I have been reviewing albums for every major and indie label in the world for over 30 years.
You have to have a passion for it.
And of course I do.
So that is what I’m going to bring to you.
Artists who are creating music with passion and may be breaking new ground.
It may not be ‘the single” could be an album track.
It can come from any genre.
Your job will be to go and check out these tracks and artists.
