Last Friday (27th October) saw  Tigirlily Gold  made up of sisters, Kendra and Krista release their brand new Christmas single, Falalala Falling. Photo Credit: Jared Olson Falalala Falling  starts with a electric instrumental which compliments Kendra's beautiful crisp tone. The verses are filled with many sentimental feels that honestly got me feeling a little emotional about all those little things that you only do at Christmas as well as the memories you make when family and friends gather as we all know how hard those things are becoming. The harmonies from both Kendra and Krista are great from you hear them. The chorus is filled with many gorgeous moments bringing in some the fantastic family/ home feel to the song that listeners will hopefully be able to relate with getting them in the mood for Christmas just like I am now (this is something I rarely say aha!) The instrumental/ bridge is fantastically timed as it allows for the song to have the perfect breather before this sen

Last Friday (20th October) saw US sibling duo,  American Blonde  made up of Natalia and Tinka release their Christmas single, Kiss Me This Christmas. Kiss Me This Christmas was written by Natalia as well as Jimmy Nash and produced by Catt Gravitt. Photo Credit: Mackenzie Ryan Photography Kiss Me This Christmas   starts with a jolly joyful instrumental that kicks off the Christmas feels brilliantly. The first verses sees Natalia's soft vocal tone kick the song off fantastically with lyrics that are filled with such honesty and some that get you thinking as you can get them in different ways. The next two verses are brilliantly written and take you on a journey especially when Natalia shows her crisp tone. The chorus is filled with an important message with all your want is the people you love around you as they are all that matters this Christmas period. Having that special person to share Christmas with is so magical - enjoy your time together! The solo instrumental from Tinka on t

Today (Friday 20th October) will see American singer-songwriter,  Scotty McCreery  release his brand new Christmas single, Feel Like The Holidays. Feel Like The Holidays was written by Frank Rogers, Monty Criswell, Derek George, Bobby Hamrick and Jeremy Bussey and produced by Frank Rogers along with Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis. Feel Like The Holidays  starts with a crisp instrumental that has a magical vibe to it that makes me feel so Christmassy. All three of the verses see Scotty's crisp vocal at the forefront allowing for many magical moments that got me thinking about all our family traditions growing up. Feel Like The Holidays takes you on a journey right from your own experiences of being a child to making precious moments with your own children especially within the chorus which sees Scotty's vocal range shown brilliantly. The chorus has many moments that honestly melted my heart, you can hear how much Scotty has grown within his style of music which for me makes it eve

Today (Friday 13th October) will see US newcomer singer-songwriter,  Kylie Morgan  release her debut album, Making It Up As I Go which is made up of 12 tracks which Kylie co-wrote on 10 with the other 2 being written solely by Kylie. Making It Up As I Go  sees Kylie's crisp vocal opening with a lot of honesty and vulnerability that I caught myself relating with a lot as someone who is turning 30 in a couple of weeks with the lyrics hitting a little differently. The chorus is filled with many lyrics that get you thinking and relating that once again everyone is on a different journey through life and that's OK as not everyone will feel the way you do about things. We have to do what makes us happy in those precious moments, we don't want to look back and have regrets because at the end of the day we only have one life and we should be living it whatever way makes us the happiest. The second verse is the part of the song that caught me getting rather emotional as it talks abo

Today (Friday 13th October) will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter,  Eleri  releases her latest album, The Carnival. The Carnival is made up of 13 tracks.  Magic  opens Eleri debut album wonderfully with a live feel to this album right from the very beginning which is rather special and very Eleri.   The lyrics throughout Magic are beautiful and filled with such positivity, love, and appreciation for the lessons learnt. The second verse is upbeat featuring some rather special moments allowing for the Eleri, I know and love shine through right from the very start of her debut album. Eleri is one brilliant singer-songwriter with her wonderful cool tone complimenting this throughout. Heels To Hell  has a very sentimental feel featuring a different kind of style from Eleri that is based on a personal experience of hurt as well as a lesson learnt. The chorus is the part of the song that personally got me a little emotional as I felt myself relating to parts of the lyrics being sha

Tonight's episode of Coronation Street (2nd October) saw Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman finally get married in the shows first gay wedding with their loved ones surrounding them. It's fair to say that both Billy and Paul have been on a journey to get to where they are today and have supported each other through many difficult, heartfelt moments especially with Paul's recent diagnosis. The episode was filled with a lot of emotion for both Billy and Paul as well as their families gathered with Gemma and Bernie Winter both bringing the comedy at various moments that bought many fond moments. However for me, one of my favourite moments came as Summer Spellman walked alongside Billy in the Bistro as these two have been through a lot over the past few years, but I became emotional as Paul chose to walk down the aisle with the help of his sister and mum - the smiles from both Paul and Billy were great to see. The honesty through the vows Billy and Paul made to one another made me c
