Kingfish is back with another track, a remix of a song from his album “662” – and what a song! Over a sparse beat Kingfish wonders where does the hate come from, along with his signature guitar playing giving the real blues flavour. He sounds fantastic here and he doesn’t let up. The first verse …
Blog interview: Fascination Curve
Congratulations on the release of Corona Time In Amerika, how does it feel? It is a culmination of a lot of different musical genre interests, a lot of different social and political circumstances here in the US and it is the ultimate pandemic production….an album which brought the musicians in the band together at a …
Single Review: “All By Myself” – Alok, Sigala, Ellie Goulding
When I get sent a track by a PR company or record plugger – in this case Cathy from 44Faced (Shout out to Cathy!) I try not to look at the assets straight away. I listen to the track so I can hear the artists without making any judgements – so when I saw that …
EP review: “White Horses” – Art Block
Saviour This starts off very gently. Piano led, with a cello and violins playing the county melody, then acoustic guitar to strum the rhythm, this as an opener as a perfect choice. “You were a precious stone, Now I am all alone, I’m fading, yeah I’m fading.” I like this line. The drums come in …
Single Review: “Rain” – BaggE
Oh wow. The first thing that kicks this off is a glissando down a piano, transporting you back in time with some retro funky flavours… It’s like I ran down a giant piano to be plonked into to the late 1970s…. First off this sounds a bit like EWF without the horns, very much a …

Touray brings with her a depth of experience and understanding of music, honed while working with Lianne La Havas, Liam Gallagher, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, NAO, Cinematic …
Single Review: “Jammin’ Tonight” – Nile Rodgers and Candy Dulfer
This is a BOP!!!!! Wow!!! It starts off all mysterious with a synth build up into a funky James Brown break, then settles into a classy four on the floor beat with Nile and Candy trading off solos between each other on guitar and sax respectively – I absolutely love the vocals on this, fantastically …
Blog interview: Rowetta
You are a singer, how did it all begin for you? I went in for a talent competition at Butlins for a bit of fun and ended up winning. You have been on tour with the Happy Mondays, how was it? Probably the best tour we’ve done, well that I can remember. Most gigs were …
