SINGLE REVIEW - THE SHIRES - NEW YEAR

-
Today (Friday 22nd November) will see British country duo, The Shires made up of singer-songwriters, Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes release their brand new single, New Year.
The Shires were formed in 2013.
New Year was written by Ben and singer-songwriter, Kaity Rae.
New Year is the first single of their brand new album due to be released in 2020.

New Year starts with a wonderfully upbeat guitar instrumental which is perfect for the start of this song before Crissie's vocal come in on the first verse. The first verse of New Year starts the song off with her beautiful crisp tone showing everyone her soulful side and allowing the lyrics to shine through.
The first verse gets you thinking about New Year and who we welcome the New Year in with and that one special person who we hope is there.
The chorus is the most moving part of New Year for many listeners however, it is also the happiest thanks to Ben and Kaity Rae's song-writing on this beautiful song. The way that Crissie and Ben harmonise is outstanding, you can tell that they really know each other vocal ranges.
The second verse of New Year continues with Ben getting the chance to sing solo which brings another dynamic to the song with his warm vocals.
The final verse of New Year gets you thinking about the 'what ifs' of either way the situation could go making this song relatable to everyone in so many different ways.
The final chorus of New Year which ends the song in the most beautiful and wonderfully way - this is the perfect song to start the new era of The Shires music off with.
Everything about New Year and its lyrics and vocals in such a moving way.

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 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 '

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.

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
