Ryan's Gig Guide

www.ryansgigguide.com 8 rgg May 2018 Recommended for fans of Sade, Norah Jones and Kate Bush. Wolverhampton's finest Elizabeth Fields finally releases her debut studio album '100,000 Welcomes' and after ten years of pro- duction and development we can assure you that it's every bit as spectacular as we imagined. Rich with top musicianship, fifty of the regions most noted musicians and artists appear on this album; it's coated in neo-world commerciality and jaw dropping performances. Highlights are the soul friendly 'Should The Flesh Instruct The Mind?' with it's gentle insight into human desire and de- cision making; the magnificent bluesy whirlwind of 'The Colour Of My Dreams' and the smooth tender jazz hooks of 'A Matter OfTime'.Available now on CD Baby via her own record label Fire and Rain Records. www.elizabethfields.co.uk ALBUM of the month 100,000 welcomes by Elizabeth Fields The Verdict Reviews by Nick J. Townsend Stoke-On Trent's indie pop rock four-piece Ca- mens release their third single 'Violent Video Games'. This gaming inspired song is definitely recommended for fans of bands like The Wom- bats and Circa Waves. There's an entertaining music video for the song with lots of television screen smashing; something we often fantasise about when failing to defeat an end of level boss. It's a likable fun indie disco song and just out in time for Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One movie release.Whether violent games actually in- spire violent behaviour is a strongly divided ar- gument (psst..they don't) but this tune is suitable for all ages, multiplayer friendly and available on Spotify and from the band. www.facebook.com/camensuk1 SINGLE of the month Violent Video Games by Camens
