Nina Persson: Solo But Far From Alone
At its core, ‘Animal Heart’ is a record born of comfort. Not in a pipe and slippers sense, but in terms of Nina Persson’s relationship with her music, her appreciation of past successes and also her family life, which has found the Cardigans vocalist adopted as a New Yorker in recent years.

Flying Solo: Mark Morriss Strikes Out On His Own Again
Back in the mid-‘90s, the Bluetones were riding high on the crest of the Britpop wave. A string of top 10 singles and a debut album, ‘Expecting To Fly’, that briefly unseated Oasis’ (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? at the summit of the album charts secured a loyal following for the band, which in turn gave their frontman, Mark Morriss, just the platform he needed to launch his solo career in 2008 with ‘Memory Muscle’.

When Mike Portnoy quit Dream Theater in 2010, the seismic shockwaves that reverberated through the progressive metal community were enough to level a small city.

Although many still mourn their split, it can be argued that the legendary drummer’s decision was actually a blessing in disguise.
