SINGLE REVIEW - THE SHIRES ft. LAUREN ALAINA - LIGHTNING STRIKES

-
Today (Friday 19th October) will see British country duo, The Shires made up of singer-songwriters, Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes release a brand new version of their single, Lightning Strikes but this time with US singer-songwriter, Lauren Alaina to kick off UK Country Music Week.

Released and Reviewed after hearing on YouTube this morning.

Lightning Strikes starts instantly with the first verse taking you straight into the song which I loved. The first verse showcased Crissie and Ben's fabulous vocal ranges which Crissie sings wonderfully and opens the song in The Shires style, I know and love. I adore Lauren Alaina's softer vocals after Crissie's adding another wonderful dynamic to the song. The lyrics are ones that are so captivating and allow you to create your own image for the lyrics being sung. The chorus features some catchy and fun lyrics about love that only The Shires do extremely well. Lightning Strikes will be perfect for a Nashville Nights kind of night which gave me goosebumps. The second verse continues the storytelling of Lightning Strikes about that time where you wish you could go back in time whilst also realising that maybe the past should stay in the past - it's the moments of realisation, we get in our lives. Ben's lead vocals are just amazing, and Lauren's backing vocals are just wonderful. Lauren's vocals are just wonderful throughout giving the song something I never thought was needed but I adore! The lyrics are ones of honesty which connect to the chorus in the most wonderfully catchy way. The bridge of the songs showcased Ben and Crissie's harmonies wonderfully as were Lauren's which I have to admit at times gave me goosebumps. Lightning Strikes ends with chorus tying the song altogether in one wonderful way. Thank you, The Shires for adding Lauren Alaina and releasing this version.

CORONATION STREET REVIEW LAUREN BOLTON & MAX TURNER'S FLASHBACK EPISODE ALONGSIDE PADDY BEVER QUOTES

During tonight's episode (13th November) of Coronation Street viewers were treated to a series of flashbacks this time in the frame are Lauren Bolton and Max Turner who only recently got back together are the ones I have been most excited to see having said to friends for weeks they definitely have to be involved somehow if they were suspects thinking back to everything she's been through.  However, Monday's episode (11th November) Lauren's body language dramatically change in my opinion, and Max's side eye following Ed Bailey buying him a drink, but it was Sabrina Adetiba's sudden reappearance that left me with even more questions. The opening sequence was brilliant with the level of added dialogue as they recapped at the suspects, but Carla Connor's look towards Lauren Bolton during the flashback which entered to real time was interestingly delivered camera angles. With Lauren's son Frankie set to be discharged viewers saw young mum Lauren became incre...
