Serving as a love letter to his wife as well as the lead single from his upcoming album, ‘Mykonos’ is a brilliant track that demonstrates fantastic command of vocals and guitar, with the two dovetailing together to give an intimate acoustic sound that is instantly appealing. The song also comes with an accompanying music video, which pairs Crabb’s music with a performance from contemporary dancer, Tess Howell, who performs in London’s Langdon Centre, with the venue chosen due to its association with the Downs Syndrome Association on behalf of the ‘Mykonos’ engineer, whose daughter is a performer with downs syndrome.

‘Mykonos’ is a teaser for Crabb’s full album ‘English American’, which is due to drop January 25^th. The album has been 20 years in the making, with a relationship with initial producer Steve Brown kicking off the project in the mid-90s. Crabb and Brown became close friends having both worked at Sony EMI together, and throughout this time, the recorded tracks that would later become the framework for ‘English American’. With immense talent within and behind the music, you simply cannot afford to miss Crabb’s debut album. Make sure you listen to ‘Mykonos’ so you know exactly what Crabb is all about before the full album release later this month!

Kicking the album off is the brilliant lead single, ‘This is Chicago’. A song that is all about Camrose’s experience of being in Chicago as a trainee surgeon, it takes us through the first feelings of being somewhere new. A brilliant song that is only boosted by the command of lyrics that Camrose demonstrates throughout the track. The lyrical content on this album is the most striking aspect, with numerous experiences and feelings being penned that make fantastic music. Another example of this could ‘Didn’t Say’, where Camrose sings about his late parents, showing that he is able to write lyrics that speak to people in the most personal way.

After a strong start, it soon became apparent that this brilliant start would continue throughout the album. Tracks such as ‘A Storm Coming’ and ‘Won’t Matter to Me’ carried on the clear quality on display, with added rock-elements that helped the album stay fresh and exciting. By the end of the album, it’s a clear conclusion that Tim Camrose has unequivocal musical talent with the capability to create music that brings out different emotions, while keeping each song engaging and exciting.

An album more than worth your time, with each track having something to offer, ‘Half of My Life’ is an album that even the most seasoned musical veteran would be immensely proud of. Versatility, songwriting and vocal delivery all stand out as this album hits all the markers of being a truly great release. More than deserving of a spot in your playlist, ‘Half of My Life’ is ready for you to dive into right away!

Chris Andreucci is set to take up the gauntlet laid down by fellow scots Lewis Capaldi and Paolo Nutini, and command radio waves on both sides of The Atlantic. The Glasgow-based Chris managed to bag himself a record deal with the Nashville label ‘Century Music Group’ in 2019, with the label’s president expressing huge admiration for Chris’s pristine musical talents.

Despite not yet releasing a full studio album, Chris has already performed at some of Scotland’s most prestigious venues like the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, where a little band called Oasis were first discovered. 2020 was set to be the year of Chris Andreucci, with plans for major festival dates, as well as his intention to move out to Nashville to try and conquer the American soundwaves, but COVID-19 intervened.

“2020 has been a crazy year. It was set to be a year full of highs – a performance at C2C Festival at The Hydro in Glasgow alongside my favourite artists such as Luke Combs, an EP launch and then a move out to
Nashville in July. But in reality, like so many other people, the year was filled with lows. All my shows were cancelled or rescheduled due to COVID and as a direct result of this my visa application fell through as I had
no activities lined up”. – Chris Andreucci

All of Chris’ plans for 2020 were thrown on the scrap heap, but he will not be deterred in fulfilling his boundless potential with the release of his new EP ‘What Don’t Kill You’.

What Don’t Kill You boasts an enormous range of instrumentation, with ragingly brisk electric guitars and thundering vocals on the opening track ‘Here Comes The Rain’. Complementing this sound is a more tender acoustic guitar on the track ‘Thunderstorms and Rain’.

Overall, it’s the songs ‘Tonight I’m Yours’ and ‘Freedom’ that are the EP’s procurement. This is where Chris Andreucci showcases his instinctive ability to craft powerful tales of modern day romance. This EP is very mercurial and covers all spheres of the emotional spectrum, from being very uplifting in ‘The Only Love That Never Broke My Heart’, to creating a devastating, sorrowful tale of a break-up in ‘Drinking Song’.

2020 was meant to be the year that Chris Andreucci broke into the mainstream and I believe if it wasn’t for COVID, he would have fulfilled his destiny. Still, I have a feeling that 2021 will be the year that Chris Andreucci joins the dynasty of great Scottish musicians who have conquered the world.

