Blackpool Lights Update!
Todd & Karen - Blackpool Lights
Campaign on Groover
Hey Todd & Karen! I just had a chance to listen to your new song "Blackpool Lights," and I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed. The moment the song started with "Do You Know What I'd Like to Do?," I was instantly captivated, and I felt this wave of nostalgia wash over me. The way you've managed to create such a delightful and friendly atmosphere in the song is really something special.
Your songwriting and arrangements definitely remind me of early The Kinks, and the way you both blend your Norwegian and Irish backgrounds is just so charming. I really love how the instrumentation works in harmony with your vocals; it feels like they're dancing together, creating this beautiful tapestry of sound. The lyrics are also so playful and full of life – it's impossible not to get caught up in the story you're telling.
And speaking of storytelling, I have to mention how imaginative and engaging the whole piece is. The way you paint a picture of Blackpool as a place that's cute, charismatic, and unpretentious truly makes the listener want to explore and experience it for themselves. You've definitely captured the essence of a great adventure with this song.
I'm so excited to see what you have in store for us with your upcoming music releases. I'm already planning on sharing "Blackpool Lights" with my Instagram followers – I just know they're going to love it as much as I do.

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

"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"

"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."
