INTERVIEW WITH KELSEY LAMB

-
This week's interview is with US singer-songwriter, Kelsey Lamb who I discovered in the middle of 2019, thanks to the release of her debut single, Girl In A Bar and since I have enjoyed following every step of her journey. I can't quite believe I got the opportunity to interview her.

Morning, Kelsey. Hope you're well.
Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview with me, it's wonderful to be finally be featuring you! You have been one artist, I have been wanted to feature for a while.

 Firstly, I would like you to introduce yourselves to our readers?
Hi! My name is Kelsey Lamb, I am a country singer-songwriter living in Nashville but am originally from Arkansas. I have lived here for about 3 years, and released 5 original songs that you can find wherever you stream music :) I also love donuts, pilates and spending time with my people! 

How old were you were you decided to start writing your own songs? And when did you write and perform your first song?
I started writing pretty recently actually! So, it was probably 5 years ago that I actually got the chance to be apart of the writing process for the first time. But, I didn't actually start performing my own original music until I moved to Nashville 3 years ago!

Where did you first perform any of yours songs and how old were you?​
My first performance of original music was about 3 years ago at a place in Nashville 'Whiskey Room Live' which is actually a bowling alley in Franklin, TN.

What is your favourite country song and who is your favourite country artist (can be more than one)?
My favorite song EVER is Alison Krauss' version of When You Say Nothing At All, I would definitely say that this song is what inspired me to take the leap of pursuing my dream of being in music! My favorite country artist, right now is Carly Pearce. I am obsessed with her story, her voice and her songwriting!

What is the most inspirational song you have heard?​
Oh man, I don't know if I can narrow it down to just one! BUT, most inspirational album to me is Avril Lavigne's "Let Go" . I've always been a huge fan of her vulnerability in her music and the way she isn't afraid to be so apologetically honest with her emotions. This album really inspires my songwriting a lot. I always remind myself to how her music made me feel less alone when I was growing up and going through the awkward teenage years and try my hardest to make sure my music does that same thing for listeners!

Now to talk about your plans for 2020

2019, saw you release your debut EP which I have to admit I absolutely love. You first came to my attention when you released your music video for Girl In A Bar which I have to admit is one wonderful song.

How would you describe your music in 3 words?
2019, was the craziest year of my life! In good and bad ways, haha. I did release the first two tracks off of my upcoming EP!

What are you hopes for 2020?
My biggest hope for 2020 is to release as much music as possible! I have so much I wanna say, so many stories I cannot wait to tell!

And before I let you go, I have to ask can we expect a UK trip from you in 2020?
Gosh, I am crossing my fingers for this to hopefully happen!!
Thank you so much for your time today, Kelsey.
I wish you all the very best! Hopefully speak to you again this year.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. 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 first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. 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 '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
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. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

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
