Tracks of the Week (005)

Yo peopledem… September basically done, how’s it nearly October? Ten out of twelve months gone. Crazy.

Anyway, my favourite tracks for this week (still feel bad on Jamie T for last week).

Track 1 of 3

MilesCold, Jawnino, Tirzah

Those who know ‘It’s cold out’ already know the formidable partnership between Cold and Jawnino - coming like prime Wright and Bright, in the 90s. If this duo wasn’t enough, Cold jumping on vox (giving me 2000s vibes), and Tirzah a part of this track too - HOW GREEDY - from prime Wright and Bright to Yannick Bolasie, Wilf Zaha and Glenn Murray. Wasn’t Jawnino and Cold not enough? I hear it though, Tirzah transported this track to the next dimension with her mini 10/15 second feature, taking this track straight to the moon.

9.5/10

Track 2 of 3

Teach Me a LessonThe Family Rain

Been a staple in my listening catalogue for the past 10/15 years. Still creating, kudos to them. Still keeping it true to themselves, kudos. ‘Teach me a lesson’ isn’t riff based but reflects creative exploration between both the backing and main vocals - not your usual start to a TFR song. However, by the time the drums come in, the rhythm guitar is ringing out using their usual FX - giving that timeless sound from the boys.

9/10

Track 3 of 3

southside prayerBeastie, Southsidefinn

Shout out Beastie and Southsidefinn. SSFinn captured his vulnerability on a BEASTIE production, a part of BEASTIE’s new EP ‘maria’ which landed last Wednesday 23rd September. ‘southside prayer’ has a real atmospheric feel which left perfect space for Finn’s vocals, capturing the essence of real rap. ‘Love is never cheap, I paid a hell of a price’.
