Sinead O’Connor: Little Noise Sessions @ St John-at-Hackney

London, 27th November

It is not unusual for a Priest to address a church congregation on a Sunday.  However, if the preacher appeared dressed in leather you may be aware that this could be a rather unpredictable sermon. Sinead O’Connor’s tumultuous relationship with Christianity – her strong faith but distrust of its earthly institutions – was perfectly framed by the venue, St John-at-Hackney. Her previous album was entitled Theology, she caused controversy by being ordained as a Priest by an independent [...]

Goodluck Jonathan- The future’s got no love for us

By on Nov 30, 2011 in Reviews, Singles

This is a mellow indie track from Goodluck Jonathan. They have a quintessentially British sound, with lead singer Nick Brookes’ English accent seeping through the rather forlorn lyrics and the guitar riffs a little reminiscent of that early 1990s Britpop sound. This track has a dance vibe to it with the syncopated drums and the subtle electro touches. The song begins slowly but momentum slowly builds throughout the track with crashing drums, layered vocals. A highpoint of this track is [...]

It will be officially released on the 5th of December, but until then fans can enjoy the unique video created by Paul Callanan which reflects the dreamy, whimsical nature of this song perfectly. “Mystery” begins with a confident drum beat which is soon followed by soft guitars and piano which lay the foundations for Scannell’s stunning vocals.
