modernlove - Liquorice Single Review

By

Named after the David Bowie hit from the 80's, modernlove are an indie pop band from Drogheda. The band is comprised of Barry Lally, Cian McCluskey, Graham Fagan and Daniel Rooney. They formed in 2014 and since then have released two singles that caught the attention of many people. Those two singles "Us" and "Bop" received over 250,000 plays on Spotify, one of which was used in the TV show "Made In Chelsea" and saw the band tipped as one of 2019's hottest acts by Hot Press Magazine. They have also recently supported Good Cop Bad Cop and have another support slot soon for Larkins in The Academy. Their live performances resulted in teaming up with Paul Buck who also works with The Vaccines, Everything Everything and many more top acts.

Listen to the single on YouTube:



Now they release their latest single "Liquorice" which was recorded in Black Mountain Studios and produced by Sean Corcoran. The song is laden with laid back grooves that harmonise beautifully with the synths and Barry's angsty vocals. As far as indie pop goes, this is pretty much top drawer stuff. Of "Liquorice" the band say "it's a song about naive infatuation set against a dizzying backdrop of alcohol and substance fuelled nightlife".

Logan J Parker is a singer songwriter from Portugal but currently residing in London. Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed her single Cry Cry Cry and now she returns with her latest single Blue. About the song, Logan says " Blue is another sad song I wrote about the lockdown and it's dedicated to my mother and best friend Rita. Without her, I wouldn't be a musician." Watch the video here: Blue is a quirky upbeat jazz track and is Logan's first foray into the ukulele. The happy vibes of the music and Logan's vocal delivery masks the sadness in the lyrics. This song will put you in a  good mood for the rest of the day.  Follow Logan J Parker: Twitter Instagram Facebook Spotify Official Website SoundCloud YouTube
