On September 29^th, Ali Comerford released ‘Cool Girl’.

Classically trained violinist, violist and songwriter from Kilkenny, Ali Comerford has released her new song ‘Cool Girl’. An original mix of classical performance techniques with pop production and melody, gives Ali Comerford a unique space in the Irish music scene.

‘Cool Girl’ is just an acknowledgement that it’s time to stop playing along with what’s not good for you and to commit to what’s best for you.

About the song Ali says, “’Cool Girl’ is a song about being tired of trying to please people. I grew up afraid to upset anyone and just wanting everyone to be happy with me but I think the older I get the more comfortable I am with the idea that you’re not going to please everyone, you just have to do your best. The song also looks at lines that are used to placate people when really they are condescending, the “it’s not you it’s me” trope and how in 2022 maybe it’s time to retire that. If someone really thinks they are not worthy of you then maybe they shouldn’t chase after you to begin with.

I really wanted to make my strings the feature of this song. Playing violin and viola is such a big part of who I am as a musician. I came into the studio with a full score and recorded nearly 150 channels of strings before I put down any vocals. This is also my first time letting others have an input into my music and it was such a magical experience. Producing this song with Shane Tobler and Sean Montgomery Dietz was unforgettable. We used found sounds from around the studio to create most of the beat, it opened up my eyes to so many new possibilities and I’m grateful to both of them for it.”

Siobhán has recently released her début single, ‘Black Hole’

Siobhán, a London based singer-songwriter, has just released her début single ‘Black Hole’.

About the track, Siobhán says, “While trying not to write ‘another sad song’, inevitably, I did. My début single ‘Black Hole’ is about a relationship ending unexpectedly and how that can cause you to fear being vulnerable with someone again. Although the lyrics are heartfelt, I wanted to make it a song I would also want to dance to, so my producer Jack (Shute) and I included electronic pop beats and brit-indie rock inspired guitars that were the soundtrack to my teens – bringing the song into the addictive sad-bop genre. Written last summer when I was going through a difficult time, ‘Black Hole’ articulated my feelings in a way that I couldn’t when speaking to those closest to me. Making this song has been an emotional journey, and I hope that people experiencing a similar situation feel less alone when they listen to it.”

On 30^th September, Harry Stone released ‘Boy’.

‘Boy’ & ‘Tokyo’ are the brand new double-A-side from Harry Stone. The hotly-tipped artist and producer recently played his first ever live shows with an intimate, sold-out residency of three shows at London’s Laylow. ‘Boy’ & ‘Tokyo’ showcase new sides of Harry Stone’s sound and storytelling with the same lyrical openness that has earned him widespread praise.

Harry says, “’Boy’ is an imaginary conversation I wanted to have with my younger self; kind of like advice that was ironically too late to give. Before coming into the studio I’d been told about something that was really upsetting, and basically just put me in a ‘all men are dickheads’ kind of mood. ‘Boy’ is a reminder of how I used to see the world, but also a good message, that I’ve grown so much since then, into somebody I respect.”

Paul Potts released ‘Parla Piu Piano (The Godfather)’ on 30^th September.

Following his Britain’s Got Talent win fifteen years ago, Paul Potts has been touching people’s lives with his incredible talent.

He has now announced a double album of tracks performed during the UK’s lockdown.

Paul says, “When the first lockdown started in March 2020, no one knew how long it would last. It was even more uncertain for those in the entertainment industry- in fact there is still much uncertainty in the entertainment industry now.

As lockdown started, I had noticed many of the performances from the streets in Northern Italy and was inspired by them to start a marathon session of daily performances that continued every day for four months. While I could not travel anywhere, in music you can be transported just about anywhere you wish to go. Not only that, I was able to learn a lot of music that I had listened to but never performed. It was also very good vocal exercise for me. I particularly enjoyed the Sunday afternoon/evening performances often with a great sunset behind me.

So much in life has been forbidden, but not music itself, hence the title of this double CD album – ‘Musica Non Proibita’ – ‘Music is not Forbidden’. I’d like to dedicate this CD to those that have worked unendingly and stubbornly to make it through the pandemic, and to those that have lost loved ones either directly or indirectly as a result of the pandemic.”

Paul has a website, at paulpottsofficial.com.

 

A recording of the show is available on MixCloud.
