The Reds, Pinks and Purples release their new album, Acknowledge Kindness on April 24. The 11 tracks illuminate the life of prolific songwriter Glenn Donaldson in an emotional amalgamation of past, present and possible futures
'Wandering Star' is a culmination of Haylie’s life, the wins, the losses. all the people she has met, the places she has been, and her life in Los Angeles up until this point.
'The Portcullis' draws on dungeon-synth textures, medieval ambience, and the imaginative pull of folklore. Rather than recreating the past, it opens a threshold into a world slightly outside time. At its centre is a simple question - what lies behind the portcullis? – taking the listener on a focused journey through shifting eras, symbols, and atmospheres. It plays like a lost fantasy soundtrack, inviting the listener into an adventure that feels both ancient and newly invented.
Nurtured on 90's alternative indie, lucky break's music melds the emotionality of Fiona Apple, the wide-eyed wonder of Bedouine and Americana alt-rock of Lucinda Williams.

Italian singer-songwriter Marta Del Grandi releases her new album 'Dream Life' today via Fire Records, her first new music since the effortlessly refined devotional pop of her 'Selva' album in 2023. The album reflects a growing awareness that we cannot fully control the future or the outcome of our plans. This thread weaves throughout the record, a journey that is poetic, ironic, and deeply grounded in the present.
The third single from the impending debut album from singer songwriter Haylie Davis, ‘Young Man’ is a lament for misplaced affection propelled by an echoey, yearning steel guitar. Dipping deep into Emmylou Harris’ knapsack, it’s a modern paean to a gone-too-soon acquaintance who never quite focussed on the events at hand
Today she shares the final pre-release music from the album, the title track which examines the quantum leap between reality and our dreams and ambitions, and "Shoe Shaped Cloud," a brooding study of a relationship gone awry that’s propelled by an aching vocal which recalls Radiohead at their most brittle.
‘New Leaf’ teases with a perpetual guitar line plucking at the heartstrings while a sub-melody cushions Glenn Donaldson’s nostalgic musings and marks the first taste of a new album to arrive this year
