Reflection on what happened in 2010 and my thoughts for 2011

I'm in the mood to look back on my highs and lows of 2010n it has been an interesting year one that will be remembered. It started with me asleep in bed with my ex Matthew Malone who I wanted to kill because he made my life hell. Then I left him to stay with my birth mother for 3 months in that time I started my modelling career and became the manager of the artist Redstrype.

I also had started to go out clubbing and enjoy the London nightlife. I then decided in March to give Matthew another chance at working on our relationship and it went from occasional slap to full out warfare leaving me permanently scarred. Then in late June I snapped and left him and fled London for the refuge of Scotland and lived with my grandparents and elder sister.
Started college again and made lots of friends and contacts. Fell in love with Paul and fell out of it when I realised I couldn't trust someone who doesn't trust me. Then a few days meet Dylan who made me realise that I found someone who supports and trusts me and wants to willing be involved in my career. Which for me is difficult as sometimes I either neglect the work or relationship.

Trying to find the balance has been hard but now I am getting the hang of it, I can continue in the new year with this new habit and routine. I have also learnt that no matter how ugly I find the scars littering my body, my true beauty comes from within. I am now a stronger and more sure person, I will follow my dreams with dogged determination.

My dreams, goals, plans for 2011 consist of being on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, getting a degree in Drama and help launch and promote the music careers of others through my blog, focusing on lesser known and underground artists.

I am extremely grateful to every person who has supported me through the year, the list is endless but they know who they are. I am also grateful to every person across the globe who has read my blog, without you guys I wouldn't keep this blog alive. My average views per day is a hundred and because of this I will blog more often and actually write about myself intimately and professionally so I can inspire those to follow the same dreams as men and also have more interviews and reviews for you too.

My philosophy for 2011 is reach for the sky and fall amongst the stars. It is my readers and supporters that keep me grounded so thank you, you will always be in my heart. I can feel this year is going to be my year where I will become a household name, I am nearly there thanks to everyone. All I ask of you is to try to retweet or favourite my page and post to social network sites.

Much love and success to you all for 2011.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - KAIZ LA KAZIE

This is a long awaited interview with one of the big stars of 2011 - Miss Kaiz La Kazie of East London. Enjoy and feel inspired because its nice for once to have an interview with a female grime artist and my favourite at that.

1. What inspired you to get into the grime scene?

 

I make my own genre, bubble grime, and it is totally based on the old school early noughties grime when I heard Kano, Wiley and Dizzee.. D Double E.. the list goes on ☺ 

2. How old were you when you first heard grime? and where were you?

 

I was around 12, I got lent a mix cd with all the classics on there like "Birds in the sky"[D Double E], "Boys love girls"[Kano].. "pumpum riddim".. it totally fucked up my world I must say… then that kano mixtape was good.. beats n bars .. that was special..

 

3. If you could collaborate with anyone in the scene who would it be?

 

Wow it would totally be Diz.. I play his 1st n 2nd   albums when I'm in the shower getting ready 4 work like every day.. trust.  

4. Where's the strangest place you have created bars?

 

Probably that time I was sittin in the bathtub with some Baileys ;) but really? Anywhere possible..

 

5. What is your favourite tune you have created?

 

Erm… I like my real Bubble grime stuff.. anything that I have produced by myself im usually very proud of … I love making my own beats and knowing that its my own sound, not what someone else visualized.. if that makes sense

 

6. Who are your influences?

 

I love anyone that puts the work in, makes weird funny emotional sounds.. and writes about unusual stuff. I hate Clichés. When I hear a song, I want a verse to grow on me, so that when I sing it back to myself I realise the meanin of the words and go.. fuck! That's real clever..

 

7. If you didn't get into the music scene what would you rather do?

 

Well I'm a catering assistant [dinnerlady] now.. and I'm doin a fuckin great job..

I did want to work as a loan manager, but I'm sort of useless with numbers..

 

8. How much of your life and background influenced what you spit and write?

 

Well.. it is kind of boring that I'm a working class kid that has been brought up with middle class values.. I'm sorry.. not many legendary tales of the ghetto in my life.. I keep it real.. and real for me is working all day.. writing, performing and recording all night.. but I put all of that in my bars. Everyone feels pain. Everyone feels happiness. So that's what I write about all day. I mean, when I lived in archway I wrote the most resonant stuff coz that's what surrounded me. The way it could have crack heads, chicken burgers and the BMW's all on one street. How can you not write about that? 

