Fresh Faves: Batch 612

updated on Leave a Comment on Fresh Faves: Batch 612

AROUND ABOUT DUSK- without you Around About Dusk · Without You This has such a World War II era jazz feel to it, none of the gloss that came later on, but the kind you’d expect in the background of a period drama. This could be playing in the background on a grainy gramophone, at …

AZU YUCHE – Weak Azu Yeché · Weak Azu Yeché opens the faves this week with something a little special.. This has the classic soul around it, I’d even go as far as to say this has neo soul vibes – it reminds me of D’Angelo with those guitar licks! Clean tone! Add to that …

Track Of The Day: “Rich Man” – Hapin Usuwo

updated on

Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene! A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading …

Track Of The Day: “Touch By An Angel” – Maxi Priest

updated on

Maxi Priest has landed with a track that goes classic in its style – you have the one drop beat, the horn section the layered harmonies, organ and electric piano rounding it out along with the guitar lick and bassline for you to groove on. This has summer written all over it and Maxi brings …

Single Review: “No Mother” – 10Tigers

updated on

Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio. Wow. This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops …

Track Of The Day: “Colourblind” – Gabrielle Sey

updated on

Lord Gabrielle Sey can sing! This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate. The melody soars through and Gabrielle switches gears in the …

Single Review: “Time Is Overdue” – Alex Tyche

updated on

What I like about this song is its ability to switch from steady paced dance floor banger to a jazzy ballad in the blink of an eye. This starts off with a lovely glassy fender Rhodes, the shakers fade up and then the drum beat comes in at 0:20, giving that Afrobeat vibe. The chord …

Hello Mike how are you? Very well, thank you. Busy!! Congratulations on the release of “Perplexity” how does it feel? It feels amazing! This tune is so authentically up my street, inspired by a combination of a Belize roots rhythm, the melodicism of my Keyboard heroes, Chick Corea and George Duke, and the music of …
