In The Spotlight

Chronicles Of Zee – “In Her Eyes”

Hailing from Wolverhampton, this British trio actually started out as an acoustic duo back in 2009. Lead vocalist Des Chirikeni and guitarist Seb Barnes added drummer Leon Brown to complete the line-up. They are an eclectic classic & modern covers band, blending funk, rock, soul and even reggae and that diverse mix of genres is also present in their own, original material.

Their debut single is a prime example of that fabulous fusion of styles. Dipped in Lenny Kravitz-like vibes, it’s a slick pop song generously laden with infectious 90s rock influences. With a funky rhythm, lively electric rock guitar and impressive soul-infused vocals, it’s a vibrant feel-good musical experience which will definitely have you buzzing like a honey-bee for days to come.

Sophie Coran – “Feel It All”

When you ask for a piano at the tender age of two, it’s clear that music is in your blood. This singer, songwriter and pianist from Philadelphia graduated from the Manhattan School Of Music and performed live both at home as in London, New York and Copenhagen and recently in Sofar Sounds. She enlisted local band Darla to create a full-orchestral sound for her EP “All That Matters”.

The EP’s second track is like a smoky bar where soul and pop meet up with jazz and blues and make beautiful music together. With perky piano, blazing brass, infectious percussion and a vintage organ setting the scene for her sultry, jazz-laced vocals to shine and a riveting sax solo putting the cherry on top, it’s a stunningly intoxicating song brimming with seductive elegance and style.
