brand new single out, tonight, get excited for this I've got the brand new
exclusive from Remember Monday this is awesome as you knew it would be" - Matt
Spracklen
It’s been over a year since @remembermonday_ released ‘Drive’ and in that time, they’ve been on The Voice, played festivals, written new music in the studio. Their 2nd single ‘Home To Me’ drops tomorrow and I have the exclusive TONIGHT at 7pm on @countryhitsuk! #CountryHitsBrits pic.twitter.com/raEGqXFAKu— Matt Spracklen (@MattSpracklen) October 6, 2019
Belles & Gals Review: "“Home To Me” is
a great contrast to their 2018 release, being a totally stripped back ballad
which helps show what a versatile group Remember Monday are. Written a while back
now by Lauren for a British Airways competition, the ladies have been including
it in their live sets for some time and I’ve seen first hand how well it
connects with their audiences. Produced by Tim Prottey-Jones, the song’s
haunting acoustic accompaniment begins with just a guitar being strummed before
building gradually and leaves the trio’s vocals no place to hide" - Review
written by Lesley Hastings
Gasoline
& Matches
- Fools Gold ("Huge track there from Gasoline & Matches new music to
come from them real soon") iTunes
Twinnie - Social Babies (Live
from London, 2019) iTunes (I
cannot get enough of that, that was Twinnie and the acoustic version live of
Social Babies. I was in the room when Twinnie recorded this session and I was
just blown away. We see Twinnie on the big stages kicking her legs up, dancing
around with the big sounds but just to hear her stripped back with a pianist, a
cellist, violinist is so special in any genre, oh man - Matt Spracklen
Honey
Ryder
- Numb (From 2012 rock album Rising Up iTunes)
The
Shires
- Beats To Your Rhythm (My Universe 2016)
Jake
Morrell

("I'm so excited about that guy, I heard the latest single that Jake will
be putting out real soon and I've seen him play it live, it's so good, his
music keeps getting better and better")
Poppy
Fardell
- Hayley (Single; 6 Sept 2019 iTunes) "Great
track that, we've had Jolene from Dolly Parton, we've had Diane from Cam, that
was Hayley from Poppy Fardell, I'm really excited about Poppy's future what an
incredible singer, songwriter and artist she is" - Matt Spracklen
