I’m a big fan of Robert Plant, at least in his role as front man of the legendary Led Zeppelin. I also happen to think Alison Krauss is one of the best country singers around, despite the genre not being my favourite.
Here we have them both together singing Please Read The Letter, the new song […]
This is an old song which has just been re-released in the UK by The Ting Tings, a fairly new British alternative/indie pop/dance band comprising of Jules De Martino and Katie White.
That’s Not My Name didn’t even chart the first time around but since they’ve now got some airplay and mainstream press, the band are […]
I’ll admit to having never heard of Miley Cyrus before the whole hoohah about some photos of her exposing naked flesh started. It’s not my fault, I’m British and she has never released anything over here.
There’s also the fact that I’m older than 14 so don’t watch the Hannah Montana show which does air on […]
I was never a fan of Natasha Bedingfield when she was over here in the UK plying her trade. Her first album was okay but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.
Now, she has disappeared over to the States to find her (larger) fortune and fame, and unbelievably, the quality of music she’s producing has […]
Gabriella Cilmi has come seemingly out of nowhere to have chart success in her native Australia, as well as New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland. And she’s done it with this brilliant song called Sweet About Me.
The other day I reviewed a song by an Australian band called Pendulum, who have moved to the UK […]
Yesterday, I wrote a post to promote two videos which I thought should get greater attention. Hopefully this meant you watched the offerings from The Bees and The Mooney Suzuki, and increased your musical knowledge a little bit.
This post was part of an endeavour by the whole of the b5 Music Channel to suggest some […]
Duffy is back, releasing her second single, Warwick Avenue, as a follow up to the huge hit that was Mercy. And even more than her début, this song transports me back in time to the 1960s.
Not that I was ever alive in the 60s, I’m old but not that old, but it gives me a […]
Adele and Duffy both seemed to come from nowhere and burst on to the music scene in the wake of the success enjoyed by Amy Winehouse on both sides of the Atlantic.
In terms of first singles, Duffy was more successful, with Mercy making it to number one in the British singles chart. I personally preferred […]
The Mystery Jets are a five piece Indie band from the UK who you probably haven’t heard of as yet. No, that’s not me being snobby, but unless you’re British, and in to new Indie, it’s just a statistical fact.
So I am here to teach you, and to that end, here is their new single, […]
John Mayer is another artist who hasn’t really reached any level of fame over here in the UK, so this is my first real glimpse of him, and I’m not too impressed.
Maybe this song, Say (What You Need to Say), isn’t a fair representation of his talent, as he wrote it especially for the movie […]
