\nCome to Say Goodbye<\/strong>
\nThe Irish singer Siomha (= \u2018peaceful\/good\u2019) has a voice that moves angels. From a family steeped in music, she grew up with the sounds of jazz, trad, folk and soul, leaving an indelible mark on her musical tastes and influences. She started playing the guitar when she was ten, but it was later in her teens while attending high school in southern France that she first took up the jazz guitar, learning from an Italian gipsy she\u2019d met by chance. He taught her the manouche Gipsy jazz style. Soon, S\u00edomha began to write her own songs.

\nCracker Island<\/strong>
\n\u00abThe \u2018Cracker Island\u2019 video, co-directed by Gorillaz co-founder Jamie Hewlett and Nexus Studios\u2019 Fx Goby, reunites the Gorillaz\u2019 2-D, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs in the Los Angeles County Hospital after all three members show up for unknown reasons; for 2-D, he\u2019s haunted by visions of a cult \u2013 as suggested by the song\u2019s lyrics \u2013 seemingly run by Thundercat, who pops in and out of reality throughout the visual.\u00bb Rolling Stone

\nSeivwright. Yohan Kebede. Duane Atherley. Toby Adenaike. Onome Edgeworth. Ayo Salawu. Their sound is located between fusion and Afro-beat. Compared iwith the next review, you\u2019ll notice an evolution towards the abstract. Sheila says. \u00abIt\u2019s that feeling when you\u2019re younger and you hear something and you feel some ownership over it. For me, Nigerian music and soul was played in the house a lot so I felt I had ownership over it so when I heard it elsewhere, there was a certain pride and energy filled with it.\u00bb
