Talking about Making Music - Review from Noise Festival
Quote
Making Music
“If music be the food of love, play on” wrote William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night.
In my opinion Mr Shakespeare was bang on the mark with that one. Music and love are often interchangeable, even in the impersonal, dog eat dog world of 21st century
Britain. Music feeds love and love feeds music.
With such an important influence on the well-being of our hearts, it therefore seems criminal that it is only now that I am considering the talented musicians Britain has to offer, and for that I apologise.
Without further delay, I present to you K8, a 24 year old Londoner who has been making sweet music for 4 years.
K8’s incredibly unique sound lays catchy pop melodies over a combination of rock and dance music. The additional electronica element which features in most of her songs further enhances her originality.
The release of her latest tune Splash brings her total number of singles to 4. Splash is a toe-tapping little gem, with catchy lyrics and hair raising guitar riffs. K8’s pleasantly rocky singing style makes this number and must for your CD collection.
As if that’s not enough, her other 3 singles are equally memorable and I guarantee you’ll be humming the melodies after just one listen.
I know It’s You, her first release, is incredibly infectious. It contrasts soft, lilting, dido-esque melodies in the verses with a strong, electronica chorus. The result is a refreshing and original track which is crying out for clubland.
The net is teeming with talented music makers and I apologise, (again) for not including more of them. However, I was so impressed with K8 that I decided to dedicate an entire blog to her. But I promise to return to music very soon.
K8, you go girl! Get yourself involved in Noise, and let the rest of Britain share your wicked sound.
