The EP delivers a fresh take on contemporary country, blending traditional sounds with a modern twist. There’s something about the way that Barnes sings that speaks to influences from Britpop in a way, an Oasis twinge perhaps. The absolute standout track is the closer here; ‘Still Believe In Crazy Love’ captures Barnes’ ability to create …
Nathan, your debut studio EP ‘Uncovered Vol. 1’ features a collection of covers that pay homage to Northern Irish songwriting. What drew you to focus on reinterpretations rather than original compositions for this debut? I ran a night in Belfast called Songbook for 6 years that showcased local songwriters with the backing of an …
‘Leave the Light On’ has a compelling blend of roots and Americana. What was the core inspiration behind this track, and how did the creative process unfold? The song was inspired by a specific occasion when I missed my train home from London and had a huge wave of guilt as I had been away …
Eric, your newest single ‘Shadow of a Man’ is an upbeat track that lyrically delves into the struggles of losing yourself.

That is, as ever with Devries, the music is still upbeat and dance-able, …
This was an unexpected album. Daly absolutely shines on this record, the lyricism and high-tension delivery of the opener ‘Ain’t Got A Cape’ is the perfect sad country track. Clearly taking some inspiration from his Americana peers, Daly rests on his talent, it creates space between his vocal line and acoustic guitar throughout the album. …
Mix some Sheryl Crow and Shania Twain together and you get this track. Unabashedly tongue-in-cheek, ‘Cats Over Men’ isn’t just funny, it’s aimed as a political takedown. By the time the pre-chorus comes, the downstrokes of guitar build the track to its titular line: ‘Sorry, but it’s cats over men’. Witty rhymes like ‘my calico …
Rosa, your track ‘Universe’ has resonated with so many people worldwide. What inspired you to create a Hindi rendition, and how do you feel it adds to the song’s universal appeal? Doing multiple versions in different languages is my way of saying thank you to my fans around the World. Each language has its tone …
