Harry Bray’s journey into music began with experimenting with sounds on his phone, a testament to his creative spirit and dedication to crafting unique music. “New Girl,” a track from his upcoming album, showcases his songwriting talent, blending interesting chord progressions with introspective lyrics.

The song tells the relatable story of encountering someone captivating in everyday life, leading to a whirlwind of thoughts and fantasies. However, the protagonist’s hesitation and inaction ultimately prevent him from pursuing this connection, leaving him with lingering regret.

Bray’s music, as he describes it, seamlessly blends traditional guitar arrangements with more experimental synth-heavy sounds, creating a diverse and engaging listening experience. His upcoming album promises to be his most ambitious work yet, and “New Girl” offers a tantalizing glimpse into the unique musical world he is creating.

Carol Hodge – Waving Not Drowning

ByAnnaCategoriesInMusic ReviewsPosted onOn

Carol Hodge is an extremely versatile and accomplished performer. A pianist, vocalist and songwriter, Carol has worked extensively with The Wildhearts and guested with punk oufits The Membranes and The Headsticks. She has toured widely around the UK. Although her roots are firmly in the punk scene, Carol has created her own sound and has produced four studio albums as a solo artist. Waving Not Drowning opens with mellow piano which leads into Hodge’s rich, strong vocals. The steady tempo builds up to a powerful chorus which Hodge delivers with ease. The passionately sang chorus is balanced nicely with tender, intricate piano. The lyrics and melodies of this Alanis Morisette like track are extremely compelling. The song tackles the very real themes of mental health issues and discusses the difficulties of life and how it can sometimes be tricky to support friends who are struggling. “We saw the ripples but we missed the signs/ I guess I couldn’t be there every time/Nobody can be there every time.” Powerful and emotive stuff!
