ALBUM REVIEW: Ruu Campbell ‘Heartsong’

Rating: Heartsong is a true reflection of Ruu Campbell’s comfortable sense of belonging. With the picturesque West Country as his home, the young guitarist has produced a canvas of his thoughts and feelings on his debut album. Infused with cellos,…

Chet Faker wasn’t a name that immediately rang any bells for me. However, upon listening to his latest album Built on Glass, it is obvious why he has become so popular, so quickly and I now can’t get enough of…

FOR THE RECORD: Kings Of Leon ‘Aha Shake Heartbreak’

This November will mark the 10th anniversary of Kings of Leon’s second studio album, ‘Aha shake heartbreak’. To this day, this album is still my favorite from the Deep South, rockabilly tearaways. Sporting mum’s DIY haircuts, bushy beards and super…
