“With a voice that instantly captivates, Reece hooks the listener before the lyrical content has a chance to settle. But ‘Last Time’ is far more than a performance piece showcasing vocal talent.
The single has depth, and meaning. In this case, those emotions just happen to be brought forth in delicate fashion, by a brilliant performance.”

Bristol four-piece Salute The Sun return with the almighty 'All To You'. Their first single in three years, the track is a groovy sun-soaked number, dripping in soulful melodies and vibrato synths. Just as the days start getting shorter and the weather turns colder, ‘All To You’ is a song defiant against the changing seasons. Singer and songwriter Rob Aros's soulful vocals are paired with bubbling basslines and warped synth patterns, giving the track a luminescent, discotheque vibe. “This track was an unexpected delight for us as a band. We’d been tinkering with the demo for over a year, and having just moved in to a house together we finally decided to just get it finished" guitarist Matt Townsend explains. "Rob knuckled down: creating an exhilarating chorus hook, tightening up the production and adding some funky guitar licks to help drive the verse. Suddenly we realised we had a banger on our hands. This was the most excited that writing a song had made us since the very first track we wrote together! We’ve been waiting for the right time to release this song and that time is now.” Formed in 2014, Rob, Matt, bassist Toby Williams and drummer Sam Williams met on their first day at the University of Bristol and bonded over their shared love for an array of genre-defying artists. Best known for their energetic live shows, Salute The Sun have an incredible talent for producing punchy anthems over flowing with heart and soul. Receiving early support from the likes of BBC Introducing, Salute The Sun draw on the soulful grooves of Toro y Moi and funk tones of Earth, Wind & Fire to form their own musical trajectory.

“Let me start this review by saying I love the vibe, the talent, the writing ... THE EVERYTHING about this single. Dark and brooding with a twisted set of emotions ‘Manic Panic’ is a song that hits all the right tones and notes for me. Which makes the video all the more odd for me.
The imagery of the video hit me like Harry Potter gone wild. As if Voldemort had taken in young Harry and turned him over to Bellatrix Lestrange who then led him astray.
So the overall effect is ... I love the song, and am quite dazed by the video.”
“Love should win out. Sadly it doesn’t always feel that way.
This single uses a simple melody, and straightforward lyrics to deliver a hope that we can all get to a point where love is our guiding force.
All of the voices here are powerful and strong as they take us to ‘Church.’ The hip-hop flow on the back end was a great touch to this well-produced track.”
“Life is a grind that beats us all down at times. ‘I’m Still Here’ takes that fact and the emotions we face during that struggle and distills them into a beautifully delivered song that reminds us of our successes in the face of the every day strife. ”
“JT Roach drops this soft acoustic plea to heart’s desire, and he does so with an earnest, genuine vibe.
We’ve all been in that position where we had to plead with someone, let ‘Make It Up To You.’ Now there is a soundtrack to those emotions.
Chances are JT is way smoother than you are, so keep this one in your playlists to send to your beloved the next time you screw up.”
“Dope song. Very inspirational.”
