Rising Country Singer-Songwriter, Ashley Cooke who is signed to Big Loud Records/ Back Blocks Music released a brand new single today (6th December), It's Been A Year as a surprise.

It's Been A Year opens with a guitar instrumental that compliments the song throughout beautifully.
The first verse sees Ashley's crisp soft vocal tone with lyrics that have a beautiful story around the song-writing and one that I instantly caught myself getting emotional over. It's amazing when you sit back and just listen how much can happen within 12 months with it being not until you hear songs like this that you realise.
The chorus features many beautiful soft lyrics that bring the song together fantastically due to the catchiness of the lyrics showing everyone what a brilliant songwriter Ashley is! The more the chorus is repeated the more the lyrics are perfect for being repeated throughout as every time you hear a little more attention to detail of what can happen within a year.
The second verse continues the story taking a little turn within the relationship side - the way that Ashley isn't afraid to sing about something many of her listeners would have gone through this year is beautiful. Ashley wears her heart on her sleeve throughout her music which makes her a special kind of artist.

Ashley's softer vocal in the final verse into chorus gave me goosebumps thanks to the stunning sentiment within the lyrics.

The message from It's Been A Year is that we all need to appreciate the little moments because it's what makes you stronger whatever happened.

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...
