ONE TO WATCH: tom walker - blessings / just you and i

tom walker - blessings

tom walker - just you and i (mahogany session)
with just the EP 'blessings' under his belt, this manchester singer/songwriter has slowly turned into one of my fave debut acts of the year. with his manly growl plus sensitive lyrics overflowing with youthful phrasing, tom is primed for big things in the coming year. check out the double bill of the EP title track (and best video to showcase a successful threesome poly relationship!) followed by one of my fave songs of the year 'just you and i'. sigh...

WONGIE SOUL SONG OF THE WEEK: d/c - badman

d/c - badman (live @ mahogany session)
nothing like discovering a new soulful singer songwriter from the UK through this wonderful self penned track. just listening to daniel caplen's (aka d/c) gravelly storied voice telling his story of redemption through this gospel tinged gem is worth our collective love. definitely one to keep on our radar!

wanna hear the studio version of badman (and some other lovely tracks?), click on the soundcloud player below:

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: bastille - pompeii / pompeii (mahogany session)

bastille - pompeii
how epic pop is this? a proper singalong anthem that's perfect from one of our fave debut acts of last year. i cannot wait to see what 2013 will offer lead singer dan smith and his band of merry men!