 

9. What tunes would you recommend to someone who has never listened to your music?

 

I would recommend that they listen to "Washing Powder" if they are in a blissful joyous mood, "Why Not" If they are feelin kinda lost.. "Tomorrow Morning"  if they are high in the sky.. [btw I don't encourage drug use [much] lol]

"Today" if they feeling insecure, "Invisible" If they are feelin broken, "I Like You" If they are feelin in love .. and the whole of Failure if they're really depressed. Hearing my high ass voice whingeing about how awful life is will make anyone feel better lol

 

10. Have there been any women in your life that have been an inspiration to you musically?

 

Miss Dynamite, Lauryn Hill, Jean Grae, Kate Tempest, oh my god the list goes on for years.. They all inspire different aspects of my creativity.

 

11. What advice would you give to anyone who wants to get into the scene?

 

Just keep going to events, pushing, promoting, calling, performing, even when it feels like no-one wants you.. they will eventually. And never doubt yourself. Coz if you do, then they will.

 

12. Is there anyone in the scene you respect and anyone you also hate?

 

Loads of people have my respect… I do have to give it to the female artists that work so hard to be equal whilst appearing composed, immaculate, flawless, when the harshest comments are dealt, or when the biggest discriminations are apparent. I think that everyone deserves their voice to be heard, I don't think hating on anyone is relevant..  

 

13. Do you think that grime could survive if MCs didn't spit about violence and the degradation of women?

 

Well.. it seems nowadays people are realizing that spittin like that doesn't get them ratings and they look a lil bit silly.. so they're movin on from topics like those.. grime has been around for just under 10 years now,  so I believe grime will survive and make it big.. lets just hope the right people carry it on their backs!

 

14. Do you think that drugs play a major role in the scene for instance spitting about weed or even posing with a joint?

 

Sometimes. Earlier in like 2003 etc, it was just standard to have a leetle spleef n spit a few bars wid ur mates in the block, but I suppose grime has grown up, its more gonna kick back with a glass of rum n coke now. Mmm rum n coke.. or Malibu n coke … yum..

 

15. What do you think of the grime artists who have gone commercial like NDubz, Tinchy Stryder, Plan B, Chipmunk and Wiley? Do you think that has helped grime or killed it?

 

Well I appreciate that they have made their journeys into the mainstream. This genre is being acknowledged and finally becoming a lot more established…

 

16. Describe your average day as an artist.

 

Ok. It goes like this. I listen to my existing mixtapes on the way to work, look at people around see if they would look like they'd enjoy it. Think about existing tunes and concepts I have already. Then I'd visualise bars at work, you know, between microwaving, mopping and laundry etc, repeat them over till I leave and find my phone to write it all down. Then I get home, record a version which I always mark as rough but then get lazy and mix it and call it finished, then ring my manager or my bestie to discuss plans for the newest mixtape and/or tune. I have like 350 unreleased tunes.

 

17. Do you think that within the scene there is a lot of racism or do you tend to stay away from it?

 

Yeah I don't think so, but I don't think I've experienced that problem blatantly..

 

18. who is the favourite MC/Producer you have worked with?

 

CD Spinz jeez…. He gets the job done. Simple. My fave producers are HdN and Whyrez, without a doubt baybee… I love people who can just get things done without long excuses :D

 

19. As an MC do you see what you write as a form of poetry/spoken word? Does poetical devices even get thought about when you're writing?

 

Yes of course. I always explore different techniques and methods of writing n performing. Absolutely love it.. I mean I have been trained and challenged from a young age to experiment with form and so im constantly finding new techniques etc.

 

20. Are there any female MCs that you think could be bigger than some of the biggest male MCs at the moment?

 

WOW. Big question. I think female MC's, and im not just saying this because I'm one, usually back themselves up with some substance, some real metaphorical bars, some emotional bars, and they got something to say. I mean im sick of that stifled rudegal shit that girls get compared to, angry, or stupid, or sketty, or quiet. I admire females that say what the fuck they want to, what needs to be heard. Fully got Lioness, Lady L, Envy, Shystie, Nolay, Miss Dynamite's tunes on repeat. The list goes on really, there's so many that I know of, but there isn't enough space. Guys, be warned, we might just steal that thunder lol!

 

21. What's your opinion about postcode wars in london, does it affect your music in any way shape or form, like who you would collaborate with or clash with?

