    Here you go chaps and chapesses. The (excellent) video is live now, and looks like Audrey Hepburn crossed with a spider. Go and give the girl some love.

    Cheers Dave. It's a tough one this, as after Orbiting, this one hasn't really taken with the gods of Spotify etc which is REALLY frustrating!

    Still, I know what's coming next, so I'm confident!

    I preferred the previous single after the first listen but maybe this will be a grower, there is a touch of the Kate Bush's about her movement in the video.

    Orbiting is probably the better song, but we're staggering which ones we release. The next one is killer.

    We wanted to do a vid where people can 'see' her.

    Two great Songwriting Composer and Producers from an equally great era of music were born on this day...

    Happy 93rd birthday to the King of Easy Listening Orchestral Pop, Burt Bacharach and who better to sing one of his classic songs than the wonderful Dusty Springfield...

    The late, great Motown legend Norman Whitfield was born on this day in 1940.
    He was a pioneer of Psychedelic Soul with social commentary, writing classics for The Temptations among others...

    It's 50 years since the release of Rod the Mod's breakthrough solo album, the stone cold classic Every Picture Tells a Story. I absolutely love his early stuff with The Faces too...

    Fable is a Devon-based singer-songwriter with a mesmerising voice, who’s been producing some really fantastic neo-soul/trip-hop gems. She released her latest single, “Womb”, at the end of April, which leaps from a Portishead/Tricky-style lull into a snarling rock guitar riff. Check out my Q&A with Fable below:

    Hi! Tell me about yourself

    Hey, my name is Fable, I’m a 25 year old singer/songwriter. Right now, I’m living in my home county of Devon where I’m making music remotely and working a full-time job packing vegetables at a farm. That’s rock n’ roll right now! Music is one of my many loves but the one that incorporates all of them. I signed to Naim last year, a small independent and I’m sitting on an album getting vinyl splinters.

    Growing up, playing gigs was a huge part of my teenage years - I bought my first car with the money from a theatre season which I wrote off pretty soon afterwards. When I was 19, I moved to Brighton after meeting my manager, and I started collaborating with other musicians like Trip-Hop collective, Archive, and Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll, who I met down the pub in Hove. Those were my growing years. I’ve been focused yet completely scattered my whole life. I’m all about variety and clashing patterns - I like to think of life as a far-out piece of theatre and I think my eclectic nature comes out in what I create.

    – What are the influences and inspirations behind this new music?

    I think there’s two edges to it, there’s a jazz influence in the vocal and the latest single, ‘Womb’, has a glossy dub feel. It’s also a formulaic structure that makes it still fit the pop sensibilities too. I wrote the whole album with the super-talented Swedish producer, Jonas Persson. I’ve always loved the ground where artists like Portishead and Radiohead sit. I don’t particularly want to be part of any trend, I just want to incorporate all the music I love into something that makes sense and is meaningful. There’s a nod to understated subtlety, and a cinematic quality to the rest of the album.

    – What's on your playlist right now?

    Right now I’m listening to a lot of Arlo Parks, like I’m sure everyone is, but she’s truly amazing. Genuine class. A recent track by an artist that really stuck out for me is ‘Collage’ by Lady Blackbird, which is utterly beautiful. Short Paris, from Russia, are also on there, and an amazing track by Aldous Harding called ‘Weight of the Planets’.

    – What do you have lined up for the rest of 2021?

    Well I guess that depends on whether 2021 behaves itself. It’s been so, so hard not being able to tour – that’s actually my favourite part of the process, where you can really develop the songs into something new and live inside them, along with an audience. Hopefully we’ll be able to get back to that soon – we tentatively have a tour being booked across the UK in late September/early October, which will be the time the album gets released. Honestly, I can’t wait.
