AN INTERVIEW WITH JADE HELLIWELL ABOUT HER LATEST SINGLE, THE MOMENT OUT TODAY

-
Today (Friday 1st May) will see British singer-songwriter, Jade Helliwell release her latest single, The Moment and I caught up with Jade to talk about the single.

You can read my review of The Moment here.
Good Morning, Jade. Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview once again with me, but this time about your latest single, The Moment which is out later this week.

How are you during this crazy time?
Hey! I’m doing well thanks, managing to stay sane by running a weekly live stream on Facebook every Thursday at 7pm, doing lots of Skype writing and collaborative projects.
I love how you are using this time as one of motivation with your livestreams which I have to admit, I am loving watching.

How are you feeling about releasing The Moment today?
I am super excited to release The Moment. I love how the tracks turned out. It’s unknown territory releasing music when we can’t go out the house to promote but it’s something I'm excited to see how people react to it and I couldn’t let isolation stop me putting music out!

Jade, can I please ask you tell us a little about your latest single, The Moment?
The Moment is a song about second guessing how we react to situations. Wondering if we missed the chance to capture something beautiful.
Jade, I have to tell you that I absolutely love The Moment.

My next question is one that I am very intrigued to know personally, how look did it take you to write The Moment?
I wrote this one with Kaity Rae about a year ago. We spent the afternoon writing and recording a demo and it just flowed pretty naturally. I think we both had situations we could pull from.

Was there a certain situation which inspired the writing of The Moment?
The idea was something Kaity had but I instantly knew of a situation I could relate to. I was thinking back to when I first started spending time with my now boyfriend. We were just friends but I knew I wanted it to be more than a friendship. There was specifically a time at Buckle and Boots Festival where I thought he was going to kiss me but he didn’t and I questioned myself after in case I’d missed my chance’.(luckily not as we’ve been together 3 years now! Ha)

Did you always know you wanted to release The Moment as a single?
I knew I wanted to release it as a single but I didn’t know when. This wasn’t the plan for this month originally but given the current state it made sense to go ahead and release sooner than planned.

Then, I have to ask you how was the recording for The Moment?
It was a whole different experience. Due to lockdown, I couldn’t head to the studio. Kaity recorded the piano at hers, I recorded my vocals at home and my producer Rob Gulston and The Banger Hanger worked his magic to make it sound like it does.

How would you sum up your single, The Moment in just 3 words for anyone wanting to check it out?
Emotional, Honest, and Reflective.

Now, I have to ask you does releasing The Moment mean that there is another single on its way soon or maybe an EP?
I have another single that I will be heading to record as soon as the world records to normal!
Thank you so much for your time today, Jade.
I am very grateful! I am very excited for you to see what the reaction is to the single.

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
