Sara Lew releases spacious and airy ‘Did You Ever Notice’

A beautiful song with some great lyrics. Sara encapsulates the feelings of loneliness, emotional isolation and the yearning to be with that someone 

Listen – Did You Ever Notice 

LLOREN grapples with societal expectations with haunting new single

Not just a great song but also one that makes you listen that bit closer. There’s a line in the verse “who could love a mad woman like me”. Definitely not something you’d hear but does get your attention

Teddy Swims: A Powerful Vocalist with Room for Growth

Teddy Swims’ recent performance at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire showcased his exceptional vocal abilities and captivating stage presence. His emotive delivery and ability to connect with the audience were particularly impressive. However, while his current musical repertoire is strong, he may benefit from expanding his range to avoid repetition.

Despite the repetition, Swims’ performance was undeniably powerful. His rendition of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” was a highlight, demonstrating his versatility and ability to infuse emotion into even the most familiar songs. Overall, Teddy Swims is a talented vocalist with a bright future. However, with further development of his musical repertoire, he has the potential to become an even more influential artist.

A great gig with a superb retro feel to it that makes it look like it could’ve been taken from the 60’s. One of the things you can’t take away from it is that great energy between the band and the crowd

I enjoy this video as it doesn’t overdo itself and has that creative storytelling aspect to it. Has that ‘a day in the life’ feel to it. Between the lines it shows a lot
