Sniffing out the best new music
Some mad chilling deja-vu stuff, Peter & Kerry? I think they are back you know, banding around some deep vibes again. This duo (Peter Lyons & Kerry Leatham) shot to my attention just over seven years ago with their quirky acoustic version of Amerie’s (annoying) 2011 hit ‘One Thing’.

Ripped from Nouvelle's late 2018 album 'Wired' we find an utter gem in 'Leave Now'. An usual blend of offbeats, Arabic and cheesy vocals all in one interesting piece. Nouvelle is normally a fairly pop driven instrumentalist but occasionally offers a more experimental piece here or there. This certainly is 'Wired's' more out there compositions... Continue Reading →