 

I've moved house too many times to care. Its pointless and if you're gonna be repping a lil code that people put on letters, then u need to let that go. London's to live in. How can someone say if I can or can't go somewhere? What if I need to buy toilet paper?

 

22. If you were stuck on a desert island which 3 people and 5 objects/possessions would you take with you and why?

 

3 people, my bestie.. and ill figure out the rest later..who needs too many people? and 5 possesions, my dvd player, my peepshow dvd[and ill hide the inbetweeners inside the case so its still one item] my lyrics oh tons of lyrics, possibly a boat so I can get back n go sainsburys and a damn kitten. Why wont anyone buy me a kitten?

 

23. What is your secret musical guilty pleasure?

 

Oh don't tell ANYONE but for a treat ill watch MTV then be forced to listen to rihanna or even at a push nikki minaj at a really low volume. Then obviously punish myself for weeks.. The real Kaiz La Kazie would die before playing them.

 

24. if you had to be described as anything what would it be?

 

Well.. uh, an eccectic bubble grime MC and up-coming artist etc..

 

25. Most people would consider grime artists as ignorant due to their target audience, do you find that because of this people are actually surprised when you talk because you have a wider vocabulary than expected?

Yeah all the time lmao.. I try not to dumb down my [pretty sharp I must say] content. I mean when it comes to censorship, fine, but I don't feel I should change things to make my tunes PG or something. If I say "pussy" or "twat" in a tune, its probably coz it needs to be there. Why alternate it with "heart" ? I don't mince my words because im 100% real and if you need me diluted, drink some fucking OJ.

 

26. Do you think that the way you dress makes you look predictably like a MC?

No.. I dress most days as a catering assistant, I haven't seen an MC wearing latex gloves n whites lol.. I just try not to be too much "like a mandem" coz im a girl. Obviously. But I'm not a slut. I'm right in that sick slice of middle. There's me.

 

27. If you had to chose between your wifey or your mandem if there was a fight who would you back and why?

 

Choose my wifey all the way mate. Erm..on a real? Nah. I'm not a wimp but I don't do fights.

 

28. What are your views on the following - Women, drugs, violence and the police?

 

Yum, perfect Saturday night.

 

29. Where do you see yourself career wise in the next 5 years?

In an elevated position from where I am now. Hopefully still with that same ambition, that same passion to also enlighten others with what I do as well. I have big plans.

 

30. If you could be signed to any mainstream/independent label on a recording contract who would it be and why?

 

Wowwwwww…… Lets be mysterious now…

 

Kisses…. Kaiz La Kazie <3

Look out for her next mixtape Bricks which is out next year amoungst other big projects like working as my music producer on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This girl is big news and follow her on twitter.com/kaizlakazie and Kaiz La Kazie on facebook.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - EKLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Gravity EP is an EP with no choruses, every tune is freeverse. Production features from Anish Bhatt, Jelacee, Cee Major. 7 tracks. Is out for free download on the 1/1/11. eatst london Rapper, MC and Poet Eklipse. The Cover was Designed by MinezDesignz and the picture was taken and edited by Jessica Morante

1. what inspired you to get into the grime scene?

Initially I never had an interest in grime I was a poet. I moved to s different school after being home schooled and grime was a prominent thing and I wanted to be involved but I never wrote anything. But took a MCing course in the summer of 2007 once and it all kicked off from there.

2. How old were you when you first heard grime? and where were you?

2. When I was about 12, it was at school. Everyone was in the playground just playing tunes off their phones and I liked what I heard.

3. If you could collaborate with anyone in the scene who would it be?

3. In grime? Probably Dot Rotten, every time I listen to his music I feel like I have so much work to do. So working with him would really force me to try and experiment to take my music to different levels. He also spits about a lot of stuff that I can relate to so I definitely think it would be a great collaboration

4. Where's the strangest place you have created bars?

4. The strangest place has to be in the shower. Most of the time I try and sit down and give myself time to write.

5. What is your favourite tune you have created?

5. I don’t really have one to be honest, one of tunes I’m feeling at the moment is my verse on Mary J Blije’s ‘The One’. I feel like I really flowed well with the beat and the concept. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMsIrrnfqzE) In terms of grime, My vocal of Cee Major’s ‘Predator’ is a real favourite of mine too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL08HYSEgNQ ), which is also the first track off The Gravity EP.

