Songwriter
Once again, Sid Hagan and friends excel themselves. Poetic, powerful, all-consuming – the kind of song that begs for you to just drive and drive as the music rains down. Beautiful, heartbreaking, genuine.
Organic by nature, somewhat raw in its live-style delivery, A Different View cements the TJ Doyle style of thoughtful songwriting and recognisable performance with ease.
There’s solace and escapism in poetry and writing past and present, and Alex celebrates precisely this throughout the catchy and wonderfully heartfelt single and video.
“You are beautiful, baby girl. Just the way you are. You were born beautiful and you still are beautiful. “
Immediately inviting with its poetic and intimate vocal introduction – Trey Connor inspires and calms the soul with his beautifully contemplative, imagery-laden and optimistic We’ll Be Alright.
West Ingston keeps things musically fresh and conceptually pure, as a poetic and moving Bone Apple Tea relays the ache of toxicity in love.
Dark poetry and emo-rock vocals seductively blend the contemporary scene’s tone with a strangely captivating lyrical backbone – Neil Stevenson’s debut EP seeks out beauty in times of struggle
Driving with pop-rock sensibilities and smooth, softly expressive vocals, there’s a refreshingly clean mix to the track, and a clear strength of songwriting that shines with increasing brightness throughout.
These songs promise connection and escapism all at once, and that’s the strength of the writing – whether a full band set-up or just a man and his guitar, the message is clear, and the music works its magic.
Stylish from the outside, deeply revealing and honest underneath this, recognisable in voice both through the tone and the very sentiments of the writing – I Don’t Need stands out well.
Singer and songwriter Kelsie Kimberlin takes things back to the bare essentials with this heartfelt, piano-led pop single of personal depth and infectious melodic progression.
