Andy X releases ‘ Colourblind’

 



By @rybazoxo  ll Monday APRIL 7th 2024 ll

This week we got an email from Danish record label Artpop Productions and a debut single  We from Andy X. Andy is a very experienced producer, songwriter and performer on the Danish pop- and indie scene. Some of his work had airplay on BBC, Tokyo FM, Little Stevens Underground Garage (US) and many other stations around the world, but now the time is up for his first single as Andy X. He might have roots in classic rock, but ‘Colourblind’ is far more commercial. An anthemic indie-pop upbeat English-language track’ Colourblind’ has been released with an atmospheric video (link) and is very much an atmospheric song. It wouldn't sound out of place on an indie-film soundtrack and has a slightly gothic edge in delivery. Andy X delivers the music in a low-fi register that builds into a slow crescendo carried well by a string section of orchestration that builds to the song fading out. It’s a great track and reminds me of an early 00s Britpop renaissance that captivated the UK charts at about that time. 


Give the track a listen and watch the video here 


'Colourblind' is available now on all streaming platforms

Ryan Oxley Writes

 

I've written my first two monologues, which you will find on these pages; HOTEL ROOM, and LATE NIGHT, SHEAF STREET. Both are new for 2022 and have been broadcast on BBC Radio Sheffield. I'm hoping to write many more, as the year progresses. 

Back in 2000, I began by co-writing a fanzine for the indie band 'Ocean Colour Scene' and it went from there. Through a chequered career as a radio DJ, I have often written about bands, sounds, and music through the generations. The music came first though. Well-read, yes, but never about writing words down. Anyway, about 5 years ago, I began writing for the Coronation Street Blog, and a passion was reignited. Since then, I've written countless episode reviews, cast interviews, opinion pieces, and thrown thousands of words down, about my favourite TV show. I've written theatre reviews, a few pieces about The Beatles, and my other love, Morrissey.

This is basically a simple blog to promote my writing, whatever writing I do, during the weeks, months, and years. If you fancy paying me to do it, please contact me at ryanoxley60@gmail.com
