LISTEN: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals “The Lion The Beast The Beat”
The vivacious vocalist Grace Potter leads this American rock band originally formed in 2002. The Lion The Beast The Beat is the band’s fourth studio album released this year and is certainly their most slick, notably collaborating with The … Continue reading
LISTEN: Jessie Ware “Devotion”
Jessie Ware’s name may sound familiar since she’s featured on many a dance tune but when you listen to her impressive debt album Devotion (released Monday) you may wonder where on Earth she’s been hiding! Each track on this album … Continue reading
LISTEN: Bat for Lashes “Laura”
The first track from her new album The Haunted Man released in October this year. She knows how to write a song that can leave you soaring but break your heart in one foul swoop. I’ve had the pleasure of … Continue reading

We don’t have the NBC’s ‘The Voice’ here just yet but I’m fast getting addicted to this new singing competition from the US (partly because I get to ogle at Adam Levine). One of my faves is Dia Frampton and … Continue reading
