“Electro R&B anyone?
Okay, so that isn’t exactly an official genre, but if it was ‘Rush’ from Ben alexander and Arya would top the charts right now. With a smooth, almost early 90s synth vibe, and a classic R&B vocal groove the track blends not only genres, but eras of music and still somehow feels contemporary and fresh in doing so. ”
“Mathilde Widding brings a vocal style that falls between ZZ Ward and Amy Winehouse so fans of either are likely to appreciate this engaging track.

Life is indeed a ‘Short Ride,’ and sadly can be even far shorter than we plan, so this is a song to help remind us to live each day to our fullest.
Fitzgerald weighs in on the track saying ... ‘This song represents some of my childhood and things I went through, I had suicidal thoughts and attempts when I was younger and it’s kind of like my way of releasing that pain now through this sound, remembering how it was and how I thought at the time, it’s like me saying it to myself.’

A smooth R&B groove with heavy Pop leanings about letting the bad stuff roll off and way from you.

Some people can do both but in her case it takes up all her time.”

“The vocal tone carries a bit of Amy Winehouse, but the groove and build feels more like ZZ Ward. Either way, Delilah Blower is her own artist and certainly delivers the it factor right from the start.
”This Ain’t Love’ is the kind of track that sinks its hooks in deeper and deeper as you listen, and that sticks with you long after the final note has faded from your ears.”

“This track tells a story, not only in the emotional and passionate lyrics, but also in a well crafted video.
’Easy’ dives into the dysfunctional rules of love and broken hearts. The fact it is easy to blame the other person when the one you loves strays.
