Next Friday (6th December) will see British singer-songwriter,  Bailey Tomkinson release her next single, I Wish (It Didn't End Like This). I Wish (It Didn't End Like This) starts with a beautiful piano instrumental which sets the song up wonderfully which also happens to the sort the tone in Bailey's voice. The first verse of I Wish (It Didn't End Like This) features a softer vocal from Bailey which I absoultely adore. The lyrics of this verse are just beautiful and one a lot of people will be able to relate too as they will with a lot of this song making is so special. The chorus is a little more upbeat (and something I love about Bailey's music) adding a different kind of vibe to the song which is just incredible and works beautifully. The lyrics within this verse are so honest and raw that I love it so much and demonstrates to everyone what an incredible artist she is! Bailey's vocal range is completely different also. The second verse of I Wish (It ...

This Friday (29th November) will see British singer-songwriter,  Jade Helliwell is set to release her brand new single and the last for 2019, Stay. Stay starts with a beautifully slow piano instrumental which gives the song such a wonderfully warm feeling which I absoultely loved and started the song off in the best way. The first verse of Stay is one that happens to set the song off perfectly allowing Jade's softer vocal range shine through. There is something about Jade's voice that is so vulnerable leading to me believing in every single word Jade is singing. The chorus of Stay is once again a part of the song where I caught myself believing in every single word Jade is singing and the story-telling behind the lyrics are just stunning. I love the fact that the chorus is so catchy and manages to work well from every single verse. The second verse of Stay in the part of the song where the tempo changes and for the better allowing Jade to showcase al...

Today (Friday 22nd November) will see Liverpool based singer-songwriter, Laura Oakes release her brand new single, Welcome To The Family. Welcome To The Family starts with a funky and upbeat guitar instrumental which sets the song up perfectly. The first verse of Welcome To The Family shows off Laura's amazing crisp vocal sound which I absolutely love and with parts of the lyrics being ones a lot of people will be able to relate too. The songwriting from Laura is just wonderful, having been given it's moment to shine. The chorus is my favourite part of the song and the most catchiest making me want to get up and dance - this is something about Laura's song-writing that I love the most if I am honest! I remember hearing this song live back in May and the audience being so in love with the song and captivated by the whole message in the song, I can't help but feel that emotion once again. The second verse of Welcome To The Family continues the storytelling...

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 bea...

Following Emily Hackett 's visit to the UK for London's Country Music Week in which Emily performed twice at once supporting Tenille Townes on her debut headline show and then again on the Sunday as part of the Bluebird Cafe session at Bush Hall. Good Afternoon, Emily. Hope you're well! Thank you for agreeing to this interview with me. I have to start by saying a massive congratulations to you on performing during London's Country Music Week last week, how was it? It was wonderful. Such a great audience and experience getting to connect with everyone through my stories and songs. I loved meeting everyone afterwards as well. Your first performance of the week was as one of Tenille Townes' support, how was that gig? Such great energy in that room! Everyone was so excited for Tenille and her first headlining show, it was just an honor to be a part of it. I think we compliment each other well musically, so I was thrilled to be able to play for her lo...

Today (Friday 8th November) will see US singer-songwriter, Raelynn release her brand new single, Bra Off which I have to admit is one song I am very excited about her releasing as I love this song. Photo by Me from C2C London 2019 Bra Off starts with a quirky but sassy sounding instrumental which I love from the very first moment I hear the song. The first verse is one of pure sass and about that relationship that most of us have been in when you don't really feel like you want to be with them 100%. I have so admiration for Raelynn in the way that she is able to write songs like this and instantly connect with her audience. The chorus is my favourite part of the song and one that I caught myself singing to despite not knowing the lyrics still despite having heard it live a few times. The instrumental is a little slower than the first verse which adds a lot of dynamic to the song which I just adore. The second verse continues the moral of the story in the most ...

Today (Friday 8th November) will see US singer-songwriter, Kelsea Ballerini release her brand new single, Club from her up and coming new album due out soon, I hope! Club starts with a beautiful instrumental which goes into the first verse magical with it's modern country vibes. The first verse starts with some of the most beautiful lyrics and the first line instantly had me hooked into the song. I caught myself wanting to sing along right from the start reminding me of a Taylor Swift song from years ago when she was country. The chorus is super catchy and fun which I absoultely adore. The lyrics are so magical and that's all thanks to Kelsea's softer and soulful tone which for me gets better and better with every single song in which she releases. During the chorus, I caught myself wanting to dance this is the perfect dance anthem. The second verse continues the song wonderfully and Kelsea's vocal tone is still one that is soft allowing Kelsea's song-writing ...
