On Sunday evening (29th January), I attended Canadian artist,  Sykamore  debut London show at The Camden Club which was amazing, and one I enjoyed beyond words. Photo by me  Sykamore opened her set with  We Were Alright  which saw her crisp gorgeous tone highlighted that had audience members listening closely to the songwriting from Sykamore thanks to nostalgic lyrics. Sykamore gave a chat beforehand for her next song,  Record High  which she wrote with Jeff Cohen who was on that line up that evening, it was Sykamore variety of vocal tones that made me smile as the room was silent with the audience members listening closely. Up next was a new song from the talented artist was  Emotional  which showcased Sykamore incredible songwriting with very thought about lyrics that had me hooked due to the way the song was put together. It was beautiful how everyone was listening and enjoying the opportunity to hear new music. California King  is a ...

This Friday (3rd February) will see British country singer-songwriter,  Louise Parker  release her brand new single, Table For One. Photo Credit:  Meglensphoto  (instagram) Table For One  sees Louise's crisp vocal open the song beautifully with lyrics that are relatable to many of us. The songwriting is gorgeous and the story within the lyrics are great especially the catchy ones which happen to be the majority of the song. The change in tempo of the instrumental of Table For One is a brilliant move as it allows Louise to show what a fantastically talented artist, she is. The chorus features emotional lyrics that for me got me thinking as I saw myself relating to certain things throughout hearing the lyrics but the vulnerability from Louise and that I caught myself diving into was one of those moments that I am grateful to have had when I heard this song! These relatable songs are incredible, allowing for tough conversations to be had. As Table For One head...

First Time Flyers are made up of Tim Prottey-Jones, Vicki Manser, Jake Morrell, and Poppy Fardell who are set to release their debut single, Happier on next Friday (20th January). Photo Credit: Ryan Lavender Happier  starts with an upbeat instrumental that I have to say is the perfectly instrumental for their debut single. The first verse sees Jake take on the lead vocals with lyrics that got me thinking right from the start that carried on throughout the whole song making it a rather special and unique song. On the run up to the chorus and when the chorus came in, Vicki, Poppy and Tim's vocals blended with Jake's perfectly showcasing what an incredibly special and unique super group of artists they are! The lyrics are one that are rather heartfelt mixed with their sensational range of vocal tones between them. The uniqueness within this group is somethin...

Next Friday (20th January) Irish singer-songwriter,  Mairead will be releasing her brand new single, Back Another Day. Photo Credit: Cuan Hawkner Back Another Day  starts with a soft instrumental that I have to say supports the song brilliantly throughout. The first verse sees Mairead's soft vocal at the forefront due to the vulnerability within the lyrics due to the nature of the songs hurt which continues into verse 2 in a way that is beautiful as well as being relatable to many listeners. The chorus features many beautiful moments thanks to Mairead gorgeous tone. The hometown feels got me a little emotional but the fact that moving on is ok even if it can be a little overwhelming. It was as the chorus was repeated the more I caught myself realising a bug change is coming in my life, and that everything I feel is normal and valued. I have to admit the bridge is stunning and the lyrics are heartfelt allowing for another side of Mairead to be shown. As Back Another Day ends th...

Throughout 2022, Emmerdale had aired many storylines that have kept me guessing as well as lots of audience members, and even allowed for me to think outside of the box, and more you only have to ask my friends about this. This year has seen Emmerdale take us fans on a rollercoaster of a year with many brilliant storylines, as well as some that have left us questioning, but one thing reminds is that it got us talking.
