Greer Baxter’s ‘Sleeping On The Couch’: Out Now.

Carmen Lees-Green

We have all been there. A huge fight with your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband, and now you’re not only in separate rooms, but you must take that walk of shame to the couch with your pillow in hand.

That’s the scenario that Greer Baxter’s new song ”Sleeping on the Couch” personifies. Taking inspiration off artists such as Regina Spector and Alanis Morisette, Greer urges couples not to let a fight come between them and drive them apart.

“I wrote this song about suddenly being at odds with the person you love and trying to make sense of it. We’ve all had a night sleeping on the couch and we wake up in the morning thinking: why would we let a fight keep us apart for the night? It’s about wanting to resolve it before falling asleep and wondering if the other person feels the same.”
Greer Baxter

Gambling Be Gone! James Fox On The Road To Redemption With New Single ‘Rest Of Our Lives’

Carmen Lees-Green

In anticipation of his new single Rest of our lives, we look at the story behind this song of hope. We also look into the man behind the song, and that man, ladies and gentleman, is none other than James Fox!

Adding on to an illustrious career which includes two Top 20 UK singles to date; being the representative for the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004; working with national treasures and immense talents such as Sir Tim Rice and Tina Turner, as well as occupying multiple West End and Broadway roles, Fox looks to be a role model and a beacon of support for those who have experienced addiction like he has.

His upcoming single marks his return to music after suffering from a gambling addiction that almost ruined him. The track would prove therapeutic to his recovery and is set to come out on the 29th January 2021.

I have been as honest as I can possibly be with the lyrics on this album and have talked about everything from my issues with gambling, loss of family, friends, th..

From Olympic dreams, to acting, to finally playing his own tune: our thoughts on Michael Cooke’s new album, ‘Doin Alright’

Thomas

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.

His first release is ‘Losing My Mind for Nothing’ – a slow burning indie-influenced track which is accompanied by an atmospheric and dramat..

Paul Tully tackles ‘Anxiety’ head-on with latest single

Carmen Lees-Green

Talented singer songwriter Paul Tully is on the cusp of releasing his latest single Anxiety (due 30th September).

The emotive track shines a light on anxiety, a disorder affecting millions across the globe yet still largely misunderstood.

Addressing this serious and emotional subject, Paul hopes the track will instil confidence in his fans, helping others dealing with anxiety to understand that they are not alone.

“I’m hoping the song could bring a sense of comfort to those suffering from anxiety and let them know they aren’t alone. When I wrote the song in June of this year, we were in the middle of lockdown and there was a real uncertainty regarding our health and well-being of not only ourselves but those closest to us.”

Anxiety is a track that firmly establishes Tully as an emotive storyteller; a songwriter who knows how to truly connect with his audience through music.

“We have ever-increasing living costs, the never-ending Brexit and a complete lack of job security – people..
