Elbow are a long-standing British group who have kind of passed me by so far, hence I’m only just reviewing this single, One Day Like This, even though it’s been out a few months. I’m sure I’m not alone in only really taking notice of the band after they won the 2008 Mercury Music Prize […]

The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is due out on October 13th, and this song, Spiralling, is the first single to be released from it. In the absence of any kind of official video (at least from what I’ve found online), I’ve had to make do with a video of the band performing the song […]

Will Young is one of the few winners of the whole Simon Cowell reality show (Pop Idol, X-Factor) phenomenon to emerge from it all with a career. Not only that but he’s become accepted as an artist in his own right rather than merely the winner of Pop Idol 2002. Well, at least until folk […]

You may be wondering: Why the hell is he reviewing this song when it’s been out for months? But that’s the thing, it only came out in the US months ago - us Brits have had to wait until now for our chance to buy in to the whole M.I.A. vibe. Which is why Paper […]

I don’t know how many of my non-British readers or non-over the age of 40 readers are going to know who I’m talking about in this post, but here goes nothing. Sir Cliff Richard has notched up a top ten hit with his new single, Thank You For A Lifetime. Why is this news? Because […]

The Feeling are a strange band, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. They are a proper band, who all play instruments, and who write their own material, but they’re derided by the fascist music press because they are clearly ‘pop’ and proud of it.
I would classify them as indie pop, […]

I love America, and the majority of the American people I have met both online and in real life. But, when I hear a story such as this, I can’t help but lose a bit of respect for the country and its inhabitants.
Chasing Pavements by Adele is an absolutely brilliant song, and deserves to be […]

Estelle has had an astounding couple of years, going from being a London rapper struggling to gain any sort of press or public attention, to being an A-list celebrity and R’n’B diva loved on both sides of the Atlantic.
The song that started her whole reinvention as the darling of America was obviously American Boy, which […]

I’ve covered Oasis quite extensively here on Brit Music Scene in the run up to the release of their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul.
While most of the coverage has unfortunately been about Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher’s attempts at gaining publicity (obviously successful) from slagging off their fellow musicians, it’s finally time […]
