EP REVIEW - DANNY McMAHON - BOYS DON'T CRY

This Friday (24th May) will see British singer-songwriter,  Danny McMahon release his new EP, Boys Cry Too. Boys Cry Too features 4 songs. All 4 songs on Boys Cry Too were written by Danny but track 3 was co-written with Daniel Evans. Boys Cry Too was recorded at Puzzle Maker Studio in Bristol. Everything starts a little slow but it works so well as Danny comes in with his softer vocal range which suits the tone of the song. Everything's first verse is very heartfelt and it shows within Danny's vocal range and I abousltely adore that. The chorus is completely stunning and it shows within Danny's vocals how much the song lyrics mean to him. The second verse continues the storytelling so fabulously well and you can really feel the emotion that Danny is feeling along with there being something so magically adore Danny's vocal and lyrical ability! I adore this song and this is the standout song of this EP for me. Boys Don't Cry start with a slow tempo instrume...

TENILLE ARTS RELEASES CALL YOU NAMES VIDEO

Tenille Arts turned to YouTube to debut the music video for her latest Reviver Records single, Call You Names this week. Shot on a Los Angeles soundstage, the clip features mothers, grandmothers and daughters interacting, as Tenille sings the beautifully touching song. Tenille’s own mother, Glenda Arts makes her music video debut in the clip, which can be viewed  here .

All of a sudden I started playing these chords, and literally the first line of the song, ‘I remember you caught me with that first cigarette I smoked,’ just came out of my mouth, and I was like ‘What the heck? Where is this going?’ It felt like a ‘God thing,’ because these words were coming out of my mouth, like ‘I called you all of these names.’ Then I had the idea to change that fro...

DEBUT SINGLE REVIEW - THE ADELAIDES - LEAVE

The Adelaides are about to release their debut single, Leave which I have to admit is a song I loved the first time I heard it during Nashville Meets London last year. Leave was written by Marcus Hummon who happens to be Levi Hummon's dad and what an amazing song-writer he is. Leave starts has very funky and upbeat style to start which stays throughout instantly drawing me into the song. Abi's vocals open the track before moments later all three of the ladies join in on the first verse. The chorus showcases the girls harmonies so well and they compliment each other's vocals fabulously. The lyrics within the chorus are so fun and make me want to get up and dance from the start. The second verse allows the girls to have a little fun with the lyrics as does the chorus, which I absoultely adore! Throughout, Leave the girls get a chance to shine individually with their vocals. The bridge of Leave slows down a little but it makes me instantly want to go...
