EP REVIEW - TIGIRLILY GOLD - BLONDE

-
Today (Friday 23rd June) will see Tigirlily Gold made up of sisters, Kendra and Krista release their brand EP called Blonde.
Blonde is made up of 4 tracks, and being released via Monument Records.

You can read my interview with Kendra and Krista here.


Blonde starts with a guitar instrumental from Krista which sets the tone for the song perfectly with Kendra's soft vocal tones coming in on the first verse. The first verse sees Kendra's sassy side come through that I have to say is brilliant with lyrics that are wonderfully written. Ahead of the chorus both sisters Kendra and Krista on lead vocals showcasing their fantastic harmonies and there wonderful bond with the lyrics. The storytelling within the lyrics are brilliant especially as the catchy lyrics of the song comes in thanks to the party vibes that the song comes in with - I can definitely see why people at C2C 2 weeks ago were loving this song was such an atmosphere. The second verse continues fantastically with the sassy country tones that is brilliant and links beautifully with the chorus every single time. The final verse is in a softer tone as the songs lyrics slow down a little as the chorus sees a crisp tone come through. Blonde ends with the final chorus bringing the song to a wonderful close. Thank you for releasing such a fantastic upbeat single.

Hometown Song begins with guitar instrumental which brilliantly compliments the song poignant message. The first verse has some lyrics that instantly get you thinking and many times I caught myself relating with them about my hometown - knowing everything about it expect for that feeling that you can't quite put your finger on. The emotion I felt towards the end of the verse as the final few lines kicked in, I caught myself with tears in my eyes. The chorus is about the moment you finally get out, but you can't move on as it's your safe place and change can be rather hard for so many of us! However, the more I hear it during Hometown Song the more emotional, I become especially as I heard it for the second time, I broke down. The second verse continues about the stage of when you have just moved into a brand new place, and are struggling to find your feet after leaving somewhere where you have got to know really well, but when you also know that you need to leave to grow is even harder. The instrumental solo towards the end was wonderfully timed, and Krista on solo lead for a few of the bridge was fantastic to hear. Krista and Kendra's vocal harmonies are fantastically showcased throughout beautifully. The final chorus hits very differently for sure.

Move On begins with a soft guitar instrumental which sees Kendra's soft vocal coming in on the first verse with a lot of patience. The lyrics are beautifully thought about, and the uptempo showcases the great harmonies from the sisters. The chorus is wonderful and makes me want to get up and dance, whilst also making you want to think about moving on from that one person and being strong enough too. The second verse continues with some female empowerment which is a fantastic blend, however, there is something about Kendra and Krista's vocals that are so special which make all of their music brilliant - is there anything these sisters can sing about?

Shoot Tequila starts has a guitar drum instrumental that compliments the song brilliantly throughout. The first verse sees Kendra's sassy vocal at the forefront with Krista coming in for the harmonies beautifully adding another layer. I love how you get to know these two fantastic ladies through this brilliantly written song. The chorus has this party vibe with upbeat lyrics that make you instantly want to sing along with. The moment you know you shouldn't do something but at the same time you really want to do it - there is a hard choice to be made. The second verse continues with the party energy wonderfully with more of the story developing. It is the high energy from Kendra in the bridge that gives the song this other layer that is pure genius. I have nothing but praise for how Shoot Tequila ends with the chorus allowing for everyone to hear the sisters harmonies for a final time. What a great song to end their new EP with.

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
