There's something quietly devastating about the way Simone Eversdjik approaches loss on "2 Years," her latest single that serves as both eulogy and embrace.

Curtis Millen's "Standing On Business" arrives with the kind of earned confidence that can only come from someone who's spent years proving themselves night after night on stages both small and significant.

The result is refreshingly authentic.

There's something rather touching about an artist who waits until 49 to fulfil their musical ambitions, and Martin Kuiper's sophomore effort, Dreaming Of A Sea Of Time, carries the weight of accumulated years with considerable grace.

After conducting nearly 15,000 interviews with artists and encouraging countless musicians to share their stories, Kuiper has finally stepped from behind the microphone to in front of it. Following his debut To Feel Is To Believe by a mere ten months, this five-track EP finds the Dutch songwriter expanding his sonic palette whilst retaining the melodic sensibilities that marked his initial offering.
