-
Rising Country Singer-Songwriter, Ashley Cooke who is signed to Big Loud Records/ Back Blocks Music.
Ashley today (Friday 18th November) released TWO brand new singles, Running Back, and Dirt on 'em.

“Every artist dreams of getting to play the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium, two of music's most legendary stages. I'm overcome with emotion having made my debut at both within days of each other,” shares Ashley Cooke.

Running Back starts with Ashley's crisp vocal at the forefront allowing for many special moments right from the very start which continue throughout. The first verse is stunning due to the heartfelt lyrics that you can hear Ashley has written straight from the heart. The song-writing is beautiful that is bought even more to life as the song develops especially within the second verse.
As I was listening to the chorus this was the part of the song that I caught myself getting emotional over as you can hear so much vulnerability from the fact that you would do anything to go back and be with that person despite everything. The more the chorus is shared the more the lyrics had me crying, the honesty is beautiful especially mixed with the crisp, soft, and heartfelt vocal tone.
Ashley's vocal tones are perfect throughout. Artists like Ashley Cooke are so special we need to cherish them.

Dirt on 'em has a little more upbeat instrumental that I have to say I wasn't sure about as it started but as the first verse kicked in, I realised why and really enjoyed it as Dirt on 'em continued. The crisp vocals from Ashley on the first verse were beautiful allowing for the lyrics to shine through right from the start due to the brilliant song-writing.
The chorus is upbeat with a fun loving feel to it due to the fun and sassy lyrics that Ashley has written showing another side of who she is as an artist - love it when artists do this when you least expect it.
The second verse adds another brilliant side of the story from Ashley - we all know someone who know a little too much about and it remembered me of someone I knew in High School and they through some dirt on most our year group. As the chorus came it was the vocal tone change from Ashley that bought something new, like it was the first time I was listening to an Ashley Cooke song.

-
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
