track, and it doesn’t try to be, …
