London singer Ross Western rides the airwaves above with the electric ‘Easy’

Posted on 24 October 2020

‘Easy‘ from Ross Western is a new single full of life and energy, this is a artist on a mission to be known all over the globe.

This is a quality songwriter, producer, engineer based in London who returns with a new song that has a brisk start that catches your attention. This is the follow up to his last effort called ‘Worlds‘, full of touching piano and a movie feel. A more than worth follow up is seen and heard here, such is the brisk quality. This one is a bit edgier, with a indie rock kind of journey. I love the varied skill set which shows off the talent we are exposed to.

‘Easy‘ from Ross Western is a fun journey above the clouds, you just want to fly while listening to this truthful experience that makes us all smile. This is a perfect weekend song by the beach, living life the way it should be. The vocals catch you and fill you up, the guitar riffs reminds you that this is a song to support.

Melany Thompson – Lucy’s Lullaby: A Debut of Serenely Keyed Classical

Posted on 9 October 2019

Classical composer and pianist Melany Thompson has recently released her debut album “Memories of Home”, while each of the instrumental piano pieces offer a cathartic array of serenity, the best introduction to her distinctive approach to songwriting is “Lucy’s Lullaby”.

There’s a perceptible delicacy within Melany Thompson’s soundscapes, one which is not often found in neo-classical arrangements, but the sense of poised lightness runs right through the open and expressive piece.

Melany Thompson may have played at the Sydney Opera House at the age of 11, but I’m fairly certain that the best for this remarkably talented artist is yet to come. With the cinematic air to her sound, it would be no great surprise to hear her evocative melodies within film scores.

You can check out Melany Thompson’s single Lucy’s Lullaby along with the rest of her debut album via Spotify.

Tania Ilyashova -A gentle sound clash of genres

Posted on 3 January 2018

Like all the best music, it is hard to pigeonhole Pull Me Closer in terms of genre and style. It may be easy to identify certain core musical building blocks, soul, ambient piano, R&B sophistication, emotive world vibes, pop balladry, but they are so deftly wound through each other, so well spliced that the result is a natural, new and unique style. Tania Ilyashova is an expert at taking existing sounds and bending them to her musical will and the result is just gorgeous.

As a calling card for her recent e.p. Travelling Light, this track is like a beacon to guide discerning music fans through the dangerously hard to navigate waters that modern pop and R&B has become, a reassurance that there is a rewarding and safe place to head for. Here they will find music which has an understanding of the musical roots of such genres, which is blended seamlessly in a new and sublime fashion and then serves these musical traditions and creative threads for a whole new audience. Ambient yet groovesome at the same time, and in Tania’s hands it feels effortless.
