After years of being a fan, I finally had a chance to see Kelly Erez live! The singer marked her birthday last Tuesday (28th January – take note!) with a special concert at the West Hampstead Arts Club in North London. Who is Kelly Erez? Kelly Erez is a British singer and songwriter, a vocal teacher […]
Patty Pravo Live at Teatro Sistina – Minaccia Bionda Tour
Patty Pravo is often in my heavy rotation. Every now and then, I revisit old favourites or try something new from her vast discography. She’s hands down my Italian singer numero uno. But as someone based outside of Italy, I haven’t had a chance to see her concert. Until now! This April, I caught her […]
Carly Rae Jepsen Live at Alexandra Palace, London 2023
I had The Loveliest Time at Carly Rae Jepsen’s Dublin concert! So much so that I needed another Carly fix just dates later. Is this too, is this too much? Not if you’re a dedicated fan like myself! You could go to all dates on this tour and every time the setlist would be different. And […]
Carly Rae Jepsen Brings Sparkle and Quality Pop to Dublin
Carly Rae Jepsen’s career has an interesting trajectory. After scoring one of the best-selling songs of the decade, she transitioned into a “pop renovator” with indie credibility. Although now shunned by the general public and radio playlisters, she boasts an army of die-hard fans which many top sellers can only dream about. If you’re one of […]
Moje spotkanie z Elżbietą Dmoch
W latach 70. była jedną z najpopularniejszych wokalistek w Polsce. Jednak ostatnio bardziej kojarzona jest z doniesieniami (często mocno przesadzonymi) na temat stanu zdrowia i rzekomo samotniczego stylu życia. Bo od 20-tu lat Elżbieta nie udziela się w charakterze publicznym i unika uwagi medialnej. Całkiem jak Greta Garbo! Wyjątkiem były tylko dwa zamknięte zloty fanów […]
Toyah Live in London 2022: Anthem 40+1 Tour
Toyah Willcox is in the middle of a tour. Her third tour this year. The ever-busy punk icon is commemorating the 40th anniversary of her breakthrough album Anthem. Albeit more than 41 years after its release, owing to the pandemic. Yesterday’s show in London couldn’t have fallen on a more unfortunate day, plagued by strikes […]
Sky Ferreira Live in London 2022
It’s been an excruciatingly long wait for the UK fans of Sky Ferreira. The elusive LA singer last performed here in 2014! This year, she made a comeback as part of Grace Jones-curated Meltdown festival on 16th June. Those who turned up for her 10:30pm gig, tightly filled the Queen Elizabeth Hall in anticipation – but […]
10 Legendary Unreleased Albums Part 2: Jimi Hendrix, Carly Rae Jepsen and More!
Adele’s new album is another critical and commercial success, but it was close to nobody hearing it at all. Just before she released 30, the singer considered scrapping the entire material and writing new songs. Fortunately for the fans, the original set was released as planned. But not every album has that much luck, and […]
10 Legendary Unreleased Albums by Amy Winehouse, La Roux, Bowie and More
In an ideal world, an album is composed, recorded and released to anticipating fans. In reality, though, some projects never get to see the light of day, for different reasons, be it the artist’s dissatisfaction with the material or objections from the record label. If they’re lucky, they resurface as bootlegs or ephemeral files knocking […]
La Roux Teases Supervision in Kingston
La Roux is back with Supervision – her third album in total, second as a solo act, but her first as an independent artist. Five years in the making, the record is shaping up to be a sleek, groovy affair, referencing late 70s/early 80s funk and disco, on par with the brilliant Trouble in Paradise. […]
Lil’ Kim Is Back: 9 Reasons Why 9 Underperformed
“It’s 2019. My album couldn’t come out next year, it couldn’t come out the year before this. This was the year. Everything has been aligning for me perfectly”, Lil’ Kim explained shortly before dropping her new album 9. Hyped as her “first studio album in 14 years”, even though she has released mixtapes with new […]

Every year, the Neoclassical courtyard of Somerset House turns into a vibrant music venue, thanks to Summer Series. Since 2002, the event offers open air concerts and festival-like atmosphere right in the very centre of London.