Track List

1. Here Comes The Rain
2. Tonight I’m Yours
3. Drinking Song
4. Thunderstorms & Rain
5. The Only Love That Never Broke My Heart
6. Freedom

Anita Gabrielle has been making folk music since the late 1960s, when her brother Michael introduced her to the powerful sounds of Joni Mitchell.

Her talent blended with her supreme work ethic saw her achieve national coverage in the 1980s with her band The Crew. She has also supported seminal artists such as Divine and Labi Siffre.

Anita has always strived to have a broad musical pallet. She has incorporated acoustic rock and pop into her music through her collaborations with artists like ZeNaNa and The Favourite Aunties.

However, ever since her brother was tragically diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease last year, Anita has made it her primary mission to enhance research into the disease through her latest EP ‘Just Neat’.

This EP is comprised of 6 wonderful tracks that were materialised during lockdown, with the intention of raising funds for Parkinson’s disease research. The EP’s leading single ‘Best Friends’ is a soothing experience fronted by Anita’s ethereal vocals, tranquil guitar licks and piano riffs.

‘Just Neat’ also saw Anita get the incredible chance to work with Grammy award winning Amy Wadge, who has previously collaborated with Ed Sheeran. Amy’s gentle vocals and her innate ability on the piano serve as a valuable addition to EP’s sound.

Anita says of Amy:

“Obviously, I was absolutely thrilled to be supported by someone with the credentials of an artist like Amy, who not only has worked with Ed Sheeran but many other major artists such as Camila Cabello and Lady
Antebellum too”

Anita is also a dedicated campaigner for older women’s rights and LGBTQ+ issues, humorously describing herself as a ‘dyke in a hat’.

if that’s not enough, Anita has recently fought off a cancer scare, with the removal of a kidney and hip replacement; her burning desire and enthusiasm for life is evident in her wonderfully melodic songs. Go and check out ‘Just Neat’ if you haven’t already!

All money will go to Parkinson’s research and Anita has also set up a Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/anita-gabrielle

Like many who have had to adapt their plans due to Covid-19, his appearance at the ‘Country 2 Country festival’ at the SSE Hydro and his opportunity to move were cruelly snatched away, leaving him wondering how he would still make it in the country world. However, Chris never lets setbacks stop his ambition, and he’s pushed on to release his long-awaited EP ‘What Don’t Kill You’.

Chris has already had a country career that’s enough to make anyone jealous, having performed headline shows at Glasgow’s iconic venue King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and the Celtic Connections show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. His new EP has been 12 months in the making and puts a distinctly fresh twist on classic country.

Kicking off with the bouncy beat of ‘Here Comes The Rain’, Chris’ warm vocals have a distinct twang, transporting you straight to the Wild West on a journey of catchy, authentic country music. Moving throughout the EP, we have the touching, laid back love song ‘Tonight I’m Yours’ , and the instant earworm ‘Drinking Song’ with heart-warming lyrics encouraging you to keep on keeping on, regardless of what life throws your way.

Chris’ thoughtful lyrics continue into the gentle ‘Thunderstorms and Rain’, before the EP picks up again with the upbeat ‘The Only Love That Never Broke My Heart’ where he expresses his love for music. Finally, the EP comes to a close with the classic country sound of ‘Freedom’ which will have you wanting to listen to the EP over and over again.

Speaking of his struggles throughout 2020, Chris explained:

“2020 has been a crazy year. It was set to be a year full of highs – a performance at C2C Festival at The
Hydro in Glasgow alongside my favourite artists such as Luke Combs, an EP launch and then a move out to
Nashville in July. But in reality, like so many other people, the year was filled with lows. All my shows were
cancelled or rescheduled due to COVID and as a direct result of this my visa application fell through as I had
no activities lined up. In addition, the social distancing measures and restrictions in place slowed down the
EP release process. I’ve been fortunate enough to still be able to do something that I love and I’m hopeful
that next year things will slowly get back to normal. I’m looking forward to playing the rescheduled C2C gig
in Glasgow as well as the Texas Scottish Festival, in Decatur next May.”

Chris Andreucci

With big things coming in 2021, Chris is clearly one to watch for lovers of all things country. Make sure to follow him on social media to be the first to hear ‘What Don’t Kill You’ when it is released on December 21st.
