“My Love” A Story That Never Broke.Some stories don’t end when people go their separate ways. Sometimes, they evolve.Speaking on the record, Manny say’s “My Love” is one of the most personal records I’ve written. It’s inspired by my parents, who’ve lived in different countries for over 15 years, yet somehow never let distance redefine what they mean to each other. My dad still calls my mum every morning, no matter what. That quiet consistency stuck with me.This track sits as the third chapter in my Journey project, following on from “Holding On.” Where that song explored separation, “My Love”…

King Yanz Levels Up with Smooth New Single ‘Dangerous’.Finnish-Congolese rapper King Yanz is back, and this time he is turning the heat up. Following the momentum of his previous release No Favours, his latest single Dangerous leans into a warmer, more melodic R&B sound while still holding onto the edge of his hip hop roots.Built on crisp percussion, a grooving bassline, and flashes of raw electric guitar, Dangerous feels both polished and instinctive. Yanz experiments more boldly with melody here, layering harmonies over his signature rap delivery to create something that is equal parts smooth and striking.Lyrically, the track plays…
London-based sonic architect Antoin Gibson returns with Diss Tribute. A sync-driven release where suppression, authorship control, and backend industry access lock into one unified system. Dropping exactly one year after FlexAble, a debut that went viral before being shadow-restricted, the track reframes that disruption as strategy.Antoin Gibson by Hannah JonesInstead of chasing platform validation, Diss Tribute enters through sync: already placed via Tinderbox Music across PBS, MTV (The Challenge), The Discovery Network, and NASCAR Productions, with further alignment through Ocho Music Group.A composition savvy, hard-hitting rap masterpiece. — Tinderbox MusicThe rollout inverts the standard cycle—placement first, metrics second—bypassing gatekeeping through…

Single review, video premiere & interviewAngry! You’re AlrightDL onlyOut on 14 April 2026Angry! are from Southend On Sea and sing songs about people and things that irritate and annoy them, in a catchy lo-fi punk style. Formed in 2019 they have been a duo for many years, with (soon to be deleted) low-key releases on German Shepherd Records, but this is their first release since becoming a full four piece band last September. They may be ‘angry’ but this song has a sense of humour and irony about it – and lets the subject condemn themselves with their own words…
Superb collaboration from an americana legend and bluegrass torchbearers.Well, where to start with Jim Lauderdale? The man is so prolific that the virtual ink on the review of his last album, Country Super Hits Volume 2, has barely dried, and along comes The Birds Know. Rather than a companion piece to that album, The Birds Know is more of a follow-up to what is, in Lauderdale years, the positively ancient 2023 album The Long and Lonesome Letting Go. That album featured the International Bluegrass Music Association award-winning torchbearers, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys and that collaboration is resurrected here.Lauderdale was so…

Established Yorkshire songstress reinforces her reputation for excellence with fine mini-album.Any new single release ahead of a new album is always a teaser. After the video premiere of her new single The Losing Hand on this site back in November of last year, Elaine Palmer aficionados will have been licking their lips at the album to come. The track was a rocky, raunchy, guitar-driven beauty of a song, featuring Palmer’s signature gritty vocal and Telecaster sound.

Our third 80s-inspired feature in a month… safe to say we’re fully immersed at this point. But when a synth nails that balance of nostalgia and forward-thinking design, it’s hard to resist.

The latest incarnation builds on that legacy – refined, expanded, and still just as inspiring to explore.
