One of the things about publishing a new music blog that can give a certain sense of satisfaction is writing about a new artist and (seemingly) nobody taking that much notice and then several years later as the artists career develops observing an uptake in people writing and talking about that artist. Call it the ‘told-you-so’ syndrome if you will, but if nothing else it gives you a sense of pride as a so called new music ‘expert’ (and we use that word very advisedly because if there’s one thing we’ve learnt is that the expertise of taste in a subjective field is one that can be easily called into question).
So here’s one of those ‘told-you-so’ artists, that we’re bringing back to Breaking More Waves with a smug grin. It’s Shura, who first featured on the blog in 2011 at demo form. Those demos have metamorphosed from her early 'night folk' offerings into some lovely soft-focus 80’s referencing tunes such as this one. Touch captures that moment where you meet a former lover and there’s still undeniably some sort of feeling. “There’s a love between us still but something’s changed and I don’t know why,” she sings. Touch has already conquered the blogs and now there’s a video directed by Shura herself which features lots of gentle sexy kissing, which is always to be encouraged in our book. Apparently she’s still unsigned which we find pretty remarkable.
