​Kloot Per W’s love for the French chanson gets a pop rock layer on Arbre à Fille.  

​Between the opener "King Of The Night Time World" and the closing song "Habits" there is really no weakness in the show element. The songs are spread with the necessary energy on their fan base. This is beautiful and exciting powerpoprock…!

It has been a while since we had heard anything from Bonnie Tyler here. The release "Between The Earth And The Stars" is Bonnie's seventeenth album. It is also the successor of the successful "Rocks and Honey" from 2013. Tyler again appealed to top producer David Mackay, who also produced her first two albums. Bonnie now also appeals to some world stars for a few songs. The fourteen tracks are strongly influenced by pop, country, rock and some smooty ballads.

Very fine Swedish prog album that makes you happy with beautiful arrangements and enchanting melodies. 

​Pop rock from Norway, for fans of bands like Nothing But Thieves, PVRIS and Imagine Dragons.

Bellemont consists of musicians that have earned their stripes in various Belgian bands, plus American singer and actress Tracee Westmoreland. She has very pleasing pipes that remind me of those of Petra ‘Pitti’ Polak. ‘Live Or Lavish’ is a special package: two discs, two times the same set of songs. One ‘live’ outing – warts and all – and one ‘lavish’ edition in the studio with guest musicians. The liner notes say it’s up to the listener to build his own Bellemont experience, and come to a favourite playlist. I prefer the live treatment, which is spicier, bolder and better overall. Bellemont is one excellent live band, make no mistake. The best song is ‘Don’t Wanna Know’, driven by an extremely groovy country hook. ‘Did You Ever’ is another highlight, with the excellent lyric ‘You ride a one-trick pony down the avenue’. Most of the time, a person will be called a one-trick pony, but here, the saying is used as an actual beast of burden or vessel? Nice. Bellemont doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel, but only a sourpuss will complain - because ‘Live Or Lavish’ is quite the accomplished release.

Sean Webster gives us a terrific album full of authenticity, sincere feelings, a lot of recognition and simply good songs. Cleanly cut and sagacious album!

'Side A & B' is a very catchy (pop)rock album, with part A leaning to more electric rocksongs and part B showcasing all acoustic folkrock songs. Great album from a man who knows how to write catchy songs, all sung by Reto Burrell with a pleasent voice. 

‘Ivy’ is a fabulous album in the best The Band and Eagles tradition. These are very strong and catchy songs with a lot of vocal harmonies and great lyrics. These are four seasoned musicians who know how to write very good country- and folk(pop)rock songs with a lot of soul in it! Superb!

Songwriter Elijah Ford brings pop rock with a Southern feel, but goes over the borders of this genre.

​This is a pleasant album. It’s pure poprock, no more or less. Just nice….

A personal but successful crossover between folk and pop gives this album an avant-garde touch. Very innovative album!

I had never heard an album of this band but I must admit, I was surprised about the entire line. Awesome songs with great melodic lines and superb vocals, yes, gorgeous album, that's for sure. Strong recommendation !!!
Also available on vinyl

Not easy, but nice mix of folk, rock and influences from the seventies. An album that deserves your full attention.

Tijs Delbeke is a musical prodigy. A boy wonder, or rather, a man wonder. And a nightman, apparently. He can do no wrong, and he can do it all. His lyrics are almost second to none in the Belgian music industry. Take ‘I Messed Up (FOR YOU)’. Any other songwriter would say: ‘I messed up, and I’m sorry’. But not Delbeke. He knows where and when he went off track, and he’s not afraid to face the consequences. After all, he did it for her. No regrets. Second example: ‘Always (Except For Sometimes)’, a linguistic impossibility reminiscent of ‘everything and more’ or ‘to infinity and beyond’. The guitars in ‘Try To Hurt You’ evoke R.E.M. in their best days, while the distorted singing voice reminded me of White Town’s ‘Your Woman’. To top it off, the whole song is dipped into a Fastball sauce. With fantastic results, for it’s one of the album’s best songs. ‘Nice & Clean’ on the other hand is pure The Jam. Paul Weller would approve. And just when the fun seems to take the upper hand, Delbeke offers a touching, introspective and highly personal ballad with ‘Hope = Close To Fear’. You’ve done grand, lad.
