With Halloween fast approaching and me being away for the festivities this year, I’m getting my seasonal music fix in early. And who better to provide the soundtrack than the incomparable Dylan and the Moon? Frankly, I’ll take a little indie-folk magic over another novelty Halloween playlist any day! Dylan has been on my radar […]
Rachel Chinouriri’s spot on EQ Music Blog has been a long time coming. I’ve been admiring her music from afar for far too long. And with her sophomore album, “I think I spoke too soon”, arriving last weekend, I recognise it’s high time I stopped swooning from the sidelines and gave this exceptionally talented artist […]
I do love an artist who does their homework before landing in my EQ Music Blog inbox. And BRAZN has already made a rather smashing first impression. Reaching out about their new release, “My Final Boss,” they let slip that they share my musical adoration for Bentley Robles. Well, now, you know how to get […]
October 16th? Oh, you’d better believe I had that one marked in my diary! There are album releases, and then there are album releases from artists who have had me firmly in their musical clutches for years. Enter Norwegian electronic-pop enchantress Moyka, who has officially unleashed her third album, BULLSEYE”. And yes, I am rather […]
My shoulders are broad, my opinions are my own, and I’m perfectly comfortable admitting that Olivia Rodrigo has never quite tickled my pop fancy. I know, I know. The girl has amassed a gazillion streams, conquered the charts and become one of pop’s most celebrated young stars, but somehow, I’ve remained spectacularly unmoved. Even her […]
I do love a good musical rummage. And while my submission inbox might occasionally feel like a game of musical roulette, every now and then a little pop treasure lands in my lap. Enter SUM SUN, the indie-pop duo who have rather successfully grabbed my attention with their latest single, “Rendezvous”. Dreamy, jangly and ridiculously […]
Well, well, well! Just when I thought I knew which musical world Joe McElderry calls home these days, he’s gone and dangled a rather tempting disco-shaped invitation into my ears. And naturally, I’m curious! I love when an artist refuses to be neatly boxed in. And Joe seems to be having a rather fabulous time […]
I do love a discovery by algorithm. And sometimes the internet gets it spectacularly right. My latest musical rabbit hole began, rather innocently enough, with Luciana’s latest release, “When I Feel The Love”. One click later and, somehow, I had stumbled across alt-pop artist, producer and DJ Maisi and the Disco and her latest single, […]
There are certain sounds that immediately trigger a very specific pop-cultural memory, and within the opening moments of Lostchild’s new single “Running (You You You)”, I genuinely thought we might be heading dangerously close to full-on Crazy Frog territory. Thankfully, we don’t. Instead, Lostchild cleverly repurposes that ridiculously infectious, slightly chaotic electronic hook into something […]
There are some collaborations that make you stop and think, yes, actually, this makes perfect sense. MEEK joining forces with Purple Disco Machine is one of them. MEEK has been one of those artists I have been watching steadily rise, carving out her own corner of the alt-pop world while building a fabulous fandom around […]