6. Who are your influences?

6. I have so many influences. In terms of grime it’ll be people like Dot Rotten, Ghetts, Scorcher, Wiley, J2K, Wretch etc. However The people around me also influence me. In terms of Hip Hop, people like J Cole, Joe Budden, Jay Z, Eminem, Vado and Nipsey Hussle. But singers and whatnot also influence me such as Jazmine Sullivan.

7. If you didn't get into the music scene what would you rather do?

7. I’d be a poet 100%. I still do poetry; I just find music is my preference.

8. How much of your life and background influenced what you spit and write?

8. My life is what I write about. Aspects of my life or what I’m thinking will be in every tune I write about. Its very difficult to write about something that you cant relate to.

9. What tunes would you recommend to someone who has never listened to your music?

9. I would recommend they download The Gravity EP on the 1/1/2011. But in till then just check out the stuff on my youtube account www.youtube.com/themreklipse or to download and to download the Love Struck promo I did which is just 3 remixes of R&B tracks http://www.filefront.com/17362156/Eklipse-Love Struck (The Remixes).zip.

10. Have there been any women in your life that have been an inspiration to you musically?

10. My Mum, as a single parent she inspires me a lot through all the sacrifices she’s made.

11. What advice would you give to anyone who wants to get into the scene?

11. Don’t copy anyone; you should do it for you and your love of the music. And also, just to work as much as possible, even if you’re talented. Consistency is more important.

12. Is there anyone in the scene you respect and anyone you also hate?

12. I respect all the people I’m working with like Cee Major, Jammz, Shemzy Jelacee and Anish Bhatt. I try not to hate anyone but I cant lie some people do annoy me lol.

13. Do you think that grime could survive if MCs didn't spit about violence and the degradation of women?

13. I think it does need more range in terms of what people talk about. But half of the riches rappers in the world ONLY talk about violence and degrading women, so I dont think its down to that 100%.

14. Do you think that drugs play a major role in the scene for instance spitting about weed or even posing with a joint?

14. Partially, Grime is the street and that’s what happens on the streets. You can only rap about what you know about so it’s natural for us to talk about those things.

15. What do you think of the grime artists who have gone commercial like NDubz, Titchy Stryder, Plan B, Chipmunk and Wiley? Do you think that has helped grime or killed it?

15. I think it depends, for me artists like Skepta and Wiley have really helped the scene by trying to chart with songs that still have a grimy feel to them. Songs like ‘Cross My Heart’ and ‘She Likes To’ have really contributed to the scene, not to mention the ‘Hello Good Morning Grime Remix’. But I do feel like some artists have tried to forget about the scene, which will only hinder it.

16. Describe your average day as an artist.

16. Well I’m still at 6th Form so most days I go there and then I come back and try and write.

17. Do you think that within the scene there is a lot of racism or do you tend to stay away from it?

17. I don’t think there’s much racism at all to be honest. If you’re a good artist you’re a good artist.

18. who is the favourite MC/Producer you have worked with?

18. Cee Major, we started around the same time so we’ve grown together, yet we’re very different artist so when we come together to work on a tune its always a madness.

19. As an MC do you see what you write as a form of poetry/spoken word? Does poetical devices even gt thought about when your writing?

19. Yeah 100%, as I said before I started as a poet so poetics take a huge part in my creative process. I feel like if I write something that practically anyone could write then I’m not doing enough.

20. Are there any female MCs that you think could be bigger than some of the biggest male MCs at the moment?

20. There are loads of wicked female MCs like Lioness, Lady Leshurr, No.Lay. I hope there’s more up and coming ones because they really do go in!

21. What's your opinion about postcode wars in london, does it affect your music in any way shape or form, like who you would collaborate with or clash with?

21. Post code wars are nothing but damaging. Everyone has a connection to someone in a different area so its just never ending. In terms of my music, yeah it has an impact because if I work with certain artists I know people they have beef with may have an issue with it, so it can be difficult.

22. If you were stuck on a desert island which 3 people and 5 objects/possessions would you take with you and why?

22. I’m gonna be dumb and pretend there’s electricity on the island lol. My iMac, so I have music and I can write, my headphones so I can ignore the other 3 people when I need to lol, and unlimited amount of KFC chicken, a blanket for the winter and a microphone so I can record. The people? 2 of my closest friends and Meagan Goode lol.

23. What is your secret musical guilty pleasure?

23. I don’t really have one you know, apart from junk food before each session lol.

24. if you had to be described as anything what would it be?

