ANDERSON EAST – ” Fool ” and ” Say Anything “

I’ve been a bit infatuated with this Nashville songwriter since I first heard him last year, and the debut full-length that he just recorded is phenomenal. It’s one of those 10-song records that’s damned near perfect, traveling through the old, smoky bars of older days and down the twisted back roads of love. These are Sam Cooke-caliber love songs, if they had more of a honky-tonk bent and were fueled by repetitive nights of hard whiskeying. The way that Anderson East has of conveying that deep-gutted hurt that can only come after an exhausting want or attraction is next level expertise. He is a spectacular talent, and releases like this one are as thrilling as they come.

Leon Bridges is an American gospel and soul singer from Fort Worth, Texas. He is best known for his song “Coming Home” which received regular airplay and was also a Top 10 Most Viral Track on the net and Spotify Bridges music style is soul and gospel resembling 1960s rhythm and blues, with The Wall Street Journal describing him as a “throwback to ’60s-soul a la Otis Redding and Sam Cooke.” Bridges performs in vintage clothing describing him as someone whose “music sounds like he looks.Because he will be at the Franklin’s BBQ of SXSW—the lines will be long and everyone that waits will swear it was worth it. But if a recent run of spot-on Austin shows is an indication (and it should be), they’ll be right: Live, where you can hear pin drop when he belts out the big ballads, the hype on this 25-year-old soul-thowback proves itself worth believing. And this early Mother’s Day card, only the third piece of recorded evidence to surface so far, is as stirring as it is gorgeous.

Donovan Woods a Singer Songwriter from Toronto Canada,With a voice as notable as his lyrics, Donovan Woods is a critically acclaimed and in-demand Canadian recording artist, performer and songwriter. His third record, “Don’t Get Too Grand”, featuring the hit single “Put On Cologne” garnered radio airplay around the world, and was nominated for “Roots & Traditional Album of the Year” at the 2014 Juno Awards. Splitting his time between Nashville and Toronto, Woods’ versatile songs have been recorded by everyone from Canadian indie artists to established stars like Tim McGraw or Alan Doyle (Great Big Sea), and been featured in television shows, major motion pictures and commercials. Piercingly honest and quietly anthemic, Woods sings with a striking sense of the world that produced him – the unsung towns of Canada’s industrial heartland. The result is music that’s transporting, but never loses the dry, self-deprecating humour that has endeared Woods to audiences from the start.

“These are just smashing songs, period — “Put On, Cologne” and “Petrolia”
are jaw-dropping in their plain-spoken beauty — and Woods inhabits the
rootless, put-upon characters in his sad-sack vignettes with believable
ache… The spotlight beckons, Mr. Woods.” please come here soon.

LAURA MARLING – ” Strange “

Laura Marling has unveiled another preview track for upcoming LP “Short Movie” called “Strange”.

It’s a lighty country-folk ditty with a tribal beat, it’s a lot simpler than some of the noises showcased by Laura Marling so far.  Marling has shared a wonderfully eccentric new song, ‘Strange’, from her forthcoming album. .

‘Strange’, is taken from Marling’s fifth album, Short Movie – which is released later this month.

The song, which follows ‘False Hope’ and the album’s title track, continues to mark a significant departure from Laura Marling’s previous work. Though the same can arguably be said for every album she’s released, this one is particularly marked.

‘Strange’ sees Marling relish a strange and playful tone and cadence as she lilts between speaking and singing. Its lyrics are equal parts dark and self-deprecatingly brutal: “And I try and bring meaning to all things / And as I try to take you in I cant wait to be alone. Then you fall in love with me / And your love becomes my responsibility / And I can never do you wrong.”

Laura Marling’s fifth album record Short Movie is out on 23rd March via Virgin/EMI Records.

RYLEY WALKER – ” The West Wind “

Ryley Walker immediately catches you off guard. He’s the kind of artist that can easily be compared to the Singer Songwriters of the Mid eighties, especially with his pastoral sounds and picking that’s reminiscent of Nick Drake, but there’s something undoubtably modern about him as well. Be it the meandering codas or the expertly weaving guitar, Walker is the kind of artist that forces you to listen from bar one.I’ve been hyping Ryley Walker’s ‘West Wind’ single for awhile. especially since the album release for the past few weeks now. Its a brackish and magical seven-inch that sits somewhere between Tim Buckley’s soaring reveries and Bert Jansch circa ‘LA Turnaround’”

LEON BRIDGES – ” My Love Stays “

its safe to say that Leon Bridges hasn’t been garnering attention because his sound and song structure are terribly original. To say that he’s merely channeling his influences, though, wouldn’t be true. Sure, his music is heavily reminiscent of the soul greats, but his melodies and swagger are all his own.

Even so, there’s something to be said about the fact that his songs feel like they came from decades ago – creating a modern classic is no easy feat, and he seems to thrive in that space. Take any opportunity you can to see him during SXSW, because after a summer of festivals and an album release, you won’t be able to catch him in any reasonably sized venue.

“I think people have forgotten what real drums and real voices sound like. We have been so overexposed to these pre-packaged “#1 hits” that when there is anything that has any glimpse of truth or rawness to it, it is like a fresh breath of air. Americana music really is lyrically driven and is meant to make people think, which is the total opposite of most of the stuff out there on the radio, so I think that naturally people are being drawn towards it.” says Aldridge.
