In The Spotlight

Martyn Scott – “Lazy Days And Lullabies”

Hailing from Rotherham, this British musician has been playing for over 21 years. Firstly a guitarist, he is skilled on most band-based instruments. He started in a band called The Shakes at 17 and toured the clubs. Drawing inspiration from bands like The Beatles, The Smiths and The Stone Roses, he used lockdown to write, record and self-release his debut album “Maybe Just Maybe” in 2021.

Expertly crafted by blending 60s and 70s-styled pop-rock and a touch of britpop in a heartfelt sonic brew, his new single is an euphoric nostalgic groove. Easing into the song with an acoustic guitar, it soon ascends with a slide guitar and mellow drums. Joined by some sweet violins, it’s his harmonic vocals and the crisp guitar solo that give this feel-good, retro-dipped tune a catchy sophistication.

In The Spotlight

Theresa Gorella – “House Of Broken Mirrors”

Born in California, this singer and songwriter studied at the Long Island University in Brooklyn, before moving to Nashville to pursue her music. While she was waitressing at Nashville’s famous venues, she saw performances of the likes of Vince Gill, Beth Hart and Andra Day. She formed an indie-funk band Poster Child with Andrew Royal. Now returning to her country roots, she started a solo project.

Singing about the times she needed self-reflection after giving up on herself and the bad choices she made, her solo debut single is a pastiche of musical influences. Creating a lusciously mellow soundscape, she blends Americana, 70s ballads and soul-laced vocals into an ear-stroking sonic brew. With twinkly keys and stirring guitar licks, this nostalgic tune is filled with rich, authentic vibes.
