NEW SINGLE BY TODD & KAREN

A WONDERFUL GREAT REVIEW BY GHANA ONLINE MAG DULAXI

➥ GREAT REVIEW BY FRENCH INFOMUSIC!

 ➥ GREAT REVIEW BY BRASILIAN MUSIC FOR ALL!

Yet another of the greats released on Friday March 10, 2023, by the very charming Norwegian/Irish duo Todd & Karen. Needless to say “Blackpool Lights” is a tribute to an exciting place to be. Not as pretentious as its rivals in the west but certainly more cute, charismatic, delightful and much more friendly in all aspects.

Todd & Karen’s fifth song to be released recalls early The Kinks in its great arrangements, songwriting and lyrical play, and starts out with the really great and exciting “Do You Know What I’d Like to Do?”, and so the story begins. Enjoy & have a great ride. Cheers!

Music On The RoxI really enjoy the vibe of the track. You have a great voice. For us, we are gravitating towards tracks that are more vocal centric with the production value. You are very talented though. Thanks for sending it over.

Plastic MagazineCool track, really nice vocal work on this and the writing is catchy too. Liking the production and it's got good rhythm as well but I just wasn't connecting with the lyrics enough personally though, best of luck

FVMusicBlog'Blackpool Lights' is an engaging release fuelled by staccato instrumentation, charming vocals and catchy melodies. It is a release that you need to hear this Spring!

"Hey! Loved the vocals on this one. Also cool piano on this one too. Great lyrical concept and great progression of the instrumental. However I must admit that the overall vibe wasn't 100% for me"

"Ah, Blackpool lights! That's a sweet concept for a song. The music is also sweet. I like the melodies. It sounds Beatlesque. Felt though that this could be a bit more dynamic overall. Glad to hear more!"

"Absolutely a charming and heartfelt classic indie pop performance. I like the British vibe. Unfortunately, I feel the melody's a little too mainstream for my playlist, but I wish you the best of luck."
