DEBUT EP REVIEW - ONE TRICK PONY - GONE CHASIN' ROLLERCOASTERS

-
This Friday (3rd September) sees British Emerging singing-songwriting duo, One Trick Pony made up of Georgia Lennon, and Michael Pickering as they release their debut EP, Gone Chasin' Rollercoasters.

Gone Chasin' Rollercoasters is made up of 3 tracks.

Dream Chasers has an upbeat instrumental to start. The first verse sees Georgia's crisp vocal that sees the lyrics being ones that get you thinking about our future lives which quickly sees Michael with the another point of view that I love hearing. The chorus of Dream Chasers features some incredibly thought about lyrics as they stand out and they get you thinking once again about how we can go after our dreams whatever the situation. The chorus brings the song together perfectly. Michael and Georgia's harmonies make for wonderful thinking. The second verse continues with Michael's vocal with more of the big wide world feelings that you get as you realise you are capable of anything as long as we put our minds to them. Anything is possible if we just believe! The instrumental ahead of the final verse is timed beautifully showing a little vulnerability. The final verse sees softer vocal at the forefront for a few seconds until the final chorus comes in which is an upbeat vocal bringing Dream Chasers perfectly together. The message I learnt from Dream Chasers is that you can do anything and pursue your dreams through from the very first moment to the very end.

Gone But Not Gone starts with a soulful guitar instrumental opening the track wonderfully. The first verse sees Michael's softer vocal at the forefront with this heartfelt lyrics making for emotional listening. Gone But Not Gone is clearly written on a personal experience. Georgia's vocal sees her singing about the memories that you are left with bringing a classic country feel to them. The chorus of Gone But Not Gone features some stunningly emotional lyrics that gets me thinking about my Grandma and the memories I have thanks to her. I love Georgia and Michael's harmonies - they made me a little emotional. What a vulnerable song. The verses continue with Georgia and Michael meaningful vocal continue to shine through with the family roots at the forefront with a real sense of pride being given, all your family want is for you to be happy and live your life the way you want too! The more I continue to hear the chorus the more vulnerable I feel as I am not an emotional person. Thank you for such a beautiful song.

Rollercoaster starts with a quirky upbeat instrumental that is very One Trick Pony. The first verse sees Georgia's crisp vocal range at the forefront of Rollercoaster allowing for her upbeat vocals to shine through once again on this EP with a loved up feel to them alongside an adventurous one too which I personally loved hearing! The chorus of Rollercoaster features some incredible harmonies from Michael and Georgia that are just stunning making everything about the chorus so perfect with a sentimental feel at times about how our lives are a rollercoaster of emotions with the many we face without any knowledge. The second verse sees memories within the lyrics that have a real feel kind of life with how life goes on despite any situation we face. The chorus is magical following the previous verse ahead of the final verse being the one that cements the song together fantastically. 
Rollercoaster has to be my favourite song of the whole EP thanks to the rollercoaster of emotions you are taken on.

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 '

-
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
