In The Spotlight

Omar Coleman – “Strange Times”

Born and raised in Chicago, this singer and songwriter grew up immersed in soul music. Initially working as a barber, he found himself in the music shop at quiet times, where he fell in love with the harmonica. Spicing up pure authentic blues with funk and soul revival elements since 2010 and inspired by blues legends like Buddy Guy and Howlin’ Wolf, he released his 2015 album “Born & Raised”.

Reflecting on the modern state of the world amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, his new single takes the relatable lyrics and pours them into a bath of blues. Being greeted by a classic blues guitar riff, it’s soon joined by a funkier take on blues. Recorded on tape on an analog Tascam 388, it’s the organic sound of the organ and brass as well as his raw and fierce vocals, that make this hot jam blues magic.

In The Spotlight

Molly Burman – “Fool Me With Flattery”

When you are born with a father who was a performing bass player, a mother who was an Irish singer and a respected jazz musician as a granddad, a career in music was always on the cards. This British singer/songwriter wrote her first song with her father when she was 6 years young and hasn’t long finished music college. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, she blends emotional lyricism with indie pop.

Making a carefully crafted melody sound effortless, her debut single tackles misogyny with a laid-back vibe and razor-sharp lyrics. With a driving rhythm, vintage-dipped guitar plucks and dreamy harmonies painting an auditory landscape, it’s her dazzling vocals merging a sixties sound with a modern edge while expressing the relatable caustic words, that make this debut worth every form of flattery.
