Shaznay Lewis - Miracle/Kiss of Life + Pages (album 2)

[Jark]

what is it with you and lesbians...

 

[straightorbroken]

Song swings and wacks you in the face with a studded leather jacket, but no time to be cynical, right now Shaz Bags needs the gays, radio 2 and a decent Hoopla time slot (if she follows GALA it's all over though). Spotify has went straight onto Celine's Misled as my cool down. At first I thought it was Louise

 

[OutSynk]

Oh Miracle is really good.

 

[Pipo]

really cool

 

[Pipo]

really cool

 

[Suedehead]

Well this is fabulous
I know I’m two weeks late which is like two years in gay timelines but yeah

 

[OutSynk]

really cool

really cool

 

[tommie]

I wonder if Shaznay does e-mails?

 

[Funky]

She still has an ear for a bop doesn’t she?

Enjoying this

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

She's going to be on Sunday Brunch on Channel 4 next week!

Oh GOOD FOR HER

Miracle is splendid

 

[Alex]

Ooh a Self Esteem collab !

 

[tommie]

Interesting that Miracle is track 11!

Looking forward to this. I hope she can at least break the top 20.

 

[Iguana]

Shola Ama

Love the cover!

I think Miracle is only on about 30,000 Spotify streams

 

[Jark]

apparently the second single might be getting a bigger push than Miracle. but why artists like her are still trying that strategy I don't know. you get one chance to make as big a splash as possible. this release is indie and self-funded but I don't see the album going top 20/even top 40 honestly.

PASSION PROJECT

 

[KindaCool]

I'm assigning this a 10/10 BY DEFAULT, until proven otherwise.

I think the strategy is to use the first single to return to public consciousness, take a moment to get those algorithms working again and then put the favoured single out.

Not sure how much of a difference it makes but I can understand the logic.

[Christian]

Oh that's LOVELY

I'd love to hear Mel and the Appletons on it too though, it must be said

 

[VoR]

I'd love to hear Mel and the Appletons on it too though, it must be said

I’ve a feeling that’s going to be the theme of this album…

 

[Dark Carnival]

I’ve a feeling that’s going to be the theme of this album…

And that's honestly not a bad thing!

 

[Dark Carnival]

One minute in and I'm already loving this!

 

[Dark Carnival]

MOTHER!

 

[Funky]

Oh I’m loving this era.

 

[OutSynk]

MAY?! That’s in like A YEAR!

She’s going for the Born This Way BLOCKBUSTER roll out.

 

[KindaCool]

Ugh, it's so good.

Also, not sure if I'm hearing things, but there are small similarities to Jessie Ware?

 

[FetchFugly]

Miracle was a grower but Kiss of Life is very instant. Gorgeous.

 

[FetchFugly]

It isn't that close but I knew the bassline reminded me of something...

Heart and Soul by T'Pau

BUT I WANT MORE ALL SAINTS

 

[KindaCool]

I think I like Kiss of Life over Miracle. It's very infectious.

 

[KindaCool]

BUT I WANT MORE ALL SAINTS

Yeah, it's not that I don't love Shaznay on her own, because she has a gorgeous rich voice and superb production. But once you've heard those four together, there's just no going back. Their vocals work so well together with their sound, I never wanna stop hearing music from them.

Yep!



I mean this is just perfect isn’t it?

But yes, Shaznay alone is cool, fine… I’d just rather have the band!

 

[KindaCool]

Ok Kiss of Life is legit 10/10

 

[KindaCool]

Can we talk about how amazing the Middle 8 is
