Experience the uplifting dimension of the core of the band Tillerman’s new single, “The Son Must Follow The Moon,” an evocative musical odyssey that sweeps audiences across continents, blending timeless sonic soul-stirring fusion from the heart of Leeds to the spirited rhythms of Nashville and the soulful harmonies of Nigeria’s vibrant Itunu Gospel Choir. This intricately crafted composition encapsulates gospel influences that transcend conventional genre boundaries. While not readily noticeable to casual listeners, those attuned to the subtle gospel lyrical undertones will discern the skillful integration of the song’s buoyant and rich optimistic ambiance.

Meanwhile, Tom Kulczycki’s dynamic drumming and piano melodies, paired with the masterful bass lines from Iain Moyser, create a vibrant foundation.
The surprise addition of Nicky Van Hines as guest lead guitar from Nashville brings a warm, southern flair, effortlessly blending with the uplifting harmonies of the Itunu Gospel Choir. The Kulczycki brother’s collaborative efforts are magical, injecting a spiritual sense of reverence that elevates the track into something genuinely celestial.
This collaborative masterpiece, recorded across three continents, exemplifies a diverse global approach to Tillerman’s creative process, resulting in a profoundly heartfelt and wide-ranging composition. “The Son Must Follow The Moon” stands out as an ethereal sonic exploration, uniting voices from various regions in captivating harmonies that resonate with all listeners.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama
Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.
This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.
Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival
“NO MORE“ carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.
“NO MORE“ is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.
Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.
“NO MORE“ is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
