The short, sweet to the point background of Sarah and how she was discovered from her Manager/Producer and Songwriter …Dj Mbj ” I had written the music before I met Sarah, believe it or not, she was working at a Sephora near my home and I saw here, loved her look and just walked up to her and asked her if she can sing, she said yes, the rest is history..”Her love of music comes from her father who was a very accomplished pianist, Sarah takes enjoyment in a plethora of musical genres. However, Sarah is really drawn to and has a passion for the ’80s from music to personal style. Her music has that retro sound that is surging, the old is new again musical inclination that scends the scene!

Deleo – Going Home
Deleo has released their new video for the track titled ‘Going Home’. Deleo continues their ‘evolution of revolution’ with this continuing escalation of quality of sound. Having kept them on my radar for almost a year now, this is clearly evident to me.
‘Going Home’ is the latest culmination of what Deleo is achieving career-wise with a beautiful hook and lush combination of instruments underlying a truly angelic voice.

ABOUT DELEO & ‘GOING HOME’
After having successfully launched 2 singles during COVID, Deleo continues to distill the fruits of their upcoming album. And this time, with ‘Going Home’, the Montpellier combo plunges us into a multidimensional universe half-angel, half-demon …
‘Going Home’ is a pure ballad. Correction: ‘Going Home’ seems like a pure ballad. But in fact, the song reveals layers like infinitely opening drawers. Over the vibrant chords of an acoustic guitar, a voice begins to sing a melancholy melody at a cosmic distance that recalls The xx or London Grammar. This track evokes the mellow sadness of Autumn. As you listen and relisten, you spin endlessly against the backdrop of a sharp, haunting arpeggiator that drives this song towards the softly shining stars … far away from yourself.

Charlie Melrose – The Original Ghost
Touching upon the hook-laden electro grooves of Lady Gaga and Christine & The Queens, UK’s fast-rising art-pop/neo soul creator ‘Charlie Melrose’ delivers news of her single and video release.
‘The Original Ghost’ tackles her dad ‘ghosting’ her. Charlie was born into a musical family – her Auntie is 80’s music royalty, Hazel O’Connor (D-Days, Will You, Breaking Glass) and her father is Neil O’Connor. Throughout her childhood, her father would be away a great deal due to the requirements his career in music, especially while working with The Human League but as a child this was something Charlie says she found hard to deal with and didn’t really understand. In Charlie’s words ‘Instead of hating him, I just used to see him as this amazing person who kept leaving because I was probably rubbish… you know how children’s brains work?’
In the end, her father’s work took over and Charlie felt like she was totally dropped – which undeniably many daughters and sons would have an affinity with. Despite Charlie’s attempts to try and have a relationship with her father, he ended up cutting off contact and ‘Ghosting’ her. That is the backdrop to Charlie’s new single.
The story of their relationship both as a child and as an aspiring musician is a fascinating and heart-rending story. ‘The Original Ghost’ is Charlie’s attempt to come to terms with some of the confusion that affected her childhood and still burdens her today as an adult, her story as she explains resonates with many thousands of children who are now adults; the song’s lyrics combine both sadness and empowerment.

Lucas – Anne Marie
Manchester, UK’s Lucas have released a new music video for their single “Anne Marie.” Produced and co-written by Cage The Elephant’s Lincoln Parish, the swaggering indie rock track will appear on the band’s upcoming EP High Wire.
“Anne Marie was a turning point for us in the studio where Parish and I suddenly hit upon that brit-pop psychedelia which definitely sums up a lot of the band’s influences,” says frontman Johnny Lucas. “It was such a fun song to write and record but playing it live is the best and I love watching people get into it!”
After touring around the UK and Europe as a one-man show replete with beatbox and looping magic, Johnny decided to make the move to Nashville and form a full band. It was there that they honed their distinct blend of British and American flavors at Parish’s Talkboxrodeo studio. Johnny’s solo run received heavy rotation on BBC, major appearances at Glastonbury and Isle of Wight Festivals, and even a nod from the almighty Jimmy Page who told Johnny “I loved what you did with the loop pedal. There was so much going on it was like a 5-D experience.”
Fraught with complications and lengthy delays, his journey to the US would become fodder for much of the EP’s inspiration. Lucas explains: “After being delayed for 5 months and nearly flat broke, it took a lot to hang in there and trust that things would work out.”
The struggle proved worth it, armed with raucous guitars and anthemic choruses, High Wire is a rousing rock and roll record that weaves together sticky melodies and sly lyrics. With its strong Brit Pop influence and undertones of 60’s idols like McCartney and Jeff Lynne, High Wire is sure to resonate with fans of across the globe.
