Posted on 11 September 2020

‘Desolate Days’ from Chellcy Reitsma feat. Edward Mifsud is a song all about the strange landscape that we find ourselves in 2020.

Mellieha, Malta is currently the home of this fantastic singer with such a true voice that is so rare these days, she sings with class and poise on ‘Desolate Days’.

Chellcy Reitsma is fairly new to the music scene but not to the stage; a true artist in every capacity. Originally from California, she grew up in a musical family exposed to American folk, rock and full gospel. She graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in visual arts with three degrees.

After graduation, Chellcy started her own ethnic dance company and toured around the world performing with many bands and drummers enjoying international recognition within the ethnic dance scene.

After starting her musical journey in 2015 due to major dance injuries forcing her to retire from dancing. Chellcy had always wanted to try her hand at singing-songwriting but never had the time, so she quickly seized the opportunity to start a new chapter and follow her music dreams. Chellcy is now a rising star in the music scene with her own unique fusion style and a retro edge that blends a touch of jazz, with blues and alternative rock.

‘Desolate Days’ from Chellcy Reitsma feat. Edward Mifsud is so relevant in this wild pandemic and we all hope that it ends soon so we can go back to life. This is a lovely song from such a talented duo who fuse so many styles in one to create such beauty.

Alex Lleo is on top form with brilliant ‘Easy Way’

Posted on 28 August 2020

Alex Lleo is back in a big way with his excellent new indie-pop release called ‘Easy Way’.

Alex Lleo is a singer-songwriter from Birmingham and he returns with such a gem of a song that will let us all think about what is around us.

Spending time in nature – in Worcestershire’s Lickey Hills where Alex lives and grew up, the awe-inspiring Scandinavian mountains, and surfing the various coastlines of the British Isles has shaped Alex’s creative outlook. You can hear his attraction to the natural world, its peace and its drama, in his music, which is exquisitely-paced, laid-back and rich in melody.

This is such a lovely song and I love Alex’s voice. The vocals are smooth and his stories can be related to. Not taking the easy way out is the answer and instead doing things with a glint in your eye, staying positive no matter what 2020 has brought you. This is a time for us to heal. Alex Lleo from Birmingham does precisely that on ‘Easy Way’.

Posted on 17 August 2020

Set for release on the 16th August, this is Blow Pop’s time to shine as they return with the brilliant indie-pop laced present ‘Nobody‘.

This is all about feeling that you are nobody in this big world of ours. A reflective story of being able to leave a situation quickly if need be. You have a low opinion of yourself and also blame yourself easily for things you really shouldn’t.

Blow Pop have such a stylishly sharp way about them from the ear blessing vocals and fine production. There is indie, pop, dance and disco all fused together like a delicious wrap of lip tingling goodness here. I love everything about this glorious piece of articulate art on this new track.

‘Nobody‘ from Blow Pop is a lovely indie-pop peach that gives you a pure feeling inside. An 80’s inspired song that is a self-reflection that lots of us feel like even though we shouldn’t. We are all special and somebody.
