When the first notes of “Last Train Home” are started, we immediately realize how much we missed the rains in Africa. Confusion sets in when we hear not David Paich, but John Mayer's soft voice coming from our speaker. It is no surprise that Mayer has already sought his inspiration in the seventies in recent years. On the single “New Light” released in 2018, we hear similar influences, among other things. The video clip of "Last Train Home" also perfectly matches the atmosphere of the song and the fact that John has clearly not yet been able to capture a hairdresser's appointment to get rid of his corona coupe contributes to the whole. All kidding aside. “Last Train Home” is a typical John Mayer song. A catchy tune and chorus in combination with a guitar riff here and there. Not much special, but ultimately a pleasant song. At the end of the song we are also briefly surprised thanks to Maren Morris who shows up as a backing vocalist, and then fades out the song “Afric...

In 2019 and 2020 Barbara wrote the French entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in 2020 Valentina won with that entry. Barbara is a woman of strong opinion. For example, in 2014 she released the song Chair, which made it clear that she supported a relaxation in the French abortion law. All her songs are about a certain vulnerability, like “Voilà”, in which she asks that someone listen to her. More than once she has been compared to Edith Piaf, the world famous French singer. She came second in the Eurovision Song Contest with 499 points. This week LOX DISK. © 2021 Lokale Omroep Krimpen Source: Original article (Dutch)

Martin Garrix produces the official European Championship 2021 song 'We are the people'. The Dutch DJ and producer has been appointed by UEFA to make the song for EURO 2021. He does this together with none other than Bono and The Edge from U2. "We are the People" is the official song for EURO 2021 released a month before kick-off. The song was written to celebrate the festivities and the football. It is about the problems that people face in the world and about a joint solution to those problems. The European Championship song hopes to radiate positivity, hope and determination so that every team can succeed at the tournament. The song should also create a sense of togetherness. Garrix's vision came to life when Bono and The Edge of the legendary band U2 agreed to participate in the song. Bono wrote the lyrics and created the melodies, while The Edge added guitar riffs. The song composed by these great world artists is meant to get football fans in the mood for an...

It is a combination that you would not immediately expect: André van Duin and Danny Vera. The two have joined forces for a song entitled "Forever". The initiative of the song comes from Danny Vera who wrote the music and immediately thought of André van Duin to sing it. He approached the singer who then wrote the lyrics: a personal story about love, loss and parting. "Forever" is also a tribute to Martin Elferink, Van Duin's husband, who passed away last year. The proceeds of the single, which will be released on the Excelsior Recordings label, will go to KWF Kankerbestrijd. "Forever" -> LOOSE DISK! © 2021 Lokale Omroep Krimpen Source: Original article (Dutch)

Coldplay surprises us with a new single. Well, new? In any case, new to us. The song "Flags" has already been released as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the album "Everyday Life". In Japan it is customary to add a bonus track, so that the CD is not imported from Europe or America, but is simply bought in the record store around the corner. Coldplay releases the song internationally and can therefore be heard everywhere. What you hear then is the familiar sound of Chris Martin. "Flags" is a dreamy song that perfectly matches the mood of the album "Everyday Life". Nice to hear this on the radio at the end of the year in between all the musical Christmas violence. So LOX DISC! © 2020 Lokale Omroep Krimpen Source: Original article (Dutch)

In 2016, the couple Suzan & Freek received a shoutout from The Chainsmokers for their cover of “Don't let me down” after which a successful career started. Their first self-written song “Als het Avond is” from 2018 was played in Belgium and the Netherlands, but put the duo on the map as an act of which you think: 'yes, they can do something.' And then you also have rapper Snelle. What Suzan & Freek and Snelle have in common is that they all come from Gelderland. They come from Achterhoek, he grew up in Gorssel. Also, all three did not live in the city center, but on 'the other side'. 'Den boerbuite', as they put it so beautifully there. “De Overkant” is just about this: the feeling of nostalgia for your youth and simple times when there was nothing to do in a one-street village with a café and a church tower. Yet the song is cheerful and Suzan sings along on Freek's enticing guitar. They sing about doors and bicycles that don't have to be loc...

Dua Lipa's new single is an absolute fan favorite. “Hallucinate” was immediately bombarded by her fans as one of the favorites when her current album “Future Nostalgia” was released. When the singer recently announced that she had made a video clip for the song, her fans were immediately enthusiastic, although this soon became less when it turned out that it was a full animation video clip. Lipa, who, like many other artists, struggles to find the right resources for making a large-scale video clip during corona, is very satisfied with the result. "Making a clip with an entire army of dancers and producers is just not yet possible," she said via Twitter. Lipa co-wrote the song with songwriters SG Lewis and Frances and had it produced by Stuart Price, a man who has previously worked on hits by Madonna and Kylie Minogue. In short, "Hallucinate" -> DISC! © 2020 Lokale Omroep Krimpen Source: Original article (Dutch)

The DJ and producer duo Lucas & Steve (Lucas de Wert and Steven Jansen. Both are from Maastricht) are back with new music. Last month their new song "Letters" was released on the Spinnin 'Records label. A summery feel-good track with the recognizable Lucas & Steve sound. The energetic beats immediately put everyone in a summer mood. The perfect song to have a party at home, from the living room or garden. "Letters" is about making beautiful memories and the desire to do fun things. Something that is not always possible in this day and age: “We would have liked nothing more to play this song at festivals and to make new memories with our fans.
