Sofia Lafuente Releases Her Highly Anticipated New Single, ‘Good Intentions’, And Chats To EP About What Inspires Her.

October 29, 2021

Sofia Lafuente’s name translates as ‘the fountain’ and it seems that she’s at a point in her artistic life where her music is flowing in a very powerful way. Out on all platforms, her stunning new single ‘Good Intentions’ is certainly more introspective than her debut EP ‘Control’. It marks a new direction sonically for this talented multi-faceted artist as she sings in her native Spanish for the first time and this track really does serve to illustrate her ability to tell a story and bring it to life in a dramatically relatable way.

Nicki Nicole Releases ‘Parte De Mi’, An Album That Will Make You Rethink The Way You Consume Music

October 29, 2021

One of my favourite artists is Zucchero and I understand virtually no Italian but love the songs. To stop listening to the words is like losing one of our senses in that it heightens the others; suddenly we are not listening to the words but to the emotion, the tone of the voice, the way the words are delivered. This could not be more apparent than in today’s release from Latin sensation Nicki Nicole.

Dave Vargo Releases ‘Fault Lines’, The Second Single From His Forthcoming Album.

October 27, 2021

Dave Vargo graduated from one of the most prestigious musical institutions in the world. Coming away from Berklee College of Music in Boston with honours is an outstanding accomplishment. Just spend a second looking at the famous graduates of this incredible college and you will see what I mean. This set the artist up as a touring performer and session player who went on to perform with the likes of Whitney Houston and Vonda Shepard, to name a couple, before starting to play solo.

US Pop Sensation Nadine Releases New Single ‘Missed Call’ Today And Chatted With EP.

October 22, 2021

Nadine Bloch, known professionally as Nadine, is set to release her third single today. ‘Missed Call’ follows on from the excellent ‘My Way’ and ‘Three’ which both showcase the diversity and quality of this artist. Having graduated from the prestigious popular music program at USC, where she added to her already outstanding natural ability developed from the age of 5 in musical theatre, Nadine has hit the ground running with the high quality of her output. ‘Missed Call’ is a further development along the path of musical female empowerment; it’s very clear that Nadine self-empowers with her lyricism as she writes very definitely from the perspective of a young modern woman, but the music is also hugely empowering to the listener whatever the age or gender.

Katelyn Tarver Chats About Last Single ‘Nicer’ And Announces New Single Release ‘Hurt Like That’ Out On October 21 Before Album ‘Subject to Change’ Drops In November.

October 15, 2021

Katelyn Tarver has a new song out next week but I was lucky enough to get the chance to chat with her about her last release, ‘Nicer’, a song that reflects on the people pleasing tendencies that we all have sometimes and which has become almost an epidemic of non-confrontation leading us to bottle up all that angst.

Ida Laurberg Releases The Brilliant ‘Personal Letters’ Today, October 8th And Fans Of Billie Eilish Are Gonna Love It!

October 8, 2021

Ida Laurberg created a real buzz when she released ‘Puppy Dog Eyes’ and it went viral, amassing nearly 40 million streams. That self-released debut single really set the scene for her melancholic but powerful voice. She followed that 2016 release with a critically acclaimed EP called ‘Phase Five’ which cemented her place as an important young female voice of Denmark. However, she is now signed to a major label and, today, is releasing the stunning ‘Personal Letters’.

October 4, 2021

UK Country music is simply going from strength to strength. So much more than ever we are seeing high quality releases and exciting collaborations all the time. One of the shining new stars of the genre is Jeorgia Rose who released her first single ‘I Will Still Remember’ in late 2020 to critical acclaim with the likes of Maverick Magazine, CountryLine TV and Matt Spracklen from Country Hits Radio queueing up to support the release.

Eyjaa Release Exciting The Follow Up To Their Debut Single With The Highly Anticipated ‘The Wrecking Crew’

October 2, 2021

There is a kind of vocal understanding that is born rather than trained. The sisters, born in separate countries, are the two halves of Danish Icelandic duo Eyjaa and their brilliant new single ‘The Wrecking Crew’ proves that in bucket loads. As a follow up to one of my favourite debut singles ‘Don’t Forget About Me’, the new song is at first listen pure pop but woven into the intricate strands of the musical cloth there is folk and country vibes that add a real depth to the listening experience.
