16 year old songstress Amber T releases impressive new soulful single ‘No Company’

Posted on 28 September 2020

16 year old songstress Amber T releases her impressive new soulful single ‘No Company‘.

Working with producers Jamie Brown and Conor Mangan at JBJ Studios was a great idea as they have given huge guidance for this young shining star. The track was mastered by the legendary Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering and the quality is totally top notch.

After starting to play music when she was just 8 years old, this is a self-taught artist with such a passion for me. She can really sing too. Amber’s vocals are classy and smooth, the years of vocal training is clear to see with the natural talent that she was given. Hard work and learning have helped her get to where she is now.

This is all about people complaining that they have no company. Its not your fault at all but they are making it your issue and you are tired of it. You are living and doing you thing no matter what. This is your time to shine and nobody is going to slow you down.

Amber T shows improvement yet again with her new indie-pop single ‘No Company‘ and this is a fine song from the young singer with a huge future.

Surrounded by Wolves are simply brilliant with new single ‘Garbage’

Posted on 24 September 2020

Surrounded by Wolves are simply brilliant with new single ‘Garbage‘ and this is a song to turn up loudly.

After a very successful career with directing TV and feature documentaries, Josh Wong is also known to music fans all over due to his strong voice and meaningful lyrics that are a pleasure to hear. After a few years off from music, a random conversation flipped the switch on thanks to meeting a new friend, Leo. Turns out, Leo is kick ass on the drums too.

The story goes that Josh was out with a high school friend, long time collaborator and bass player Reza Cassam. Josh and Reza fell into a conversation with the Leo Martinez, a young Parisian who was taking a year off to snowboard and work part time in the restaurant that they were dining in.

“Leo started to play and both Reza and my jaws dropped, we really found something here”. This is the type of moment out of a movie or music documentary. With local and good friend Jimi Leach on guitar, the lineup is complete and this will help the band focus on their music and bring out as much as possible.

With a rough and rugged start, you know that this is going to be a powerful rock song. This intuition is proved correct here and this is proper rock music. The solos are quite brilliantly put together and this is a track to party with. The vocals are pure and I like how the song never loses its luster, there is so much energy here and the drumming here is top class.

Surrounded by Wolves are on top form here with ‘Garbage‘ this is a fine song with a busty beat and their class shines through.

‘It Wasn’t True’ is a tale of love that can’t be lost from Emilio Lanza

Posted on 17 September 2020

‘It Wasn’t True‘ is the fantastic new single from the laid-back soul of Italian singer-songwriter Emilio Lanza.

Emilio Lanza is a self-taught Italian indie-pop singer-songwriter who graduated with a university degree in engineering but music is what he loves. This passionate singer has used the skills he picked up before to transform his music into a worldly experience. He makes awesome music, filled with skill and beauty. He has experience with jazz and this shines though and adds a lovely element to the song. He is also a Certified Apple Pro with Logic Pro X and this has really helped him with the creative process in his music.

With an earthy feel and flouring with sonic and spectacular acoustic sounds, this is a love song with all the right ingredients. This is about a breakup that you don’t want to happen. All those rumors were untrue, the love must stay alive and you are confident that things will change. Your lover was avoiding and things seem rough right now. You refuse to give up and want this to work so much.

This is an experienced musician with lots of electronic beats to mix in with the finger-style acoustic music that Emilio excels at. This is a fine track and I love the sentiment and the whole sound that is projected through the whole experience here on ‘It Wasn’t True‘ from the wonderful Italian singer Emilio Lanza.
