A New Dawn isn’t what you’d expect from the product of a broken relationship. Instead of an album full of heart-wrenching love songs and remorseful lyrics, Noakes’ approach to hopefulness and honesty ..
Melanie Masson has just released her latest single, ‘Seasons’, a beautiful take on Future Islands’ hit single ‘Seasons (Waiting on you)’, already receiving huge praise from the band’s assist, who deemed it a “Beautiful Version”.
The single comes as a follow up from her acclaimed first single ‘Why Don’t You Love Me?‘. Produced by the renowned producer Tristan Longworth, using only live musicians and instruments, the track showcases Melanie’s beautiful vocal talent and brings us back to a time when music was pure, untampered and beautiful.
Check out the video below!
The beautifully-shot video was created by the critically acclaimed director Simone Lahbib (currently a regular in Eastenders) and sets exactly the type of scene that we wish to return back to post-pandemic! Simone features in the video herself alongside Melanie’s husband and kids. The video was edited and filmed by Rik Argent for Plan Bee Films.
“I loved the melody and lyrics to Seasons and really connected to it. It fel..
Glasgow-based duo Der Mist bring unique a fusion genre featuring elements of pop, rock, new wave, indie and electronic to the table, bringing a refreshing new edition to the world of upcoming music. Their self titled album is due for release on February 26th but if you can’t wait until then, you can get a preview of whats to come from their new single ‘It’s Alright’ which is out now, as well as getting excited for other tracks from the album being released over the next month.
You would be forgiven for mistaking Der Mist for a band due to their massive sound but the talent behind the music are multi-instrumentalists Craig McKissick and Ali Whitty. Ali met Craig after working his way through other bands such as Crash My Model Car (signed to V2 Records) and Augusta Fireball and eventually setting up a charity supporting young musicians. The pair have strayed away from what is expected of modern music and using a combination of their musical and technical skills to follow their own path..
Glasgow-based duo, Craig McKissick and Ali Whitty – AKA der Mist – are ready to release their first singles from their forthcoming self-titled debut album.
After an exclusive listen to the soon-to-be released tracks, I can tell you with confidence, the intoxicating mix of rock, pop, synth and electronics leaves you in a space between the hard rock 70’s and the electric 80’s.
der Mist lead with the track ‘It’s Alright’ (very fitting for a time where everything seems to be the exact opposite)…
Leif Coffield is due to release his brand new single ‘Say My Name’ in February; it’s a dark twist on electro pop.
He’s gained support from the highly influential Clash Music and national BBC Radio, but he’s looking to broaden his sound to a wider audience still.
Leif is based in Glasgow, taking inspiration from artists that defy the mainstream. In the lyrics of his latest track, he tackles the suppression of relationships and the need to rediscover himself:
“I try in each of my songs for them to have one unique element or one distinguishing factor that sounds out of the ordinary and that separates it from the norm. I take a lot of inspiration from artists that endeavor to break the mold and refrain from operating within the confines of the mainstream. Artists like Flume, FINNEAS, Kanye West, Bon Iver etc where pushing the boundaries of the creative process and what is conventionally palatable is key.”
A stunning video will be released next month to accompany ‘Say My Name’. It co..
If you haven’t already heard the name Chris Andreucci, it’s definitely one you’ll be getting to know soon. With an appearance at the SSE Hydro Arena in Scotland, a record contract and plans to move to the
revered heart of country music, Nashville (US), Chris had all the steps he needed to become Scotland’s next big country star until we were struck by the pandemic.
Like many who have had to adapt their plans due to Covid-19, his appearance at the ‘Country 2 Country festival’ at the SSE Hydro and his opportunity to move were cruelly snatched away, leaving him wondering how he would still make it in the country world. However, Chris never lets setbacks stop his ambition, and he’s pushed on to release his long-awaited EP ‘What Don’t Kill You’.
Chris has already had a country career that’s enough to make anyone jealous, having performed headline shows at Glasgow’s iconic venue King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and the Celtic Connections show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. His new EP has been 12 mo..
After Michael had his Olympic dreams dashed, he changed career paths and became a successful actor (despite his twin brother going for the same acting roles he auditioned for!)
Now, Glasgow-based Michael Cooke turned his hand to music – letting his creative side flow freely and introducing his own personalty, rather than playing the part of someone else.

Thriving off the freedom to express himself creatively, the Glasgow-based singer-songwriter has poured his heart into his debut single ‘Losing My Mind’ – an emotional number with inspiration taken from numerous artists from the 60’s to modern 00’s indie.
With a folky undertone and a bluesy guitar solo, Michael creates a tranquil ambi..
