In The Spotlight

Naomi Connell – “Strangers”

Hailing from the Gold Coast, this Australian folk singer and songwriter felt the need to sing every chance she got, while growing up. Listening to the varied sounds of Destiny’s Child, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, she honed her vocal skills and taught herself to play guitar. She debuted with “Draped In Wine” in 2019 and won the 2020 Tamworth Country Music Festival Busking Championship.

Proving that all you need to create pure musical magic is an acoustic guitar and a bewitching voice, her new single is an intimate, velvety soft ballad. Instantly alluring from the intricate guitar play, she shows her impressive songwriting prowess singing about lovers who become strangers. Wrapped in tender elegance and an emotional vulnerability, this luscious tune is one you want to know.

Marble Eyes – “You Can’t Fool Me”

Dubbed the ‘Rock & Roll For The Soul’ supergroup, this quartet fused together members of other bands to bring a burst of positive energy to the pandemic. Consisting of Eric Gould (Pink Talking Fish), Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu), Mike Carter (The Indobox) and Max Chase (Amulus), they penned over 50 songs together during lockdown. They debuted their retro-rock sound on “Tollbooth” last month.

Adding a funky vibe to invigorating, 70s-inspired rock, their new single certainly gets the blood pumping. Taken from their upcoming debut album “Return To The Roses”, expected on October 21, it’s the unrelenting rhythm and the vintage howl of the electric guitars that packs this jam with pure energy. And with some mighty vocals singing about relationship trust, this is rousing rock at its best.
