Elles Bailey released, on Friday the 12th of June as stand alone single, 'Back To You', which has featured as a bonus track on the deluxe CD or her recent album, 'Can’t Take My Story Away'. It’s an emotional powerhouse of a single, I can understand why the decision was taken to release it as a single, if it doesn’t generate some serious airplay on radio, I’ll be very surprised. Elles has been steadily building a reputation as a brilliant live performer with a string of succes

Felix Green is a new artist, but his first single got radio play on at least 50 regional radio stations. This is the second single from his forthcoming debut EP. It’s a song about loss and how to cope with it while acknowledging how difficult that is to do. Felix’s vocals are almost soulful but with a hint of a rock rasp in there. The whole thing feels like it’s a highly emotional ride. What works really well is it sounds like both a song about romantic loss and the loss of s

Bleachers have released 'The Van', the third single from their forthcoming fifth studio album 'Everyone For Ten Minutes' which is due to be released on the 22 nd of May.

Just prior to his appearance on the Blues show with Cerys Matthews blue and Americana artist Sunjay released his new single, 'That’s Love', which is a teaser for his new album, which will be his tenth, 'Split the Sheets' due out later this year. It’s a proper slice of blues, country, pop and Americana with an infectious chorus, an almost chaotic feel, lots of quality vocals from Sunjay and his backing singers and the kind of groove that will get you onto a dance floor if this

I have to start this review by confessing this is not my first Family Jools review, I thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve heard before so when I was asked to review their new single, I was absolutely up for it. However, this is a little bit different to their previous music, it’s rockier, it’s got a real groove to it, it’s got a southern rock feel to it, and it’s got anthem written all over it. This is the kind of song that will sound amazing live and should inspire some singing alo

Off the back of their recent UK tour which I was lucky enough to see, DMA’s have released a new single, 'My Baby’s Place'. It’s very summery, very jangly and very melodic. It has a feel of the LA’s about it and also, not surprisingly given my previous statement, a 60’s vibe. It feels like the start of something new and could be a sign the direction they are going in. The DMA’s have a passionate fan base who love a good sing along, this single should add to that cannon of sing
