Today (Friday 26th April) will see Canadian singer-songwriter,  Tenille Arts release her latest single, Call You Names. Call You Names starts with a beautiful guitar instrumental which starts the song off in the most beautiful way. The first verse features some extermely honest lyrics to which a lot of them I felt myself being able to relate too because us girls have definitely all been through this with our mums/ mother figures. The chorus is another super honest part of the song to which I felt myself looking back on my childhood growing up and thinking about the things I did in those moments when you don't know what to do or how to felt. The second verse is just like the first in the way of the honest and it's about the stage where you left house and are unsure about what adulthood would/ will take you. The wanting to of apologising is something a lot of people learning will be able to relate too. The lyrics within Call You Names are incredibl...

Today (Friday 26th April), US singer-songwriter duo,  Maddie and Tae release their new EP One Heart To Another which is made up of 5 songs and 4 of which have been written by the girls, Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye. Maddie and Tae latest EP is definitely one of love, loss and redemption which you can definitely hear within the collection of songs they have shared. Friends Don't starts a wonderful instrumental even though it does also set the tone for an emotional song. Maddie is the first vocal you hear with rather heartfelt lyrics followed by Tae for the harmonies and in the chorus which takes the song to another level of meaning which I personally love. The second verse is where you can really hear the emotion. Friends Don't demonstrates to us listeners how much they have grown professionally over the year and I am grateful for the honesty. Friends Don't to me is one song that's in between friendship and love and whether it's worth the risk. Friends ...

This Saturday (27th April) will see British singer-songwriter,  Louise Parker release her next single, Chances Are. Photo credit meganellephotography Chances Are starts with a guitar instrumental which starts the song off in a lovely way which is quickly taken into the first verse. The first verse of Chances Are is rather upbeat and allows Louise to show off her softer vocal which I absoultely love because it shows off everything Louise can do in a such a beautiful way. The chorus of Chances Are is super catchy and very funky which is a perfect song to be playing in the summer weather we have at the moment. I felt myself being able to relate to some of the chorus and you can definitely tell that Louise has written Chances Are from her heart and it shows in the most beautiful way! The second verse of Chances Are continues the storytelling and the picture you paint in your mind in the most fabulous way and more so in the final repea...

This Friday (19th April) will see British singer-songwriter,  Mairead Furlong release her brand new single, Cocoon. Cocoon is a song which Mairead wrote for her baby girl. Cocoon starts off with a wonderful guitar instrumental which I happened to love right from the start. The first verse is so incredibly heartfelt and it's obvious that this song is written from the heart and just as a new mother prepares to meet her baby for the very first time - I'll be the first to admit that it pulled on my heart strings from the start. I like the fact that Mairead didn't leave her partner's looks out of the song. The chorus of Cocoon is simply beautiful and extremely unique with lyrics about her daughter whilst she is in her womb growing and for that reason many people will be able to instantly connect especially women and new families. The second verse continues the story telling beautifully with the 'I can't wait too..' which for me was extremely moving. T...

Filmed during her recent UK headline tour, it documents Sarah’s love affair with Great Britain and its people who have firmly adopted Sarah as one of their own. Photo by me from Country Music Week 2018 WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘FIRE’ HERE Fire the latest single from upcoming studio album, Wonderland released June 7th is an emotionally charged song written by Sarah, with Pete Hammerton and Shelly Poole. Calling the UK her “second home” , Sarah set out to embrace everything the UK had to offer  “ I hope everyone gets to experience all the magic I had while recording Wonderland. I never imagined in a million years I’d be recording an album in the countryside of Wales. I wouldn’t change it for anything!” Whilst the early foundations for the record came together in Nashville with Mark Bright, Sarah soon rel...

Following on from last night's episode which I didn't blog as I got too busy aha, I'd like to welcome you to the final blog in the series of blogs I am going to be writing during Ruby Allen's trial week. Tonight's episode is the one where the verdict is given.... I absolutely  loved seeing Ruby and Stacey's supportive friendship back where it was all those years ago and since Ruby's been back and through this case their friendship has developed. In the first scene of the episode tonight us viewers saw Ruby Allen arrive at the court and look at the trial display where she stood nervously looking at it which I have to admit got me because she's been so strong throughout her ordeal and Louisa Lytton's portrayal has just been wonderful. In the next scene still in the court, Ruby is seen having a coffee in the private room but her support worker comes in to see if she's OK to which Ruby gave such a brave answer. Moments lat...

Following on from last night's episode, I'd like to welcome you to the second blog in the series of blogs I am going to be writing during Ruby Allen's trial week. At the end of last night's episode we saw Ruby take to the stand ahead of her giving evidence in tonight's episode. In the second scene of the episode tonight, us viewers were taken back to the court room where we saw Ruby Allen was about to take the stand about being given the book to swear on, ready to give her account for what happened to her on that night in October. Ruby was clearly starting to feel the pressure. In the next scene back at the court, Ruby was in the stand where she was giving her evidence and the judge started to question her about the night in question as she give her account of what happen. Ruby was still clearly distraught as she was questioned by the judge. In the following scene moments later, Ruby was still in the stand with judges still questioning her ab...

This week, I have decided to do a series of blogs based on EastEnders' Ruby Allen trial against Matt and Ross who are friends of Martin Fowler from school following what happened to her back in October at his school reunion. I am a so grateful for Louisa Lytton agreeing to come back for this storyline and tonight saw Ruby feel very scared about what was going to happen but this week will see many different twists and turns are to come - I am sure. In the first scene, viewers saw a scared and super anxious Ruby Allen sat up on her bed in her flat on the morning of her trial against Ross looking rather down. I felt myself feeling and for Ruby and looking through this from her eyes was an amazing move from the director. Moments later in the cafe, Jay Brown was in there when Martin walked in where Jay asked after Ruby on her trial day  - I am very grateful that Jay is still showing that he cares about her despite everything. Later it wa...
