“I’m okay with it because I know that it’s relatable. I’m not the only person who has dealt with this scenario. I’ve always been pretty open about who I am, but never really on this level.”
An anthem to empower and energize, Yes She Will is a pop single with a mighty build-up to a drop that ultimately rains down with strength and secure intention.
This is undoubtedly a song to be experienced at volume. There’s an Empire of The Sun vibe on occasion, a slight hint of Brandon Flowers in the lead vocal, and a generally energizing, uplifting fusion of organic musicality and immersive EDM right the way through.
That opening drop from the instrumental into the spacious vocal verse is gorgeously seductive – that dance-hall melody engages and calms, and as the song progresses it evolves with impeccable skill and emotion; building around you a far more complex and consistently captivating journey.
Fresh from their recent and well-loved appearance on Season 15 of The Voice, married duo Adam and Jerome Bell-Bastien – OneUp Duo – emerge with a beautifully heartfelt, passionate and melodically entrancing Christmas ballad.
Telling the story of divers watches under the sea, Island Of Tears fuses a reggae rhythm with a chorus of voices and flickers of distorted electric guitar.
Though the vast majority of the lyrics deal with regret and negative reflections on life, what really lingers with you is the simplicity of that line about hope – the lasting image of you (hopefully) opening your door. The song leaves you wondering, but it also leaves you with an air of optimism.
Andon and Opensoul collaborate to bring an entrancing bounce of a beat and some bright, energizing melodies on this latest single.
The trick here is the multitude of vocal and brass hooks over a relentless rhythm that just won’t quit. Appealing female vocals and a smart and sassy beat make for a compelling listen.
The whole thing is subtly powerful, entrancing for its sense of space and colour, and the heavy contrast between that and the tiredness and melancholy in the lyrics.
Celebrating all manner of aspects from gratitude to relationships to overcoming or learning from mistakes, this EP in full showcases a talented and versatile artist and songwriter, as well as offers a playlist that’s beautifully heartfelt, eclectic, and deeply human.
