New music you need to hear!!

I was recently contacted completely out of the blue by a new upcoming artist whom is going by the name 'Lorne' I was truly honoured to be asked to review his music as I've never been approached to do something like this before.

Lorne is a London based singer/songwriter. Most of the songs from the his upcoming EP have a piano accompaniment. He will be releasing his debut EP 'Maze' sometime around September/October. I feel like this album is alot about heart break and being hurt by the one's you love. You can definitely feel the emotion and passion being poured into his music.

On first listen of 'Bread Alone' I was completely blown away by the haunting melodies and powerful lyrics. Lorne has a very unique sound to his voice which captures you and leaves you wanting to hear more. I've found myself singing Bread Alone on a few occasions, I can definitely see this song becoming a hit in the future.

You can subscribe to Lorne's YouTube channel here, where you can find a live video for the 3rd song from the EP 'Oil & Water'. Such a lovely chilled out vibe to this song, with some beautiful lyrics.

If you like artists such as: Bon Iver, Tom Odell, James Vincent McMorrow, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, then I definitely feel like you will like Lorne

If you have checked out his YouTube link above then Subscribe! you can also head on over to his Twitter @LorneMusic and follow him over there to find out exact dates for the EP and any future gigs he may be doing.

Happy listening!

What's on my Spotify playlist

Anyone that knows me will know how much I love to listen to music, not a day goes by that I don't listen to music. I typically listen to Indie, Rock and Folk but sometimes I like to mix it up with a little Pop or Country, I suppose I'm quite an open book when it comes to music, but I do prefer a song to have a story behind it rather than being the same line repeated over and over and over again.

Here's a list of songs/artists I've been listened to a lot lately, they're not all necessarily new songs it's a bit of a mix bag really but all of them are songs I've been loving and playing tons.

1. Bears Den - Isaac
2. Kaleo - I Can't Go On Without You
3. Twin Atlantic - No Sleep
4. Daughter - Doing The Right Thing
5. Foals - Mountain At My Gates
6. Frightened Rabbit - The Loneliness And The Scream
7. Foals - Providence
8. Oh Wonder - Without You
9. Biffy Clyro - Animal Style
