Song Of The Month – March 2019 – Blinded By The Lights by The Streets
LINK TO THE VIDEO Now when I went to see The Streets, I just went for something to do. I wasn’t a fan but a night out in Yorkshire with one of my very good, old friends, a gig and lots of alcohol, I was in! It didn’t take long for me to become a fan, about 10 minutes into the concert. They were so different live than what I’d heard on the radio.
Song Of The Month – February 2019 – Banquet by Bloc Party
LINK TO THE VIDEO There aren’t that many black people in alternative music. We almost always get pigeonholed into hip hop, RnB, reggae etc. and as much as I love all those styles and that was what I was brought up on, I love most styles of music. I can’t quite get with Trance or Death Metal but pretty much everything in between I can appreciate for what it is.
Song Of The Month – Jan 2019 – American Oxygen by Rihanna
LINK TO THE VIDEO This is actually one of my favourite Rihanna songs. I don’t really every remember it coming out or being big like some of her other songs but the video in particular gets me every time.
