Alice Ray – “Why Is It We Fight Like This?”

Hailing from the serene countryside of Norfolk, but now based in the hustle & bustle of London, this British singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has an impressive talent for genuine storytelling. With influences ranging from Bob Dylan to Elton John and Joni Mitchell to Stevie Nicks, she debuted her poignant lyrics and lush, vintage-touched instrumentation with “I See You” earlier this year.

Painting an auditory picture, note for note, her new single is an instant work of art. Taken from her EP “Lost In The Dark”, which is released today, she brushes on a vintage shade from the organ and a tinge of modernity from the electric guitar, all infused with the hues of the galvanic drums. But it’s the bewitching quality of her sugary-sweet vocals that make this jam sound absolutely extraordinary.

In The Spotlight

Dorian Grace – “The Colouring”

As the product of a scientific experiment in the 80s, this up-and-coming British singer/songwriter, who had toured all over the world, was frozen in time in 1989, only to be reanimated 30 years later. The aim of the experiment was to find out whether the music of the time would still be current decades later. He was given a home studio and got to work on creating an album blending neon with new.

Giving 80s pop an insatiable rock edge, his new single bursts onto your ears with ravenous retro gusto. With a pulsating beat, fiery guitars and searing synths oozing their brightly coloured vintage vibes and feeding a sense of positivity, it’s his classic and raw-edged vocals which complete this sonic journey to yesteryear. Exuberant and packed with pizzazz, he captured the 80s in a single track.
