Jessica Pritzel
Everybody Needs a Little Love
Review by Dave Simpson
Music has long been the passion of
Dublin born artist Jessica Pritzel.
Exercising her love of performing
both solo and as part of various
ensembles since her early years,
the singer has partaken in live
shows all around Ireland. More
recently, Pritzel has been steadily
building up her profile, appearing
on RTE’s The Voice of Ireland and
working on recording her own
material for release. Her new
single, “Everybody Needs a Little
Love”, hit the digital market on
January 2nd.
It’s a gentle and emotional piano
piece that serves as a perfect
showcase for Pritzel’s powerful
voice. As the track’s pleasant
melody develops, she impresses by
hitting some strikingly high notes
and demonstrating a wide vocal
range. The piano keys are somber
and affecting, combining classical
motifs with a contemporary pop
harmony. The result is a poignant
ballad that remains easy on the
ears from start to finish.

released “Bad World”. The latter is
another soft and solemn ballad
with more of a conventional pop
execution.

composition musically, featuring a

elements at play. Once again, the

The Quarantined
Point the Finger
Review by Lauren O'Halleron
The Quarantined are an American alternative
rock/rap/grunge band based in Los Angeles,
California. The members of the band consist of Sean
Martin on guitar/vocals, Kaspars Grinbergs on drums
and Alex Diaz on bass. They are currently signed with
Lucent Records.
‘Point the Finger’ is the first song to be released off
the band’s upcoming commercial EP ‘Life on the
Corner of the End’, due to be released on March 23rd
of this year. The video for ‘Point the Finger’ was
potential to make a mark on the
music industry. Her expressive and
innocuous sound should find
favour with a vast audience and set
her in the direction of chart
success. “Everybody Needs a
Little Love” is available for
purchase on iTunes now. For

filmed in September 2014, and it shows the band
rocking their instruments under a graffiti-laden bridge
and other derelict locations, with a beautiful sunset
thrown in for good measure. Martin takes up most of
the camera time and quickly becomes so enamoured
with the camera and creating a devilish look about
himself that he fails to keep up with the song. At times
his lips are clearly not matching the lyrics we’re
hearing and during one particularly high vocal verse,
his calm demeanour doesn’t match the aggression of
his pre-recorded vocals. It can be easily excused, as
it is the band’s first music video.
The song itself immediately gives off a Rage Against
The Machine vibe, w
