Creepin’ Up The Backstairs (live) – The Fratellis
5 September 2017
From Liverpool we will go a bit more to the north (like Game of Thrones), The Fratellis from Glasgow are delighting us with their song and that broken voice singing those lyrics.
See the Sun – The Kooks
29 August 2017
From Glasgow now we are going down south up to Brighton, The Kooks and this delightful song.
See the sun is part of the tracklist of the album Konk, actually recorded on the famous Konk Studio. Produced by Tony Hoffer it’s just a little clue you get before listening this album that this is a piece of art. The real clue is the talent this guys have and the fact they always knew the direction for their “pop” influenced by 60’s british invasion and post punk revival music.
Lady Madonna (Love version) – The Beatles
21 August 2017
You have no idea idea the huge effort it took me to not put a Beatles’ song in the playlist. Selecting the last 3 songs, Lady Madonna was always on my mind and obviously as a Beatles’ freak I tried to not open this door. But, they are the “fathers” of Open Another Door.
Grace Kelly – MIKA
15 August 2017
After Dylan Dunlap’s week, first guy and song in my mind was this extremely happy song. Mr. Mika, that nice piano and those high pitch tones looking for love (actually is a song complaining about they wanted him to more “normal” pop).
An Interview With Dylan Dunlap by Rodrigo Medrano
11 August 2017
Dylan Dunlap released his new EP “Feels Right at Home” almost two months ago. His past EPs and Album shows all the potential of this 21 year old multi-instrumentalist, but more importantly they show his way of singing about life and his way of verbalising himself to the world. This is why I think he’s a perfect example of the idea of Music To Open Another Door.
Purpose – Dylan Dunlap
7 August 2017
I honestly don’t know where to start with this guy. He’s in charge of transforming this cheesy mood we were having for the last two week into a nice indie upbeat. Taught himself piano since he was 6 years old, grew up listening Linkin Park, Yellowcard and then Coldplay changed his world. Today he gets inspiration from any kind of genre (even heavy metal!) and his music has an original upbeat.
The Gambler – Fun.
1 August 2017
If you thought last week was a bit cheesy, with this song of the week we are going to complete that cheesiness and maybe more. Maybe most of you know Fun. , but not everybody knows many of the first album’s songs or EPs around that time.
Better Together – Jack Johnson
24 July 2017
So, for people in the north hemisphere you will be having summer and for most of the south hemisphere is winter/rain season. I was thinking on a song that could connect both seasons. A song that you can listen to no matter where you are, you will end up feeling the same nice feeling.
Billie Jean – Pink Turtle
18 July 2017
After a great jazz week, why not extend it for another week showing groups making a difference in the genre. And this week we will be featuring Pink Turtle, an awesome french swing jazz band, making a great cover of Billie Jean…
Cheek to Cheek – Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga
10 July 2017
This week we are take that piano and voice from last week and we are gonna use it with Tony Bennett’s band and the incredible voice of Lady Gaga!
This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) – Natalie Cole
4 July 2017
Don’t tell me it was a difficult one! The lovely Natalie Cole is our track of the week being introduced with that perfect combination of piano, claps with a funny bass and then her voice, big bass, strings and brass section. It’s impossible to not smile to that intro and move your head with the rhythm.
Higher Ground – Stevie Wonder
27 June 2017
Stevie can’t be out of this. If you were born in the 90’s, you would know this song from the guys before in the playlist who did a blasting cover that actually sounds like Stevie’s live performance at The Beat Club in 1974 during his european tour.
