Out on July 10th, Dean Phillips’ “Just Kids” is a symphony of ethereal imagery. Phillips’ vocals are simply charming and really excel on this track. No heavy production or thumping drumbeats overtake his charisma, “just kids out on the run”. With a narrative that echoes that of Anne Marie’s “2002” and Sheeran’s “Castle on The […]

The Covasettes’ Debut E.P. “It’s Always Sunny Above the Clouds” was released on 5th July 2019 and may well be destind to become a soundtrack of your summer.

The crescendos build fantastically, the vocals are delightful and the backing music slides from raucous to smooth, especially in the bridge where the effects on the vocal […]
