After the announcement that FatboySlim will be joining the already mind- blowing Bestival line- up, I thought it would only be right to share one of his music videos. There were so many but I went for ‘Right Here Right Now’ quite frankly because it was one of the first to pop into my head; released in 1999 from the album ‘You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby’ it became a massive success reaching No.2 in the UK charts and the [...]
Last time we caught up with The Chancery Lane lads, they were causing chaos and living the rock star lifestyle. Their new EP is a mash up of Rock, R‘n’B and Pop songs, featuring the mosh to track ‘F*ck with my mind,’ the sensitively sung ‘Rocky Road,’ ‘Everybody Knows’ a cheeky yet truthful song about wanting to be famous, ‘Back To Your Love,’ as well as ‘Rockstar Life.’ You’ll love this EP if you’re a fan of Labrinth & Angel [...]
Meet MIDÉ, an Acoustic Soul singer/ songwriter who has been winning critical acclaim for his music but for those of you who aren’t acquainted with the British Musician, let us fill you in. MIDÉ labels his sound as Acoustic Soul and mixes Jazz, Gospel, Indie, Soul and Folk, it’s pretty evident in forthcoming single ‘Mainstream’ that MIDÉ is a relaxed kind of performer, armed with his guitar which he counts as his third arm, MIDÉ’s vocals are soothing and his [...]
What were you doing last Sunday? Fingers crossed whatever it was that it involved the sun, family or friends because mine involved all three. I enjoyed the festivities that Streetfest had to offer and believe me, it was never ending as the day began at 1pm and carried up right until 11pm, with the option to party hard with some Urban Nerds DJ’s. The day itself can only be described as high octane family fun with an urban edge, it [...]
Remember Somore ‘I Refuse (What You Want)?’ Ok well I’ve never heard of Somore but I do recall this 1998 track and now it’s back, bigger, stronger and deeper with the help of DJ S.K.T. Combining my love of House and Garage, it’s a track that sneakily gets you moving, disguising itself as a chill out track but begs to be shuffled to, so get ready to release your inner 90’s and enjoy! You can download ‘I Refuse (What You [...]
“Westside till I die go the lyrics” of ‘Westside’ and at the age of 10 you could just tell I was a bad b*tch when I bought TQ’s ‘Westside’ collectively with my older sister… and it was the first single I ever bought, surprisingly not a Spice Girls song. But what do we know of this crooning bad boy? His most famous hit was released in 1998 from his album ‘They Never Saw Me Coming,’ it was the lead single [...]
LoveDough is fast becoming one of Camden’s stand out events, what with their mix of chart topping artists and lesser known performers, with a crowd of devoted music heads and a mix of the music industry’s finest. This week brings British producer and DJ Jakwob to town but if you’re not familiar with him latest release ‘Fade’ might ring a bell and a typical set from Jakwob welcomes hip hop, dub step, drum and bass and electronic. A rising star [...]
Ermmm I’m not after a baby, yeah sure one of my best friend’s gave birth over the weekend but there are far too many music events to attend and too many blogs that won’t write themselves. Instead I want more hours in the day, shorter working weeks and music blared throughout the streets as the sun shines brightly, because let’s face it the world is more smiley and happier when we’re listening to our favourite tracks. I’ve chosen Ace of [...]
It’s finally May and you know what that means? It means warmer climates, it being completely acceptable to go for beer garden drinks after work every day and most importantly it means another Bank Holiday is on the horizon. Now I don’t know about you but every Bank Holiday my head is crowded with a million different events to go to and this May Merry could easily have been the same had it not been for Streetfest. I’ve been waiting [...]
A mix of pop, the blues, soul and jazz/folk, Georgia Thursting seems to have the kind of voice that lends itself to any music genre. ‘Love Him Like Me’ is the stand out track for me but like I just said, Georgia can sing anything and after hearing her cover of AlunaGeorge’s ‘You Know You Like,’ dare I say that she sings it ten times better than the original. At only 19 years her talent know no bounds and as [...]
In recent light of Daft Punk’s newest track ‘Get Lucky’ featuring Pharrell Williams, I thought it would be daft not to bring you a classic of theirs on yet another Throwback Thursday. I had two stand- out tracks in my head but ‘Around The World’ beat ‘One More Time’ to the finish line, this was due to the fact that me and my older sister adored the music video, and that we would momentarily jump up from the living room [...]
They will be no brighty whitey’s and nothing too garish if you want to turn on 22 year old singer Sebastian Blake because as the song so blatantly reveals it’s red underwear that’s doing it for the guitarist hailing from Brighton. Be warned that the original video could get you a little hot under the collars, so instead of stripping back on the clothing, may I bring you a more stripped back performance of ‘Red Undwear.’ Clashing Pop, Rock [...]
It’s only been the last year or so that I’ve become accustomed to the world of Spoken Word and I’m starting to think that it’s the new Rap; the biggest difference being of the melodic flow. Suli Breaks brings up an important issue with his new video ‘I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate,’ and it makes me laugh to myself because after being the first person in my family to graduate, I question whether University was [...]
This week I decided to write about an Ashanti track after hearing that Ja Rule and Ashanti were two artist’s that Choice FM listeners urged to come back into our lives. Firstly I pondered that I should probably pick Ja Rule and Ashanti song ‘Always On Time,‘ but then I decided I wanted to focus on Ashanti as she had a bigger impact on me musically. After this problematic start, I then had to decide which album I wanted to pick from and [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the theatre, in fact the last time I went was around four years ago when I saw Wicked. Oliva Tweest couldn’t be further away from the Wizard Of Oz, set in 2013 we followed the life of a young African lad who has an eye for the ladies, well it can’t be helped when the ladies are falling at their feet over him. The musical was based around D’Banj’s ‘Oliver Twist’ hit [...]
When I was first approached about an Afrobeats musical I smiled incessantly; not only is the music genre taking off in the UK music industry but now we have the pleasure to see it on stage! You may be wondering why it’s called Oliva Tweest but rest assured it’s not some crazy African homage to Andrew Loyd Webber’s Oliver Twist, instead the musical headed to Lyric Theatre this Monday 18th April and for the foreseeable future is based around the [...]
I don’t know if I have Ultrabeat’s ‘Pretty Green Eyes’ to blame for my love of green eyes but they are mesmerizing just like this song. Did you know that Utrabeat covered this former Dance track? Force & Styles ft Junior brought ‘Pretty Green Eyes’ to the happy hardcore club scene in 1996/1997 but with it’s dated vocals, harmonies and trippy beats, that version was seriously lacking for me. Instead Ultrabeat climbed mainstream heights reaching No2 in [...]
Without hesitation I knew that Cynikal’s return track ‘Take Off’ was going to uplift and evoke me, so lend us your ears and allow us to show you why. We’re introduced to this musical master piece with sounds of a soothing shore as the beat winds in and a contradicting alarm clocks erupts… Is this our wake up call? The track comes after a memorable 2012 that saw East London rapper and producer Cynikal perform at the [...]
