Aoife O’Donovan can surprise you, as she does on Age of Apathy. For a singer who often uses quiet rather than trying to bowl you over with the strength of her voice, some of her thoughts can be a bit disconcerting. “Working on this record was me trying to grab the shards of glass from all the broken...
by Jonathan Frahm • 18 January 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Ren Lawton – Thinking About You Photo courtesy of A Badge of Friendship Ren Lawton’s ‘Thinking About You’ is the perfect driving folk tune to kick off the week.

You are in safe hands here. Part praise, part blessing, part protest, this is deep musical magic, sound alchemy. Let The Light In is a musical companion...

To Christian Parker, he was a family friends’ 15 year-old stepson. ‘Last Glance’ is the artist’s beautiful tribute to the young man and his family.
