Let Us Grieve - an opinion piece

EP Review: Belong - Pia Toscano

Welcome back Pia Toscano, it's been way too long. Pia has one of those truly unique voices, strong and powerful but also with lovely, beautiful soft tones. How she is not a mega star is beyond me! Pia's new EP, "Belong" is quite simply perfect - in so many ways!

EP Review: Miss You - Gabrielle Aplin

It seems EP's are back "in vogue". It seems like a great way of getting out new music as albums aren't selling as well. And I love listening to an EP, it always leaves you wanting more.
