Music
Brilliant music, refreshing songwriting in a timeless style. A beautiful pair of songs that are well worth knowing about this lock-down – particularly for those who feel so far away from their loved ones.
An interesting hybrid that’s halfway between Panic at the Disco and something much more prog-y, with proper and very grown-up playing, Thinking Clear is an episodic delight, with an awful lot of elements that could easily crossover to please an awful lot of people.
Fantastic songwriting, deeply thoughtful and topically on point, from a band who consistently write classics.
A story-teller with a clear love for music in all of its forms, LUI drives with equal parts melody, rhythm, optimism, creativity, and professionalism.
Effectively transporting listeners back to the days of retro synths, sci-fi sound-play and big beats, Ladonna Rama offers story-telling, scene-setting, and ambient, rhythmic escapism for classic dance and alternative pop fans far and wide.
As the soundscape seduces, the vocal works in unison towards that same goal, and the smooth energy and rhythm of the song, the simple strength of that hook and how memorable it is, all helps make this an addictive little hit that’s all at once refreshing and stylistically comforting.
What begins as a scratch DJ demo of sorts, soon evolves through various details of an industrial soundscape, towards a soulful RnB vocal line and plenty of space for conceptual consideration.
Stylishly blending the bounce of dancehall, with a Sia-inspired build-up and melodic embrace, Anna Cole’s new single Boom Boom Bang is as colourful and addictive as the title promises.
I Can’t Sleep, and Idk Why is everything the title promises and then some. Impressive tunes, realism, emotional honesty, talent. A strong reminder of the skill and passion that exists just beneath the mainstream radar.
Instrumentally raw yet impressive, showcasing the best of the live-band aspect of GREYE, Lucky kicks into gear with the soulful roar of Hannah Summer’s raspy and powerful rock vocal.
Driving with a stylish fusion of mildly distorted, soulful electric guitar, and a heavy, anthemic hip hop chorus, Capo Corleone’s Don’y Play is the alternative and passionate hit that indie hip hop deserves.
