Hey, I know it's the Daily Star, but Fable has been picked as one of their 'Ones To Watch' in 2022, and a Rising Star. Hopefully not in the Mayuka sense.... https://www.dailystar.co.uk/music/g...e4C-09aTfVMVl20WmLIe6IIztmxJFgFAN_BtXWqiCL0EU
That's such a good Christmas song, one of my favorites. Another one of my favourites is I feel like this song is so evocative, so nostalgic. It takes you back to a time when you're walking together with your partner along the cold streets before Christmas, it's night time but the glow of Christmas lights fill the sky, blues and reds and greens and purples, shining like little stars, with the kind of atmosphere that you only get around Christmas, where all your cares fly away for a brief time and nothing matters but here and now. I also like the visuals of the video from around 3:10 onwards.
As we are now in the depths of December, here's one that you can freely dance around to in the privacy of the living room. Roy Ayers - In The Dark - YouTube
And something much more up to date. Cindy Bradley - Surrender - YouTube Listen to it and I wonder who she has been influenced by!!! Very beautiful!!!!
Wow, what a collection of guitars Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen has, it must be worth a small fortune!..
"But Laces", I hear you cry. "What was your album of the year?" Well, seeing as you ask. Lady Blackbird is by a stretch my album of the year. If you don't know her, you should. She's everything Adele isn't. Channeling her inner Nina Simone, it's an extraordinary record. I think even Ian will like it. Have a bit of this for starters -
"Okay Laces, but then what was your second favourite album?" Thanks for asking. It was The Art Of Losing by The Anchoress. An incredibly personal, painful album examining pretty much everything about being a modern woman, including this beautiful but agonising track about her own experience of sexual abuse.
