Iveta & Simone - Single Review: Weeping
07 Dec 2019 // A review by darryl baser
Dueling divas Iveta & Simone have dropped the single Weeping, and it’s a power ballad with production values and a sense of drama which could make Jim Steinman or a drag queen blush.
If production values were shoes, this tune would be an 8“ sparkly pink platform stiletto.
Right from the opening bars of synth strings and programmed drums, it’s a 1980‘s inspired sound. In proper pop structure, it hits the chorus at 40 seconds in.
Lyrically it’s a story about a man not being faithful, leaving his woman ‘weeping’, and it follows a pretty linear narrative, the singers suspect male is unfaithful, find evidence, and then are Weeping. The second and third verses follow suit, as does the middle 8, ‘if she kiss your lips?, know it kills my heart, if you promise love, just from the start…’ and so on.
To be honest, I’d like to hear an acoustic version of the song.

Nika - Single Review: Saviour Complex
03 Nov 2022 // by darryl baser
A song with an interesting title will always grab my attention, and the idea of people with a saviour complex has always fascinated me, so when the new song by Nika called Saviour Complex was offered to me to review I almost somersaulted. The song opens with a gently and alluring piano melody before Nika’s voice kicks in and from the first notes some vocal training is obvious.
