‘Given Me Joy', first aired by DJ Spen at Southport 40, is a pre-cursor to Marc Evans' forthcoming album, and to be honest if this is an indication of what to expect then the wait for it to drop will be pretty unbearable. Smooth-as-silk vocals guide the way for subtle guitar licks, deep piano chords, soaring strings and Spen’s crisp beats and despite the fact there is only one mix available at present, that should really be all you need. This is outstanding. (CZ)