24. Hardworking. Hopefully lol.

25. Most people would consider grime artists as ignorant due to their target audience, do you find that because of this people are actually surprised when you talk because you have a wider vocabulary than expected?

25. All the time, people have such a warped perception of grime they find it shocking that I can actually read. But as the genre expands its getting better.

26. Do you think that the way you dress makes you look predictably like a MC?

26. Not really, I have quite a varied wardrobe so depending on where I’m going I’ll dress accordingly so nobody could really guess that I’m an MC.

27. If you had to chose between your wifey or your mandem if there was a fight who would you back and why?

27. Well I’m single at the moment so my mandem 100%. But if I had a girl friend it would probably still be my mandem because when my guys are fighting its serious. With girls a bit of hair might be lost but that’s it lol.

28. What are your views on the following - Women, drugs, violence and the police?

28. Women, I don’t trust the majority of them but as a man I can only love them lol. Drugs, weed is the furthest you should go. Violence use it appropriately when need be. Police, lets not get me started.

29. Where do you see yourself career wise in the next 5 years?

29. Signed to an independent label hopefully. If I’m lucky maybe a mainstream label.

30. If you could be signed to any mainstream/independent label on a recording contract who would it be and why?

30. Probably Island because of the freedom that they give to artists like Tinchy, NDubz And Devlin. But as long as a label is willing to market you correctly and give you direction alongside enough creative freedom its all good.


People I suggest you download the Gravity album when its released, but in the meantime go download the Love Struck promo because it is awesome. WATCH THIS SPACE for the Gravity download link!!!!!!

Unable to upload images onto blog so check out this link - http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc440/JazzleDunne/Work%20-%20EKLIPSE/

Do you still actually talk to people from Hampstead?

Not really just in passing, wih the exception of a few not mentioning names.

Ask me anything

WHAT DOES JAZZLE STAND FOR

Jazzle doesn't stand for anything, but was created a few years ago when we had to create nicknames for ourselves in Jazz band and I wanted to dzzle and have a good razzle and being a poet I rhymed it and I love the chocolate Jazzles too

Ask me anything

DO YOU LOVE MATT

No I did but he turnt out to be the worst mistake in my life

Ask me anything

Eklipse!

Just found out this month the Eklipse will be doing an exclusive interview with me very soon and will be releaing his new E.P on New Years Day, called Gravity, it will have 3 grime tracks... 3 hip hop tracks..... production features from Cee Major, Delio Lima Of High Frequency, Anish Bhatt Of High Frequency and Jelacee... It Will Be A Free Download! What more could you ask to start the new year on in the recession to!!!!!!

For those of you who dont know who Eklipse is, he started as a performing artist and had his poetry published at 14 and his mum is also a poet and spoken word artist. He is an amazing performer who perform rarely at th Roundhouse in Camden which is where he made his name with many other young artiss like Kaiz La Kazie, myself and was mentored under the spectacular Jacob Sam La Rose. If you ever ge a chance to see im perform treasure it as it is a rare oppurtunity. Outside of his career he is a lovely charming and sweet young man with a great sense of humour.

Producer Alert for 2011

Look out for Cee Major a fantastic producer who has worked with artists like Maxsta, Dolla da dustman, Darkz and many more. Not only that he is a MC as well, bit more laid back flow than most Grime MCs. I know Mr Cee Major through a mutual friend and am aquainted with him via Facebook and Twitter. I would suggest you check him out on Youtube username is majorvision.
On first sight you would not think he was a producer or MC with his glasses but that is what makes him recognisable as well as being white. As there is a minority of white artists on the Grime scene especially on the underground scene. He is a hard working polite and friendly individual with an amazing ear for what works well when you think it wouldn't. His collection of beats vary from futuristic to Jazz with grime beats.
GO CHECK HIM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

find him on Facebook and twitter too look for Cee Major on my twitter and facebook xxxx

Re - Invention Ragz Originale MIXTAPE REVIEW!!!!!!

Ragz Originale is one of the top London Underground artists, who not only spits barz but can produce too. This mixtape is about reinvention of who he is and reinventing grime as a popular genre. A guest on BBC1 Xtra fire in the booth many a time and known nationally to as far as Scotland and Ireland, he is a shy and funny guy with a hardworking streak in private.

