Rowlette - Coffee Hill Sessions (Feat. Shane Steven) Review

By

Rowlette is an indie pop musician from Mayo. Her songs have already received thousands of plays on Spotify and last Autumn she played to a sold out crowd at Crowbar. More recently she supported Jack L on several of his nationwide tour dates. Rowlette also studied at the renowned BIMM Institute which is where she met Shane Steven. Shane is a composer, teacher and session musician. The two have teamed up to record a couple of songs at Coffee Hill Studios. The songs Nostalgic and Runaway were released on June 17th.

Check out Nostalgic:



Nostalgic is absolutely fantastic. The acoustic guitar is belting out rock pop vibes whilst Sarah's vocals are stunning. Theres a touch of Lisa Hannigan in there but then becomes more in your face and demanding but in a good way. About the song, Sarah says "Nostalgic despite its name, is all about being present and living in the moment. “We wrote this at a time when my life was all over the place. I was in between houses, in a job I didn’t like and facing these decisions I didn’t want to make. I was walking home one evening on a dull, windy day, and got this overwhelming sense of calmness. It kind of reminded me, if you take things moment by moment, they’re not so bad. Worrying about the future is as futile as longing for the past."

Check out Runaway:



Runaway is definitely more chilled out with an R&B vibe. The two singers play off each other and combine brilliantly. Talking about this song, Sarah said "“This was the day-dreaming, non-present side of me! I was in this job that was considered great and sensible, but I really didn’t enjoy it. I felt like I should stay there, but I knew I’d be miserable...this was my way of working up the courage to leave I guess!”

Logan J. Parker is a singer songwriter living in London but originally from Portugal. Logan is also a producer, pianist and guitarist with sound steeped in 60's rock n' roll, soul and blues. She is also a part of the musical wing of Extinction Rebellion. Her influences include T Bone Walker, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen. Whilst working in a bank job that she hated, Logan had a health scare which showed her that life is short and time can't be wasted doing something you hate so that's when her musical journey began. In 2016 she moved to London to compose her own music which she recorded in a fully solar powered studio and through her own independent company meaning that she owns all of the copyright to her music. In late 2019 Logan released her self titled debut EP. She recently released a single from that EP called "Cry Cry Cry". Watch the video for "Cry Cry Cry" here: "Cry Cry Cry" is a bluesy jazz number.

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
