Lost in Wescott’s Music

Posted on 5 May 2023

I recently came across two versions of the song “Lost” by the talented musician and award-winning songwriter, Matt Wescott. One was a studio version, and the other was a live performance at White Noise Studios. And if given the option, I will always choose a live performance.

The song itself is a toe-tapping blues-country riff-driven ballad, and Wescott’s voice is a pleasing gentle baritone that adds a layer of emotion to the lyrics. The song’s melody is catchy and will have you humming along in no time.

It’s not surprising to learn that Wescott has worked with some big names in the music industry, including Portishead, Alabama 3, Razorlight, Dodgy, Newton Faulkner & Fionn Regan. And he has played some of the best venues in Bristol, Bath, London, and beyond.

But it’s not just his impressive resume that sets him apart. Wescott’s latest EP, “Echoes Around The Sun,” released in 2023, showcases his incredible talent as a songwriter and musician. And the lead single, “Lost,” co-written with Aimee Proal, is an excellent representation of the EP’s quality.

If you’re looking for some new music to add to your playlist, I highly recommend checking out “Lost” and the rest of Matt Wescott’s EP. And if you want to keep up with his latest releases and performances, be sure to follow him on Facebook.

Showing us that love that you gave which you feel was actually wasted, this is an ode to those who had the courage to pack their heart into the warm jacket and leave for friendlier climates. In fact, this is also a message for those who have often thought about this very moment but just haven’t quite managed it yet.

Manchester-based Dámì Sule feels so lost currently as he worries about ‘Taking L’s’

Posted on 13 April 2022

As he examines the grim clouds above and wonders why things are so bleak right now while he cleans up his wounds, Dámì Sule delivers one of the more honest singles you are likely to hear today with the contemplative release about finding your destiny on ‘Taking L’s‘.

Emmanuel Damilare Sule aka Dámì Sule is a Nigerian-born singer and rapper who is based in Manchester, UK and shows us his good-guy-vibe mentality with music to stimulate your deepest emotions.

”Taking L’s’ is a fitting title for this emotional and personal tribute to failing to meet one’s own expectations.” ~ Dámì Sule

Dámì Sule is a gifted underground storyteller who seems to have that rare aptitude of expression that lets you into exactly what he is seeing right now. In a carnage-loaded world far too full of gloom and unnecessary hate, he is taking his time to work out who exactly he is – so that he may flourish like a free bird – and banish all those ghastly demons that are hiding in his mind forever.

‘Taking L’s‘ from the Manchester, UK-based indie singer and rapper Dámì Sule is a soundtrack for those who need some comfort about their current projection in this harsh seemingly alternate universe. There are others battling too and we can feel a sense of unity as we all get lost sometimes when our GPS malfunctions before we have a chat with ourselves and get back on track again. Featuring softly spoken poetry-like gems to awaken the mind again, this is a thoughtful single that should see you gazing outside and wondering if you are in the right place.

After all, you never know where your road will lead if you don’t experience some bad times – so that the good times will feel even more treasured like shiny gold – and make you extra appreciative of what you actually have.

ShiroNeko – Shiro (シロ) is a skillful Hungarian singer-songwriter, who sings J-POP and anime songs in Japanese. She delightfully brings her creations to life with her resplendent style that is such an incredible listen.

“”LACRIMA” is about the feelings when you feel lost, when you feel like you are in an endless dark maze and can’t find your way out.

Swimming in uncharted seas: Yasmine Gill is beautifully breathtaking during poignant relationship moment on ‘Blind’

Posted on 24 March 2021

Showing us her graceful voice that has your heart lost in the maze of love, Yasmine Gill is quite exquisite on her new blinkered single all about feeling lost called ‘Blind‘.

Yasmine Gill is an expressive Montreal, Quebec RnB/pop artist who has a sensually classy voice, that takes you to places you haven’t felt for so long, as her jazzy-trained tone lifts you up high and soothes away the mixed emotions that you currently feel.

This is the striking story of feeling lost in love when you felt really good before, as you start to realize that perhaps you are in too deep and need to come up to shore and take a deep breath again. Things have moved so fast and whilst it was exciting for a while, you feel like something is off and you have changed from who you know you are inside your soul.

Her vocal ability is supremely world class and each word is sung with purpose, you see her swimming in the rough seas and help her by throwing out a lifebuoy into her arms, pulling her out of where she doesn’t feel at home, guiding her to calmer waters where she feels comfortable and warm. Being away from the fake energy and back into the authentic light, is where she shines brightest.

‘Blind‘ from the spectacular sweet-soul of Canadian singer Yasmine Gill, makes you realize that finding that tribe who truly gets you, is what life is really about. Being with someone who doesn’t fully understand what makes you tick, isn’t going to truly make you happy long-term.

Sometimes we are blinded by lust of strong fleeting feelings when loneliness strikes and its only when you sit back and open your eyes, you see where you want to be in life. Being yourself and warm inside, keeps that cold wind of anxiousness away forever.

LA Americana artist Natalie Duque sings with such sadness on the new single ‘Stay’

Posted on 25 September 2020

Natalie Duque sings with such sadness about a lost family member on the new single ‘Stay‘.

Natalie infuses soulful folk melodies with a pop-infused style, her music is so sad but beautiful at the same time. Her voice is stunning, almost haunting and with such pureness that gets your heart beating so much faster. Her delivery is masterful on this story of not being able to see a loved one for the last time.

Tomorrow is not promised. This is a sad story about how you didn’t get the chance to say goodbye. The roads were cold and and it was snowing. She didn’t get a chance to say goodbye and the next day, he didn’t make it. You regret this moment so much but there is nothing you can do now but cherish the memories of his life.

Natalie Duque has that type of voice that makes you stop and listen intently. ‘Stay‘ is about the loved one that sadly passed away and the indie-pop care with this song is quite beautiful from the LA singer.
