“Endeavouring so desperately, I often wish that I could be, set free, but just a second of some revelry, reminds me why I, never want to leave.” On a lazy Sunday morning, I love music that makes me think. Actually, I love music that makes me think full stop but it’s even better when I can truly focus on it. As I’m sat here typing, I’m listening to ‘Where Did You Go’ – Shea and I can feel the music [...]
After bucketing water out of my tent with mugs I’d bought to drink tea with at one of last years festivals, I decided enough was enough. I agree that roughing it makes you appreciate it when you get to stay in a hotel where you use the mugs to actually drink tea from, but my time was now spent. Fast forward to an early morning eyes so sore you can hardly see flight to The States. Touch down, Texas. Every [...]
Paloma Faith is an icon. Whatever your take on contemporary music is, there’s no denying that she’s up there with artists such as Jake Bugg, Frank Turner and Plan B. A part of a new generation sent to change the way we view the world via the medium of music. Her journey through the music industry has been a tough one but one she has completely worked for. In turn, she’s bringing with her a message regarding work ethic, passion [...]
The May Bank Holiday seems like ages away right now and while I know the majority of you are preparing for festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, V Festival and Isle of Wight, I think it’s time we all took a little sit down and paid attention to the madness that is the Evolution Festival line-up;- Paloma Faith The Vaccines Jake Bugg Ellie Goulding Rudimental Sub Focus Modestep Bastille AlunaGeorge The Strypes Lethal Bizzle Dismantle Understand why I said [...]
You know those moments that give you goosebumps from the moment they begin to every time you remember them, ten years later? Where you’re so taken aback by your surroundings and the situation you’ve found yourself in that you can’t possibly fathom a world without that moment, ever again? They don’t happen often but when they do, your Universe is never quite the same? I know you know what I’m on about… Well, back in December last year, I saw [...]
It’s no secret that I’m completely in love with Paloma Faith…wait, not in a weird ‘I want her face tattooed on me’ kind of way, but I admire her refusal to conform, her honesty and her music. In a world where so many artists are suffocated by the rules of the industry, I find that this East London lady is a breath of a fresh air in a universe overcome with pollution. That’s why, when she released her second album [...]
Before Paloma’s hair reached massive heights and she found fame, she once recorded this Christmas song with Josh Weller in front of a really bad backdrop. I’m still massively confused as to why this song hasn’t found airplay on the radio stations yet as in my opinion, it really is truly Christmas summed up in the best way possible. It’s feisty, funny and I’m 100% certain that everybody reading this who has been in a long term relationship around the [...]
Isle of Wight Festival has announced even more acts to join their already impressive line-up for 2013. Current acts include the recent award-winning Jake Bugg, The Script, Bloc Party, Blondie, The Maccabees, Ellie Goulding and more. There are still plenty more acts to be announced and Isle of Wight Festival is fast shaping up to be a must-attend festival for 2013 - so get your tickets early. Also returning to the festival, Paloma Faith has voiced her excitement, “so excited to return [...]
T In The Park have joined in the festival announcement extravaganza and have gone to town to celebrate 2013 being their 20th anniversary year. Headlining the event will be Mumford & Sons and Rihanna. Fellow acts confirmed so far include The Script, Of Monsters and Men, Paloma Faith, Alt J and Jake Bugg. The festival is still to announce its third headliner, but I imagine it will be an absolute whopper to make sure their 20th anniversary goes down out with [...]
I’m a huge believer in the phrase, “music can change the world because it can change people”. I’ve been at gigs where I’ve literally seen the attitude of the crowd change within minutes of a particular song being played, I’ve listened to albums that have made me reassess everything I’m about as an individual and I’ve met people so dedicated to a particular band or artist that their whole life revolves around them. I’m taking it to the extreme with the [...]
Fresh off stage from her album launch party, I caught up with Josephine about her eight year wait to finally release her debut album Portrait. You said during your set tonight that it was a huge relief to finally have your album released, has it been a long time coming? “Yeah [laughs] incredibly long! I think most artists have this, especially on the first album, it takes the longest time, from when you start from performing, to gigs and then recording. I [...]
The BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge has always held a special place in my heart from the early days with Jo Whiley to today’s sessions with Fearne Cotton, it has never failed to leave the listener in awe. Taking some of the most current and influential artists, from a range of genres, stripping them of the usual glitz and glamour production down to their bare essentials and letting the audience hear their raw and amazing talent first-hand. So with such high [...]
Just when it seemed there was little room for another female vocalist on the UK music scene, Natalie Duncan comes along and proves there’s always enough room for talent. Accompanied by a sinister, yet beautifully directed, video, ‘Find Me A Home’ comes from Natalie’s debut album Devil In Me which is available to buy RIGHT NOW. What with artists like Adele, Paloma Faith and Ellie Goulding flying the flag for UK female vocalists, it’s hard to stand out in an industry so [...]
Proving that the girls are really doing it for themselves, yet another talented artist has been brought to my attention: Miriam Bryant shares similarities to Duffy, The Noisettes and Paloma Faith but there’s no denying that she’s paving her own path through the music industry. Powerful and feisty, ‘Finders Keepers’ sums up exactly what it’s like to finally be able to say you’re over somebody and that feeling of relief you’re engulfed with when you can actually say “I’m over you”: [...]
Once in a while, you’re going to come across someone who will shake up your entire world; they won’t stop this motion until every single fibre of your being has been touched. It’s not a pretty sight: you’ll probably cry a lot, lose sleep and your appetite will be a thing of the past. You might even take up smoking. But it’s worth it. This person will change your entire lifestyle until you’re struggling to remember how you coped without [...]
I’ll happily admit that when it comes to music, Paloma Faith is easily one of my favourite artists. It could be down to the fact I think that, along with Adele and Brian May, she has the greatest hair in music or the fact that when she’s not singing, she’s throwing her Cockney accent about like she’s just spent the afternoon at the bookies or drinking shandy in the local pub BUT there’s a large chance it could also be [...]
If any of you are as excited about Ms. Faith’s 2nd studio album hitting the shelves on May 28th, I’m hoping you’ll be as excited about the release of the video for her new single ‘Picking up the Pieces’. I can’t get enough of it; I love the story, Paloma’s hair colour and how gorgeous the leading male is. This is definitely the year for Paloma Faith.

“When I was born, they thought I was screaming but if they’d listened real careful, they would have heard it was a high C” Chatting to Miss Baby Sol is like chatting to a friend you’ve known for years. Her smile is infectious, her view towards life is nothing but positive and she’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever come across. She’s also ridiculously talented when it comes to music and unlike many out there, she’s all for putting [...]