TRACK LISTING

The episode - Very chilled and deep lyrically, one of my favourite tracks on the album.

stay down - slow jam style, perfect track for just sitting with your mates and smoking to it, as you bop your head to the beat and sing along too.

ok (shut ‘em down) - The lines on this are deep but humorous it’s the type of track you have to listen to more than once simply because it’s that deep.

zone out - I suggest you listen to this track with your eyes shut and zone out, because this track is picturesque and takes you into his mind.

Ready to go - Damn this guy gets better track by track, I’m sure there are quite a few girls who listen to this and wish they were linking him cause he is respectful and sounds like he would make Valentines day perfect. (Just my professional musical opinion!)

Drinks on me - A proper party/club tune about alcohol and it being an exclusive night out. It’s a tune you can dance to slowly almost like your intoxicated.

gothic (level up) - I love the beat of this tune, its dark and grimy. His lyrics are mind-blowing, where does he get some of these lines, with the dashes of irony?

meaning of life - Old school hip hop style, makes you want to join in on the chorus.

Hustle - Self explanatory and honest, I love it because it’s a tune you can throw your lighter up at. Any one who has seen enough Grime videos can see a brill video playing in their head almost Giggs style.

lets roll - Sick drum beat, the use of piano is unusual but works surprisingly well. A song about him and his ladies, cheeky but not at all crass.

take it slower - Charming track, a proper Grime love song, shows his softer and ladies man side, but shows he wont put up with stupidity.

Competition - Dark Bass intro, a song for any artist who knows how hard the grind is and how it affects the personal and social life.

Talk a little louder - Talking about himself and how he keeps real, another one of my favourites.

Let me go (bonus track) - Littered with popular and funny references, a perfect song for the end of the album it wraps it up beautifully, and leaves you asking some deep personal questions about the artist.

Overall it’s a 4.5 stars for this Grime album, it takes a few listens to get into it but is brilliant once you get into it.

EXCLUSIVE ALBUM REVIEW - Marion - Great Escape

Sorry this was suppose to be up a month ago but I had too much to do for college and such like. So here it is Marions' album Great Escape, a RnB singer with a voice so angelic and delightful its almost heartbreaking. It's no wonder this 22 American artist is being called the next Bruno Mars. His full name is Marion Carter and is quite a dashing young man. I recieve this album through Damien Simpson and had a listen. If thre i ayone lookng for a present to give to their mum/sister/girlfriend/wife this is it!

TRACK LISTING

great escape - Beautiful guitar intro, sounds like Neyo but wth the lyrico Jasmie Sullivan, empowering tune

return - Piano intro similar to Sarah Barrelis Love Song, soulful beat and lyrics, about someone sorry for thier mistakes and picking themselves up so they can get back wth an ex partner.

walking wounded - A very dark sounding dance tune, perfect for a RnB club, makes you want to get up and dance like you are a proffessional.

cant wait - A classic sounding if not slightly generic love song from this genre. I love it but its a song not for the broken hearted as they would proberly break down listening to it.

play with my mind - Appreciative of women, can imagine my boyfriend singing to it to make me smile coyly. Its the next Bruno Mars amazing. I want to see this in the charts so much its unreal.

replace it - sad song with a beautiful piano melody, its almost minmalistic would work brilliantly as an acoustic song.

world upon my shoulders - Starts as a club tune until it properly kicks in and becomes a perfect slow jam.

I wish - Powerful lyrics and drum beat. Like a love song but more of a slow jam that you can be single and listen to without hysterically weeping, unless you are the one in the wrong.

this life - Great steady beat, perfect for any occasion, almost lke a modern lullaby lyrically. Reminds me of Craig David with the little rap.

impossible - My favourite song on the album, poetic,true and if only I could reach those high notes without sounding screachy.

Overall it is a beautiful album and I cant find a fault with it. A 5 Star album and I can definately see him being better known in 2011.

Things to look forward to from me x

Sorry I have been rushed off my feet with all sorts this month but you can expect to see a few more reviews, an exclusive interview with Eklipse, and progress on my journey to the fringe theatre in Edinbrugh. I will also be posting up a reflection of the year with my hopes and dreams of the coming year and some more poetry and tidbits about my personal life and career. Thanks for continuing to read my blog I appreciate it so much and I hope to see my readership numbers increase over the year. Random fact is that I get a hundred readers a week and I aim to increase that to a hundred a day by posting daily even if it is a little something. Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all of you across the globe xxxx
