Amber Blackouts, Baby

Pause and Play it Forward

Pull up a chair and join us as we give a light-hearted review of a couple of albums and compile a Top 5 on a theme. Plus loads of laughter, stories and facts (we love a bit of trivia!)

We start with Music Club - a bit like book club but less wine (and with albums) this week we listened to Hope Downs by Melbourne band Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and a new album called Three Dimensions Deep from Amber Marks, a soulful US-based songstress. Find out what we think and whether you should listen to these albums by pressing play on this episode.

Our Top 5 this week is obsessed with babies. More to the point, songs with baby in the lyrics and unsurprisingly there are loads - we reckon about 13 million will spring to mind immediately for you. We have given birth to (get it?) the ultimate top 5 and it doesn't need its nappy changing.

All the songs we talk about can be found on the Spotify playlist for this week here.

Please like, subscribe and tell your friends about us, and contact us on our socials with your thoughts about any of the music we talk about.

We're always up for suggestions for future Music Club albums or Top Five themes.
