Tom Lee-Richards - Single Review: Out Of The Oddness
20 Feb 2018 // A review by Ria Loveder
An experimenter of music from a young age, Tom Lee-Richards' passion for songs and composition is evident in his array of work.
His latest single Out Of The Oddness has dropped and it is
one track I recommend you listen to.
A beautiful blend of electronic beats, harmonies and evoking
lyrics, it is a track that is layered with reminiscence of days long gone. Jam
pact with feelings of yearning you can’t help but feel Tom is confiding in you
with his vulnerable storytelling.
A beautiful build up in the music at 2:57 enforces the
heartfelt connection to childhood and times past.
A special mention I believe should also be said for the
photography on the single artwork and the teaser video that went live on his
YouTube channel, showing a 20 second clip of what to expect for the upcoming
full length music video. Whimsical, childlike and imaginative, I most
definitely look forward to seeing the video in its entirety.
A tune and video well worth a listen and look at!

Annie J - Single Review: Whenever You Leave Me
31 Mar 2019 // by Ria Loveder
Annie J’s song Whenever You Leave Me is one that all teenagers can relate to; that relationship that you want to be in, but distance seems to come creeping in. The lyrics are mature beyond her years and at the young age of 15; she’s showing that she has the writing capabilities to produce mature, insightful music.

08 Apr 2018 // by Ria Loveder
My music taste over the past year has changed a wee bit, and I am loving music that harks back to the 80's, and Ha the Unclear do just that. Their eccentric sound is filled with unconventional retro alt-pop music making them the perfect backing track to the New Zealand summer, pity we have just come into Autumn!
