Everything Flows Podcast #9 - May 2016

This month’s podcast ranges from the sexual electronica pop of Happy Meals, the futuristic soul of HONNE with Izzy Bizu, to the fragile New Order-esque bedroom recording by Broken by Rock with all other kinds of delicious things in between including one of my favourite songs by Belle and Sebastian and a Beach Boys cover version by BMX Bandits.

I Don’t Mind by Twerps is absolutely brilliant, glorious and euphoric indie guitar music, while Like A Hurricane by Neil Young simply soars.

LISTEN HERE

If You Want Me Now - Happy Meals
Someone That Loves You - HONNE and Izzy Bizu
Brittle - Broken by Rock
This Is Just A Modern Rock Song - Belle and Sebastian

Someone That Loves You

20 odd years ago I regularly tuned into the Radio 1 Evening Session hosted by Steve Lamaq and Jo Whiley - 2 enthusiastic music fans who easily transferred their knowledge and passion to the airwaves, subsequently turning me on to all kinds of music.

Lamaq is now on 6music’s drivetime slot and Jo Whiley has a few nights a week on Radio 2. I tend to listen to Jo’s show on the way to play 7-a-side football on a Wednesday night. It’s a late night kick-off at 9pm, so I sometimes leave the house with plenty of time to spare and take a leisurely drive over whilst listening to Jo’s show.

Last week she played this gem - Someone That Loves You by HONNE and Izzy Bizu. I fell for it immediately, the chorus was instant, the way the song flows, the feel, the vocals - all sublime.

Someone That Loves You is equally dreamy and euphoric, combining pop, soul and electro with ease - sounding modern, yet familiar - just perfect. The male and female voices combine superbly to tell a tale of love and lust with Izzy lifting things for the chorus.

Don’t touch me

Boy I want you

Not allowed to

You have someone that loves you

I’m waiting 

And I’m patient

I’m deluded

You have someone that loves you

Honne play King Tut’s in Glasgow on Tuesday 22nd October.
