“No Man is an Island” said John Donne in 1642 but sometimes it can feel that way. Sometimes we deliberately drift away departing from our neighbours in a bid to better ourselves, allowing ourselves a chance to change. Lazy Hunter embodies this detachment in their new single ‘Strange times”
Strange times transports us to these islands and reflects mulitple realities ampliefied by the Chris on the synth and echoed by Pete on the drums. The instrumentals have the tendancy to blend into each other adding to the disorientatiion we all tend to feel in these strange times.
Strange times Lazy Hunter
Their witty observations on society are delivered with a melodious backing track directed by Chris’ cynical, but impactful lyrics.
This single has been released as part of a mini album the duo have been working on. After years of exhaustive work, the brothers are finally receiving the success they deserve by gaining recognition from RGM Magazine and Rising Artists as well as airplay from BBC Music Introducing.
With their genre-defying sound and experimental edge, this band brings you a new noise to contemplate to. Hopefully soon we will have their mini album to contemplate over.
Lincoln is bursting with talent, introducing the wonderful Georgie Hanson with her new single Circles.
Some paths we follow find us running alongside a lake or stream, othertimes our path is disrupted, a ferocious ocean halts our journey. The waves roll close to us, blocking our view of escape. It’s not the water that scares us it’s how we face it, do we turn back, do we drown or do we dive right in? Georgie’s single encoruages us to dive in, doing so finding the water to be calm, we can swim through this.
With the reassurance of a reoccuring rythm, Circles teaches you how to swim in the troubled water of your mind. An audible dream, evoking images of an idyllic love.You know you can swim by yourself, safely to the shore but it’s more fun to swim with others, life is about embracing both possibilities.
Georgie Hanson
Georgie explained that she “began the track with a breath to capture the nerves you feel when you’re in a new relationship”
This new Indie/pop track is perfect for the spring season that hosts vibrancy and vast possibilities.
Circles by Georgie Hanson
Her lyrics are heartfelt, the bravery that comes with being vulnerable pays off in with this infectious melody.
Georgie has been creating these harmonious narratives for almost ten years, starting her lyrical journey at age 16, she’s already released two EPs and is currently working on her first album. The singer promises that 2022 will be a big year for her.
How do you heal a heart? Have a cry in the shower, go out every night for two weeks with your friends, or sit in bed for a few nights watching naughties chic flics? Perhaps it’s a combination of al three, maybe you even blast out a few breakup anthems, a bit of good for you by Olivia Rodrigo, heartbreaker by Marina and the diamonds or something new, something with a bit of empowering attitude like Sorry for you mate by Flo Gallop.
Flo Gallop
While it’s healthy to mourn, acknowledge the pain they have caused you this sing will serve to remind you that they lost you! Why should you be sad? Apologise for their loss and feel that power return. It’s time to live life according to Flo’s lyrics and be “happy [you’re] through”. The raw truth to her lyrics make her playful sound so easy to resonate with, you’ll be too busy dancing to think of any supposed good times and you’ll soon realise it’s for the best that this negative person is out of you life.
Sorry for you mate echoes the effervescence of Señorita by Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes with a punchy rhythm that demands attention which is complimented by Flo’s confidence that comes across in her vigorous lyrics.
This passionate lyrical personality is definitive of Flo’s music style, she is exuberant, raw and thus accessible to listeners. Her songs are conversational, her words are a friend in our ear telling us to take back our lives and make the best out of a bad situation by being happy they’re gone. If you want to celebrate at one of Flo’s live gigs she’s playing at Roadtrip and the Workshop on the 23rd of March, buy tickets here
Flo Gallop by Tom Hopewell
The joyous nature of her narratives are found in Flo’s previous singles such as UP, which is a colourful insight into her personal life, a pop anthem embracing positivity, rising above any negativity. Personally I can’t help but fantasise about summer afternoons and busy bbq when this song comes on, her songs have that teleportive power so you can sit in the sun even if you feel you can’t face the world, although with this music I doubt you’d be sitting for very long.
UP by Flo Gallop
I find her sound evocative of Eliza Doolittle and Lily Allen but she has her own flair and her own sound, it’s the call back to the naughties that I am living for.
As a 21 year old, Flo’s song 21 is the guidance anyone in their early twenties needs.The tumultuous twenties, are like rushing through a river rapid, some people are seemingly so far ahead married, children maybe, while others have full time jobs or sweating it out at Uni, where are you supposed to be? That high school fear of fitting it cradles you as panic settles in. Flo reminds us, there is no right place to be, no sure direction, you have to make the waves work for you, be your own source of navigation and you’ll get through, ending up where you need to be.
