Remaking the classic in lockdown 1: ‘Our House’ from Nova Music’s best-Hattie Whitehead, Howard Rose and Max Runham is one of the best releases of 2020

Posted on 18 December 2020

‘Our House‘ is the tremendously triumphant take on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young timeless classic from three absolutely incredible artists. They have been brought together thanks to London’s legendary Nova Music: Hattie Whitehead, Howard Rose and Max Runham. This will bring you back to places in your memory you thought were perhaps lost forever.

Created remotely from their respective music bunkers during this world-changing and tragic pandemic, these excellent musicians fuse together like fantastic welders, to spark a song together that was getting dusty in the few-remaining record stores around the world.

Her vocals lift your mood up and you feel free again, the tone rests your head and this is exactly what is needed in this fast-paced and mentally polluted world. The pure production captures the moment perfectly and the way they have made this song their own is truly extraordinary. I’m amazed at the guitar intricacies and this is a song that you listen to over and over again due to its quality and soothing nature.

The cats are playing in the yard, the flowers are brought into the vase as the fire has just been lit, and life is so simple and innocent. If only things could be like this all the time.

This should be Christmas number 1 in all of the UK charts as Nova Music’s Hattie Whitehead, Howard Rose and Max Runham light the fire on the majestic ‘Our House‘ that was made famous by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

This is a classy new take and they have made 2020 a much better place thanks to their efforts here. A truly wonderful song that will have you looking at old pictures and sharing wonderful memories together with friends and family. This is what the festive season is really about.

Posted on 12 September 2020

Taken off ‘Presenting McQueen‘, ‘If I Didn’t Know Ya‘ from McQueen is one of those songs that will be stuck splendidly in your head for days and days. This is a quality track of note.

You don’t know who they are but you are fascinated. You would like to get to know them but do they feel the same? You know that you two would get on well, there is no doubt about that. You feel that their style is so fine and fresh, you want to be with them so badly.

I love the fresh beat here from this song. This is so catchy and my head is bouncing. This is an indie-electro feast from the sky to us on earth to devour hungrily. I could imagine dancing to this for hours on end, sliding all over the floor. The vocals are crisp like a fresh packet of lettuce, the juicy beat is healthy and tasty for the heart.

Paul Moody And The Revelators Release Smashing Track ‘Losing My Mind’

Posted on 30 September 2017

Using a variety of ear pleasing instrumentals, from the saxophone to the trombone all the way through to the string family, it is Paul Moody’s charming vocals that steals the show. A sound originating from a folk and roots style, Paul Moody and the Revelators deliver a classic in their brand-new release “Losing My Mind”, a song that highlights elements of nostalgia, comfort and general music satisfaction.

“Losing My Mind” greets us with a friendly guitar strum, and as the introduction progresses the beating drum follows with an elegant piano, along with Paul Moody’s warm-hearted vocals, completely owning the vibrant atmosphere of the track. The meaning behind the lyrics is actually quite tragic, “And this cheap cocaine doesn’t do shit/It just numbs the depression a bit/And in the morning it’s all gonna hit/Oh oh I’m fine/But I think I’m losing my mind”. What Paul Moody and the Revelators so cleverly portray, is the reality behind everyday life. We may pretend to continue with our day-to-day duties with a content and cheery attitude, but most of the time we are concealing our misery. “Losing My Mind” puts an ambiguous spin on what the song really means, and what is so conspicuous about the track is the confusion it reiterates between the vocals and the melody.
