Devon Salinas – Say It

ByAbigail UnsworthInMusic ReviewsOn29/09/202528/09/2025

Devon Salinas is a singer-songwriter from Leeds who’s investing more into the city with his new single ‘Say It’ which he describes as “the biggest stepping stone in [his] whole music career”. ‘Say It’ opens with some romantic guitar layered over jazzy percussion, making way for intimate lyricism and a smooth bassline to re-enforce that atmosphere. There are uplifting vocals about experiences of love, brighter tones and some background brass. But just as we’re settling in, the chorus turns to minor chords and a shift in perspective tells us that Salinas in fact mourns the bliss of a past relationship. Although the sound remains restful and calm, verse 2 indicates the downhill trajectory of love and its gloomy consequence. Fluctuation is a key theme to this track, as the second chorus picks us up off the ground and quickly moves us towards an emotional, intense string section then final guitar solo. Devon Salinas is impeccable in demonstrating human feelings through his music. This performance of emotion lies even beneath his beautiful lyricism and into the skilled instrumentation of his song.

We never set out intending to be a funk band, it just sort of happened when Tom and I were messing about

I actually always find it hard to talk about the stories of my songs as quite often they are inspired by feelings or past times in my life that I find difficult or unable to share openly about and ‘Drunken Tree’ is a key example of that.

Project Charlie – Needles and Pins

ByKirklees Most WantedInMusic ReviewsOn03/03/202503/03/2025

Project Charlie, a Holmfirth/Halifax-based power pop band, formed in June 2024, brings a seasoned perspective to their music. Jon, Charlotte, and Dan, all experienced musicians, balance the demands of adult life with their passion for creating original songs.

Having established themselves locally with acoustic covers, they are now focused on their original material, with an EP planned for later this year. “Needles and Pins,” their latest track, is a reflection on the fragile nature of relationships. It explores the subtle erosion caused by everyday irritations, the “needles and pins” that accumulate over time. Yet, beneath the surface of these annoyances lies a deeper philosophical question: how well can we truly know another person, and what does it mean to be known? The song suggests that intimacy, while comforting, can also be a double-edged sword, revealing not only our strengths but also our vulnerabilities.

Project Charlie’s music, with its blend of catchy melodies and insightful lyrics, offers a relatable and thought-provoking listen. Their determination to create meaningful music, even amidst the challenges of everyday life, shines through in “Needles and Pins.” & positions them as a new band to watch in the local music scene.

I started thinking of similes around the situation, stacked them together, and “Go On Without Me” is the result

Ruby Wood – My Favourite Song

ByLillie-Apple ChartersInMusic ReviewsOn31/01/202531/01/2025

Ruby Wood’s “My Favourite Song” is exactly that, my new favourite song.

Described by Wood to be a love letter to music, “My Favourite Song” unearths the connection between a person and the music that brings them comfort. Not only does it have an irresistible groove, but has such a level of danceability that you can’t help but put on repeat. This song is the perfect mix of intimacy and summertime R&B, captivating you from the second it starts until the saxophone gracefully fades out at the end.

The third track from Wood’s solo debut EP “Sincerely”, “My Favourite Song” is one of five beautifully written songs. This EP covers subjects such as letting go and pouring love into manifestation and growth, as well as watching daughters grow into powerful women – a beautiful and important sentiment supported by the love received by Jamie Cullum, Craig Charles and various other radio shows since the tracks release in 2023.

Originally from Huddersfield, Ruby Wood has been all around the world! Any fans of Bryson Tiller will be familiar with Wood’s mesmerising vocals after her appearance on “Right My Wrongs”, Tiller’s 4 x Platinum Winning hit from his 2015 album TRAPSOUL and its subsequent sell-out shows at Wembley Arena, Manchester Victoria Warehouse and Manchester Apollo. Although, this wasn’t Wood’s first collaboration or live performance. In fact, she has many collaborations including the likes of Alfa Mist and Krept & Konan, has toured with Bonobo and Nubiyan Twist and continues to grace the luckiest audiences alongside Nightmares On Wax, Abstract Orchestra and under her own name at venues such as The Great Escape and Cross The Tracks.
