EP REVIEW - LILY ROSE - RUNNIN' OUTTA TIME

-
Tomorrow (Friday 10th May), Rising Country artist, Lily Rose releases her brand new EP, Runnin' Outta Time made up of 6 tracks all of which Lily Rose co-wrote.
Back in March, Lily Rose played C2C Festival at London's O2 Arena on the spotlight stage as well as apart of the spotlight stage in Glasgow and Belfast.

The Goal is a song filled with brilliant lyrics and great storytelling opening up this EP brilliantly. One thing I really enjoyed was the different interpretations throughout allowing for many different meaning to shine through. The chorus is a heartfelt one remembering our families whilst reminding us how precious they are and how is a spilt second our family and goals change and sometimes emotionally which is shown throughout her tone. WOW, the powerful moments, however, it was the final verse that caught me off guard.

Back Pew is one of my favourite songs especially after hearing it during C2C in March with incredibly emotive lyrics. All three verses of Back Pew are brilliantly written as you can hear how much the chorus means to Lily Rose, The chorus is filled with beautiful lyrics that have a lot of love within them as even if she's shows up late she will be there no matter what which is a really important message connecting all the verses brilliantly together. I am not a religious person, but this song got me thinking and even allowed for me to shed a tear.

Parking Lot begins with a guitar instrumental setting the song up fantastically allowing for Lily's crisp vocal to shine through. The story behind a parking lot was a moving one especially when you think about all the little things they see and experience - one song, I think many different generations will appreciate. The chorus is wonderfully written and created to allow listeners in. The second verse is my favourite as it has her personal take/ meaning. There is something so wonderful about Lily Rose's storytelling throughout that made me realise what a brilliant performer she is. I remember hearing this during her C2C performance back in March during her indigo set and absolutely loving the song.
Can't wait to add this song to my summer road trip playlist.

True North sees Lily's crisp vocal tones at the forefront allowing for the hometown feelings to be shared with the listeners. The chorus is super catchy and has an extremely homely feel which is something I love hearing within songs of this nature - remembering where you come from is so very important. Be proud of it! The fact that Lily Rose reminds true to herself within her music is magical and this song is no different especially as you can hear some personal connections. The softer vocal towards the end is great, especially as moments after True North returns to it's upbeat nature to end. A perfect song for driving home to see your loved ones.

Two Flowers has a soft guitar instrumental that compliments Lily Rose's soft crisp vocal allowing for a family feel which in turn saw Lily Rose wear her heart on her sleeve reminding me of the reason why I love Lily's music. The storytelling shines through especially within the chorus which was brilliantly written. 'I was born to be wild' was a line that really stood out to me as it really sums this song up wonderfully.

Runnin' Outta Time is an upbeat song reminding me of why I fell in love with Lily Rose's music in the first place back in 2021. The happiness and catchy moments within the lyrics are brilliantly thought about especially within the second verse allowing for me to stop and think about how content I am with my own life - it's moments of reflections that make us realise how beautiful life is. The lesson from this song is, is that we are all runnin' outta life - make your life as beautiful as you are!

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...

Following last Friday's episode (15th November) where viewers discovered that Lauren Bolton was the one to have killed Joel Deering, and honestly who can blame her following everything that she has been through, it was a full circle moment, however it was her boyfriend, Max Turner that took the wrap for her leading him to be arrested and charged - the things you do for love!

CORONATION STREET EPISODE REVIEW - WHO KILLED JOEL DEERING REVEALED

During tonight's episode (15th November), Coronation Street viewers were treated to an exciting series of flashbacks from the night that Joel Deering was murdered, with the killer being revealed at the end. Following Wednesday's cliff-hanger (13th November) of Max Turner in his cell saying 'what have you done?' with tonight's episode beginning with a shot of Max being interviewed with close up of the suspect characters and their motives which were cleverly delivered to us viewers - the way Max was wanting to protect Lauren Bolton was obvious, however the fact that Lauren thought Max was going to do something said a lot. I liked how Coronation Street decided to deliver each character's part of the story in between PC Kit Green's police interview with each of the suspects which is very cleverly achieved as it left us viewers thinking that it could have been any of them right up until the moment it was revealed.
