Song for Sunday - 10th Sep - Night After Night

Matthew Connor takes an 'electric crooner' approach to music and this song - Night After Night - works well in that style. Night After Night is a synth pop dream, one where the dreamer is stuck, alone, and with intrusions from the city around him begins wondering what could have or should have been.

Song for Sunday - 2nd Sep - Prettyboy

I've not heard of Canadian singer Sam Vance-Law before, but after hearing this I'll be paying attention when his album comes out next year. The album - Homotopia - will put issues of equality front and centre, and explore how empathy and compassion can and should be our first response to someone.

In the meantime Prettyboy is a perfect Song for Sunday and has a fun video to go along with it.

Song for Sunday - 27th Aug - O Lord

Australian band Cub Sport have released the first single from their second album. O Lord is indie pop with a little gospel influence, making it a perfect Sunday song.

Song for Sunday - 20th Aug - Spare Change

Brandon Stansell has had a good run of songs & videos from his first two EP's. Spare Change is the latest video from these while he works on his first album - like most indy artists there days there is a Kickstarter for http://www.brandonstansell.com - from which we can expect more of the California-Country style that he does so well.

Spare Change is the more upbeat of his songs, and the video a tale that speaks to the issues the US is facing at the moment. Go have a look and listen for your slice of Sunday music.

Song for Sunday - 13th Aug - Grounds for Resentment

It's still fairly unusual to have two out gay men singing a romantic duet (using male pronouns). So here is the latest in a fairly short line - this is Kele Okereke (from Bloc Party) and Olly Alexander (from Years & Years) on Grounds for Resentment, a track from Okereke's forthcoming album Fatherland.

Song for Sunday - 6th Aug - The Village

Hot on the heels of Bloodstain a few weeks ago comes the new song from Wrabel called The Village. Written in response to Trump's transphobia this is a song and video with an emotional punch.

Song for Sunday - 30 Jul - Shangri La

With intimacy comes exposure, and with exposure comes risk and vulnerability.
In this song - Shangri La - Eli Lieb explores the edge of risk and what happens when a kiss or touch can tip him over that edge - over into a place where he's too exposed.
