Thursday 1 November: Kenny Marks – Before My Last Goodbye
Yesterday, American christian singer Kenny Marks, one of my soft rock heroes in the 80’s, passed away. I found a close-up of Kenny, a picture I took at the Christian Artists Seminar at De Bron conference center back in August 1991. Kenny was outspoken and set his priorities on spreading the gospel. Before his last goodbye he wanted to do a lot.

Tuesday 6 November: Georgi Kay – Toxins
British singer Georgi Kay released her debut album on November 2nd, According to EQMusic blog she explores the “dark side of the sonic pop spectrum. It is a realm which allows you to explore raw and honest sentiments, and create evocative soundscapes, often around poignant and moving topics, such as loneliness. From sharing her political thoughts to revealing deep-seated emotions. The hazy, sonically embedded sound clings to the breathy tonality of Georgi’s voice. For the most part, you should find her style, both melodic and vocally, chilling, yet enchanting.”
