Declan McKenna is another of those incredibly talented and incredibly young singer songwriters that just make me incredibly jealous! This little track came to my attention via Breaking More Waves blog as he is named as one to watch for 2016. I have to agree as he’s had a pretty successful 2015, after winning the Glastonbury emerging talent contest and then being signed to Colombia Records. … Continue reading Paracetamol
I’ve been hearing this track in Xfm for a few weeks and finally paid attention to what it was. I really need a digital radio where it comes up in your screen. Elle King is daughter of comedian Rob Schneider and model London King. Her music is a mix of county, soul and blues. Just enough blues and soul to take that country edge off. … Continue reading Ex’s and Oh’s
I discovered Jones on Later with Jools Holland where she sung the most beautiful stripped back version of this track. Raised in London by her, not surprisingly, soul loving mum. Despite their electro beats there’s a definite hint of soul in her smooth tracks. Indulge is quite an apt name as this song is quite an indulgence, the whole EP is in fact. Perfect soundtrack … Continue reading Indulge
Quick one today as yesterday I was busy flying to London and today I’m busy with a very exciting little project. I’ll share soon I promise. This is the perfect little mellow track to ease us into the week. Frances is a 21year old, yes another youngster, from Berkshire. Her EP Let It Out is released on 16th October and I just love this track. … Continue reading I Care
Eve Belle is a 17year old singer/songwriter from Donegal. She released this track back in May but it only came to my attention last Sunday. Late to the party with this one, though in my defence the video is new. What a beautiful track to come across on a lazy Sunday morning though. Obviously I instantly had a wee search on Apple Music and to … Continue reading Too Young to Feel this Old
It’s not often I feature an artist twice on new music Monday, this is a first in fact. The new Lion Babe song is too good to ignore, impossible in fact. If I thought this duo were cool last year when I featured Jump Hi, in the meantime they have only got cooler. Check out this video for a start, Beyoncé eat your heart out. This … Continue reading Impossible
In Scotland we don’t appear to be getting a summer this year, so all the sunshine filled holiday tracks on the radio are getting a starting to grate just a little. Then I came across this beautiful little track from Hazel English, apparantly not her real name nor is she English. There’s lots of chat of how this is full of summer and beachy vibes. … Continue reading It’s Not Real
Elderbrook or Alex Kotz, has been floating around for a while. I spied him in quite a few ones to watch for 2015 and I very nearly featured him myself. He’s been a little bit quiet this year but popped up again in the last few weeks with this almost new track. You must know by now I love a handclap, fingerclick or tapping foot … Continue reading Going
I know my Music Monday’s have been severely lacking recently, in fact non exsistent. I had one all ready for this morning but then I saw Carly Rae Jepson’s new video and well I really really like it. The song is just a standard catchy pop tune, the video though is amazing. I mean Tom Hanks! Simply awesome. Continue reading I Really Like You
A late one I know, forgive me. I had such a rubbish Sunday where I accomplished entirely nothing. You ever get that complete apathy where anything which requires more brain power than staring at the TV is simply a no go? That was me yesterday. Followed by potentially the worse sleep ever. All in all setting me up for a fairly great monday, flash blogger … Continue reading What’s Real
