C’batch turns an old guitar performance into a new story with “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic”
“Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic” by C’batch is a guitar performance in a new musical world that can totally change its identity. Drawing on electronic and rock influences, the piece features a guitar solo originally recorded for another song, “Round & Round,” twisting a familiar performance into something distinctly cinematic.
The guitar is the star of the production, providing the song’s emotional character without a traditional vocal performance. C’batch creates an electronic atmosphere around it, changing the context of the original recording. The instrumental performance remains the core feature, but the blend of guitar-led expression, electronic textures, and cinematic treatment gives the record a spacious feel.
C’batch returns to the original guitar solo as in performance to find a different possibility. The process feels like reinvention, showing how a musical idea can mean something new through a change of context. The electronic and rock elements give way to the guitar to tell another story, and the cinematic production takes the performance in a new artistic direction. C’batch’s latest release speaks volumes about the value of putting fresh ears on old records again, and finding a whole other musical future within them.

Johnny Hates Jazz and Jaki Graham put musical connection at the heart of “Soul Believer”
“Soul Believer” is a meeting of two different British musical voices, Johnny Hates Jazz and celebrated soul vocalist Jaki Graham, and it has a sense of occasion to it. It’s sophisticated pop, funk, and soul, blending Johnny Hates Jazz’s artistry with Graham’s deep roots in soul music.
It’s a feel-good collaboration that celebrates connection, musical feeling, and timeless appeal. “Soul Believer” was penned by Johnny Hates Jazz singer/songwriter Clark Datchler and Average White Band founder Hamish Stuart. Released on Revolver Records, the track draws on a deep British musical tradition, and the collaboration with Jaki Graham adds another layer of vocal character.
They create a slick sound that blends pop accessibility, funk energy, and soul warmth. This release is a shout-out to longtime music lovers who know the emotional power of great recordings and an invitation for younger listeners to discover the feeling, artistry, and humanity behind them.
The release pairs two lasting voices with a modern-day feel-good spirit, more than nostalgia. Johnny Hates Jazz & Jaki Graham turn the song into a statement that soulful, human-centered music still has a place, giving you a release that celebrates connection and brings music lovers together across generations.
