Albums
Eleven original tracks, soaked in classic soul and blending organic instrumentation with a fresh contemporary writing style – what’s not to love?
The choice of instruments and production make this a timeless collection – and it’s a joyful listening experience, with a vibrant, beating heart that welcomes you in and has reserved you a seat by the fire.
Utterly unconfined by genre, driven by a sheer need to write and perform, Madame Z combines elements of trip hop, soul and electronica to lead with an essentially alternative approach to modern pop.
Impressive, intimate and infectious songwriting meets with superb production and blissfully soulful, expressive performances throughout this immersive new album from Gobiyond.

What we have here is a confident band whose confidence is well-founded – as it understands that dynamics keep a show interesting. Live albums can be tough to review, but this was easy – easy to get and easy to recommend. So do check it out.

Hitting the scene with style and a notably considerate yet contemporary debut album, KingTrey blends gritty, hard-hitting vocals, with haunting, hypnotic soundscapes, and an unwavering level of energy – often to the point of leaving you breathless.

Mainly instrumental, then, and a love letter to the employment of adding reverb to sound, this album represents huge trips of introspection and simple melodic and tonal exploration – marking it out as something of a one-off. The fact that it all kind of hangs together as one concept is surprising, but it definitely does.
Stylishly blending conceptual depth, a brilliant use of melodic soundscape development, and vocals that lean towards classic hip hop, the band offer blissful escapism, engaging rhythms, and fast-paced, endless bars – the likes of which captivate in a genuinely new and exciting way.
