INTERVIEW WITH OLIVIA LANE ABOUT HER LATEST SINGLE YOU GOT ME

-
I am very excited to be bringing you this interview with US singer-songwriter, Olivia Lane who has recently just released her latest single, You Got Me on Friday 24th August and kindly Olivia agreed to and interview with me to discuss the single.

Hello, Olivia. Thank you for very kindly agreeing to this interview with me. A few weeks ago, you released your latest single, You Got Me - could you please tell us a little about the song?
This song is about letting someone know you’re there for them. 
Sometimes life can get so crazy and I know for me personally it really helps hearing someone say ‘I’m here to listen and I may not know the answers but you’ve got me here for you.’ I think there’s real power in being present for another person.

Your vocals are wonderful I have to say! Your vocal ability are fabulous.
THANKS!

What inspired you to write this song?
This last year I did a lot of work no self love and self growth and ultimately my songwriting started reflecting the lessons I was learning during that process. What I learned about myself is that sometimes I don’t need someone to fix my problems, I just need someone to sit with me and let me vent. You Got Me really portrays that lesson I learned about myself.

I am intrigued to know what the process of the song was from the song-writing to the recording?
That’s always the fun part and sometimes the most challenging. Essentially my producer, Skip Black, and I get in a room and start playing around with electric guitar sounds, different loops, different drum patterns, etc, until we find a vibe we like. Sometimes it happens in 2 hours and sometimes is takes 2 weeks. You Got Me fell out pretty quick because me and Skip have worked together a bunch and have found a rough template for my songs.

And how did you know you were going to release You Got Me as a single?
When I wrote it, I didn’t initially think much about it other than that it was a great song. I sent it around to my team, my parents, my sister and everyone came back and agreed it was a great song that I should put out. Sometimes I have to rely on my team to help me decide because I’m so close to every song I write that it’s hard for me to choose which ones are right for me right now.

And whilst, I have you I have to ask you can we expect you one day to hopefully come to the UK?
WHENEVER I CAN AFFORD IT! I promise :)

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
