Scala in London’s Kings Cross has been many things. It has, at one point or another, been a temporary factory for airplane parts during the First World War, a children’s cinema, a very adult cinema and also nearly bankrupted by Stanley Kubrick.

The soulful singer was celebrating the 10th anniversary of her multi Grammy award winning debut album ‘Songs In A Minor’ in a stripped down performance without the usual glitz and glamour, instead wowing the audience with just her voice alongside her piano.

Just a year after completing a marathon three-year tour of their album ‘The Blackening’, Californian metallers Machine Head are back with a new album and another UK tour. Last week, the band released their new single ‘Locust’, the first track to be taken from their as-yet-untitled seventh album, which is expected out in September. Following the album’s intended release date, Machine Head will return to the UK for the first time since early 2010, when they were nearing completion of their mammoth ‘The Blackening’ tour. Expectations for their latest offering will undoubtedly be high following the critical and commercial success of its predecessor. Upon its release in 2007, ‘The Blackening’ became widely regarded as one of the best heavy metal albums in a number of years. It earned the band their first-ever Grammy nomination as well as the prize for Best Album at both the Kerrang! and Metal Hammer Awards. The latter magazine went on to award ‘The Blackening’ Album of the Decade last year. It was also the first Machine Head album to enter the Top 20 in the UK since 1999’s ‘The Burning Red’.

“Kick back, take it all a bit easier and get a taste of the beach life,” suggests Matthews P’s website in a brief step-by-step guide to the best way of enjoying his music. It’s not bad advice either, as you’ll discover when you first give this Suffolk-based solo artist’s new EP a quick listen. As opener ‘The Breakfast Song’ confirms, this truly is a chilled-out effort. The title song is a quirky, Dylanesque acoustic number, which features an air of ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ in its gentle-paced melody. Matthew P croons his way through the track as a faint hip-hop beat retains a steady rhythm to the pleasantly sedate tempo of the music.
