Ian Wills has always had somewhat of a ‘revolving door policy’ on his critically acclaimed band Wills & The Willing. Each of his first two albums featured an almost entirely different line-up, including Jessie Wood (Reef), Rachel Wood (Cirque de Soleil), and guest vocals from the likes of Tom McRae., Harry Collier, & Liane Carrol. Now with a brand new line-up and a bigger, more accessible sound for his third album ‘Dream In Colour’; Wills finally believes that he has settled on a definitive band line-up and has an inspiring set of new songs that will help take the band to a much wider audience. https://soundcloud.com/user-17894197/sets/dream-in-colour/s-NihUA “BUTTERFLIES” Inspired by the town of Wotton Bassett and the tearful repatriations, the first single ‘Butterflies’ relies heavily on the musical skills of new full-time ‘Willing’ members Sean Genockey , Charlie Morton and John Hogg (Moke, Rich Robinson, Roger Daltrey). You can not fail to be moved by the cinematic tear stained lyrics that comes from the sword like pen of Wills, coupled with its soaring chorus and emotive production. “DREAM IN COLOUR” In September of 2012, Ian , Sean , Charlie & John started working on the third Wills & The […]

Robbie said – “I was musing over the phrase ‘light entertainment’ – all the huge TV shows from when I was a kid, 30 million people watching them, this huge shared experience of these moments called light entertainment. Sometimes it can be leveled at people in a bad way, but for me that’s heavy entertainment. That’s what I’m hoping to do with this album – to have a shared experience with millions of people though the medium of light entertainment…but on steroids.” Track-Listing HEAVY […]

The incredible kindness of Taylor Swift has struck again as she sends Grace VanderWaal a special gift.
The incredible kindness of Taylor Swift has struck again as she sends Grace VanderWaal a special gift. On Friday (16Sep16), 12-year-old Grace VanderWaal, who won the top TV talent show on Wednesday (14Sep16), posted a short video to her Twitter account showing the huge pink floral display she received from the Shake It Up superstar. “Words can not explain how honored I am for this.. thank. You. SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! @taylorswift13” she wrote on her page. Grace was a frontrunner from her first appearance on the show in June (16) when she sang her own original song, I Don’t Know My Name, and also played the ukulele. Show judge Simon Cowell was amazed by her performance and immediately pronounced her “the next Taylor Swift”. Swift, 26, is becoming famous for her incredibly generous and thoughtful acts towards fans. Last year, 11-year-old Naomi Oakes, who had just been diagnosed with leukemia, was forced to miss her idol’s concert in Phoenix, Arizona. When friends and family shared a video of Naomi dancing to Swift’s song Bad Blood, they were hoping at best for a #TeamNaomi message of support from the kind singer. Instead, Swift donated $50,000 (GBP38000) to Naomi’s Go Fund Me […]

Volpi–Not like anybody else is a catchy and warm pop gem to look out for
Introducing Volpi: when two lovers made some art and music together. The creature was born on the sun-baked Italian streets of Bologna when an English boy and an Italian girl decided to make some sweet music together. Mixing genres like their nationalities, Volpi takes hazy guitars, soulful melodies, and disco basslines then glues it all together with a dark electro twist. Already featured as the BBC introducing track of the day, Volpi are now ready to unleash a series of singles this summer, each with its own Volpi-produced video featuring graphics by the fair hand of Selene! Tom from Volpi says ” My dear old Mum Wendy died early this year from lung cancer after a dignified and very brave fight. Whilst at home for 6 months caring for Mum with my Dad, I wrote an album of music during the evenings and nights: partly as a distraction, and partly to try and remind me of some of the beautiful, positive things life has to offer – in this case, Music. Together with my partner in kryme, Selene, we hope that through something so painful can come something positive and hopeful, especially in a world which is currently so […]

Lady Gaga’s new single hints at the end of her romance with actor Taylor Kinney
Lady Gaga’s new single hints at the end of her romance with actor Taylor Kinney. The U.S. superstar has returned to the pop world with Perfect Illusion, her first solo track in three years. Gaga and actor Kinney ended their engagement after five years together in July (16). The singer made her long-awaited comeback on Friday after a three-year absence from making solo music, dropping her new song and performing a secret set in a tiny North London venue. Her new song references a failed romance in the chorus hook: “It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love, it was a perfect illusion,” but Gaga explains while part of the song is about the type of love she has experienced, it’s not just about her personal romance. “It is about love. Of course it is,” the singer explained in an interview with The Sun newspaper. “It is about all kinds of relationships, every kind of love in your life and mine. “And I think it’s both sides – it’s not really from the woman’s perspective this song – it was important to me that men, when they heard this song, felt connected to women even though the song is essentially about a […]

Jude Jeyaraj–Yesterdays
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuh3TtNiCmg] Jude Jeyaraj cannot identify himself with any one particular style of music. In his own words “Eastern music (and ragas) offer a spirituality that just cannot be found in Western music.” as a result his music is very diverse. Born on 18th September 1978 Jude spent his early years in the small town of Jaffna in North-eastern Sri Lanka. Whether running down its long sandy beach chasing between the houses with his cousins and friends or simply sitting alone on the lush green banks of one of the many rivers that sliced through the countryside the young Jude felt that his home was a magical place. At the age of five Jude’s father bought him a small percussion instrument called a mealam. He took it everywhere and was constantly playing so much so that he fractured a finger and had to visit the hospital. To this day a crooked digit bears witness to his early passion for creating sound. Jude himself finds it hard to explain where this passion came from. Perhaps he has mused the incredible array of sounds around him at this impressionable age; the babbling rivers the chatter and shrieking of children the crashing […]

Tony Marrero, who was partying at the Pulse nightclub in June (16) when a gunman opened fire, painfully recreated the moment he realised his life and those of his friends were at risk in a video he shot for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He said, “It was horrible. (There were) people screaming and crying, people saying their goodbyes.” The TV host, who admitted she “sobbed for 15 hours” after learning about the events at the gay club, invited Marrero onto her show and then surprised him by introducing him to Perry, whose 2016 song Rise helped him as he recovered from his injuries. Tony was shot in the back four times and ‘died’ on his way to hospital. He was later revived. His best friend Luis was killed. Ellen asked Marrero if he had ever met Katy and when she stepped out into the studio, all three began to cry. “We’re both electrified by each other and so inspired,” Perry said after hugging her fan. She then fought back tears as Marrero thanked her for her “powerful” music and told her how […]
