Neve sings with such beauty on ‘Where I Want To Be’

Posted on 28 August 2020

Neve is back with her much-anticipated new track and this one is a beauty called ‘Where I Want To Be‘.

Taken off Neve’s latest EP called ‘Blue Skies‘, this is a wonderfully created indie-folk pot of delicious music for our tired taste-buds. Neve has a rare skill of being able to fully control her voice so that each note sounds so effortless.

This fantastic young singer is learning about life as she goes, as do we all. She loves being in nature and wants to be with someone that gets her. She wants to keep things simple, lay under the stars and play her music all over the world, wherever that is. It’s the journey that matters and if you are here for the long-term and not a flash in the sky. You don’t want it to end but you are figuring this all out in this crazy world so calm heads need to prevail.

‘Where I Want To Be‘ from Neve is such a stunning song that has left me breathless. I hope to see her sing live one day.

Veronica Malki – Habibti: Acoustically Magnetic Alt-Folk

Posted on 13 September 2018

To The Sound From The Bay by Veronica Malki

To describe Veronica Malki’s single Habibti as an emotional rollercoaster almost feels like an understatement. So, instead I’ll tell you that if you don’t feel something by the time the final verse fades out, you’re dead inside.

Usually, when it comes to Folk artists, the one thing that they are missing is power in their vocals, yet, it’s not until the momentum builds through the progressive track that you’re treated to the true strength and soul which is harnessed in Veronica Malki’s voice. The prelude starts with the progression of an acoustic guitar before the double bass is slowly, seamlessly weaved into the mix bringing so much brevity to the track, it’s almost guaranteed that your stomach will be left in knots.

You can check out Veronica Malki’s single out along with the rest of the album by heading over to Bandcamp from September 14^th, 2018. But if you want a taste of what’s to come, you can sink your teeth into her acoustically angelic first album ‘Listening’ while you wait!
