Leo Brazil – Perhaps I Have The Power

Heartfelt and soulful, “Perhaps I Have The Power” is a sweet and simple folk ballad and a plainly raw acknowledgement that things will be better. Brazil’s low and thick vocals and honestly hopeful lyrics make for a powerfully uplifting core, and the bassy guitar strums and thumping percussion coalesce into a pleasantly soulful sound to accompany it.

Brazil’s love for music is evident in the deceptively strong production – including background choral vocals, warbling Mellotron, and subtly mixed bass – which compliment the core song without tainting the simple, folksy sound. That, and the heartfelt declaration that “music is always around when you’re feeling down.”

I can’t think of a better example of that sentiment than “Perhaps I have the Power”

Sophie & Songs – Love Betrayed Me

Sophie & Songs works through heartache and betrayal with her healing ballad ‘Love Betrayed Me’, all about unrequited love and the subsequent anger that follows. This song speaks to the part of us that continues to love in spite of the reciprocity we receive, and the emotions that coincide with this situation. 

As an acoustic folk singer/songwriter, Sophie is no stranger to storytelling as she takes pleasure in reading, learning and making music. She states that she writes out of personal experience, providing an authentic listening experience whilst guiding herself through difficult emotions. She believes that nothing expresses feelings like a live performance, and she takes every opportunity she can to perform on stage. 

Sophie says;

“That connection between audience and performer is unique and something I cherish.”

‘Love Betrayed Me’ is the perfect ‘break-up song’, and definitely one that I’ll have on repeat consistently!
