SINGLE REVIEW - KAYLEE ROSE - STUFF

Last Friday (15th March) saw US singer-songwriter,  Kaylee Rose release her latest single, Stuff which I am loving so I have decided to share my review on the single. Kaylee is definitely one of my new artists to watch in 2019! Stuff  starts with a very soft and slow instrumental which quickly takes you into the first verse which sets the song off wonderfully. The first verse had me feeling rather emotional because of how easy the song is to relate with being based on personal experience and this shows instantly. The chorus is very catchy and written from the heart which is demonstrated within the different vocal range that Kaylee uses throughout. The second verse continues fantastically and it's based on the stage of throwing things away but you know it's hard too however you know it has to be done hence the chorus saying 'it ain't just stuff'. The bridge which then goes into a slower and more emotional chorus hard me with a little tear in my eye! I adore tha

SINGLE REVIEW - ABBY ANDERSON - GOOD LORD

Today (Friday 22nd March) will see US singer-songwriter, Abby Anderson who I absolutely feel in love with over C2C release her new single, Good Lord and I have chosen to review the single. Good Lord starts a super funky and very quirky upbeat instrumental which made me smile right from the start. The first verse of Good Lord sets the song off wonderful with it's wonderful lyrics which you can tell Abby has written from the heart which sets the tone for the song with the verse then going into the chorus makes me wanna get up and dance which I did and Good Lord is just perfect! Good Lord features some incredible lyrics that are super catchy and make you wanna sing along too which shows Abby's vocal ability off fabulously. The second verse of Good Lord continues the meaning of the song about the Lord and how he can make you smile when you are down and the instrumental following the verse breaks the song wonderfully. The final chorus of Good Lord is just perfect and shows off t

EP REVIEW - KATY HURT - UNFINISHED BUSINESS

This Friday (22nd March) will see singer-songwriter, Katy Hurt release her brand new EP, Unfinished Business and Katy very kindly asked us to review the EP for her and below I share my thoughts with you all. Drink has a very country feel right from off which I 100% loved. The first verse has a very Dolly Patron kind of feel for me which I adore. The lyrics of Drink are very fun and upbeat but especially the chorus which is a little upbeat compared to the rest of the song which I absoultely love. The second verse adds to the story telling amazingly with the help of the beautiful song-writing. Drink is the perfect song to start this album off with. Drink allows Katy to show off her stunning vocal range. Natchez is a song that starts off with a guitar instrumental to which Katy's vocals quickly joins in with. Katy showcases her softer vocal range which is wonderfully to hear allowing her stunning song-writing to shine through. The chorus is my favourite part of Natchez because

C2C SET REVIEW - FAIRGROUND SAINTS - TOWN SQUARE - SUNDAY 10TH MARCH

In the final blog of the C2C set reviews, it is on a trio who go by the name of  Fairground Saints which is made up of friends - Elijah Edwards, Meg McAllister, and Mason Van Valin who are a California-bred band. Fairground Saints are signed to Sony Music Nashville. Photo by Me One thing I loved about Fairground Saints is their instrumental skills and you know what they were absoultely incredible throughout which made their set even more special for me because it allowed their passion to shine through with their vocals. Fairground Saints decided to open their set which was made up of 6 songs with their first single, Somewhere Down The Line which allowed each member to show of their incredible vocals and one that put in the packed out room in a great mood even had some of the audience singing, but it soon turned funny for the audience when we noticed that Mason's guitar string appeared right in front of Meg's face half way through the song. The second song they cho

C2C SET REVIEW - RAELYNN - TOWN SQUARE - SATURDAY 9TH MARCH

Writing this review on Raelynn's set is something I didn't think I'd be doing having waited for the past 6/7 years for her come to the UK to perform. Raelynn is a 24 year old singer-songwriter from Baytown, Texas who is best known for being in the quarterfinals of The Voice Season 2 in the US in 2012. Photo by Me Raelynn chose to open her packed out set on the Town Square with her debut single God Made Girls which for me was the perfect song to start her 30 minute set with and God Made Girls had the audience singing along right from the start and by the look on Raelynn's face she was amazed that we knew all of the lyrics too. Raelynn then chose to perform a new song for us called Country Girl Gets It Done  (or at least that's what I think it was called in fact it's called KEEP UP ) which was quiet a sassy, funky song that the audience loved and were swaying too. Raelynn's next song was another new one which I sadly didn't catch the name of (gu

C2C SET REVIEW - TWINNIE - RADIO 2 STAGE - SUNDAY 10TH MARCH

Image
Twinnie had the very tough job ahead of her having the 10.30am set on the Radio 2 Stage in The Indigo which I thought was going to be difficult but with Twinnie being the amazing person she is, she managed to have all of the audience in the palm of her hand which was amazing. Twinnie performed 8 songs. Photo taken by me taken during her set on the Saturday in Town Square Twinnie chose to open her set with her latest single, Hollywood Gypsy which was full of journey and Twinnie showcased her guitar skills wonderfully. The next song that Twinnie performed was a very personal called Daddy Issues  song to her which the audience learnt a lot about Twinnie from in and the audience absoultely loved and the guitar instrumental from Twinnie made the song perfectly. The next song was called  Bad B**** which showed off her incredible vocal range which I perfectly loved the most and I like the fact that Twinnie made the courage to write a song like this. The next song that followed was C

C2C SET REVIEW - LAINEY WILSON - RADIO 2 STAGE - SUNDAY 10TH MARCH

Lainey Wilson was the second artist of Sunday Morning that I managed to catch and what a set it was. Having seen Lainey before Lainey smashed her set once again which was made up of 8 songs which were all fantastic and full of energy. Photo taken by me Lainey chose to open her set at just gone 11am with one of her quirkier and upbeat songs called Working Overtime which the audience loved and many people were loving and saying how amazing along with how much energy she had which I loved. Lainey then chose to sing Waste of Good Whiskey which allowed Lainey to have fun on stage with and one I felt myself singing along with from start to finish. Lainey's next song was a new one called Pour Pour which showed of Lainey's sassy side and one the audience loved. Lainey next sang my favourite song Middle Finger which in fact is a tribute to her best friend and everytime I hear this song live the more and more I love it. Lainey's next song was I'm The One With The Microp

Kaylee Bell is a New Zealand born singer-songwriter who performed at C2C for the first time during her first visit to the UK which was just amazing and she was the first artist I saw on the Saturday and what a perfect start it was. Kaylee sang 6 songs which blew me away and there is something so special about her. Photo taken by me Kaylee opened her set it with Getting Closer which is a song that Kaylee released back in 2016 which started Kaylee's set off wonderfully and one I was very glad she sang as it's one of those songs that I love! Kaylee's next song was a song about female empowerment and certainly was as Next Somebody is definitely one song is which most of her girls can relate too for sure and it's so catchy the audience were loving it. The next song was a new song that sadly I never caught the name off but I loved it especially with it's super catchy and funky lyrics. Who I Am which was a brand new song for me and one that we the aud
