Today (Friday 25th November) will see British singer-songwriter, Twinnie release her Christmas single, Elf Yourself. Elf Yourself starts with Twinnie's crisp vocal alongside a guitar instrumental that I have to say I love the mix off. The first verse has a rather special heartfelt Christmassy feel about our loved ones, and how precious they are. The take on the lyrics is a rather precious one even from the song takes a different road to what you are expecting. Twinnie's vocal tones are fantastic especially heading into the chorus thanks to the brilliant uplifting tones. The chorus is the part of Elf Yourself that is upbeat bringing that special Christmas spirit that we all love to hear within a Christmas song. Elf Yourself has definitely got me in the Christmas spirit which I really appreciate. The more, I hear the chorus the more I love the lyrics. The second verse sees Twinnie's sassy side come out within the storytelling which is very much appreciated allowing for the T

EMMERDALE WEEKLY REVIEW - AS AMELIA HAS A TOUGH WEEK

Image
During this week's episodes, Emmerdale viewers saw a tough week for new mum, Amelia Spencer as her daughter returned home from hospital then following Samson Dingle's drastic action. The week   started as Amelia Spencer told Sam Dingle that her daughter, Esther will be coming home after spending few weeks in hospital following her premature birth, as Sam pushed Samson Dingle into agreeing to accompany Amelia to collect their daughter the next day.  Oh, Sam why are you forcing Samson?! What a lovely moment  when Amelia called into Noah Dingle's to see the swivel chair that he'd made seeing Amelia open up.  You can understand the anxiety she has. The caring and reassurance from Noah was needed,  however, as Noah asked to go with Amelia to collect Esther she quickly told him about Samson going. Noah looked let down,  he's been there more for Amelia than Samson ever has. Photo Credit: ITV/ Emmerdale Tuesday  saw Amelia bring her daughter, Esther home as Sam and Lydia Di

Double Denim  has an with an upbeat guitar instrumental to start setting the tone of the song up wonderfully. The first verse sees Poppy's crisp vocals start the song with this sassy feel that instantly got me wanting more there is something so wonderful about Poppy's song-writing, and this song is no different. It's all about the small things that shouldn't fit, but do which is showcased fantastically throughout the chorus especially. It's the singalong chorus that make all the different as well as the honesty that is showcased throughout. The way that Poppy has dived into a lot of her vulnerability it's fantastic.

The catchy twist in lyrics is fantastic. The chorus brings every single verse together beautifully especially within the secon
