New Robin Auld single - Alternative Adult Contemporary Rock

Robin Auld is pretty much the king of South African AAC Rock, with numerous chart hits under his belt.

On November the 7th he releases a new single, the radio version of a track from his latest album, Love Kills - The Collection. We are perhaps naively calling it a radio mix because it is different to the original - we cut it down to 3:05, this in a time when radio has all but been replaced by streaming playlists.

The song is Waiting for you, written a few years back and produced by Murray Anderson, now with the edits and re-mastering by Robin himself. It's a Rocker, heavy on electric guitars, a departure from the last acoustic guitar led album title song Love Kills.

Robin comments - "The inspiration for Waiting for you comes from my affection for the songs of Lionel Bart, who wrote the music for Oliver. There's a song that Oliver sings which has the line "where is she, who I close my eyes to see, will I ever know, the sweet hello, that's meant for only me". So that's the sentiment behind the line in the song "who I see when I close my eyes".

The new release will have a "B-Side" (more nostalgia form the days of 7-singles) with a different version of his song Love Kills that was the original version recorded in Cape Town on his return from London. This version is not on the Collection release.

Waiting for you, is a popular lyric theme in rock music, but this track has Robin's deft songwriter hand in it's making. Add Auld's talent on guitar, with driving rock and tasteful solo guitar licks, and what we have is up there with the best in the genre anywhere.

The street date is 7/11/25

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s. Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases . Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux. Last month Tully was going through his archive and stumbled on a multi-track tape containing a song she recorded that never made it onto any of Lesley's main album releases and never released digitally, so not available for streaming or download.

The Tully McCully Project - meticulous, manicured, progressive rock.

It is a real surprise that Tully McCully, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer of countless artists has never released a Tully solo album - until now! The new record is titled Comedy Tragedy. Tully is the frontman and bass player of McCully Workshop, the producer of Lesley Rae Dowling and Crocodile Harris, (and many others) who have topped the charts in his homeland over the last thirty years. He is known for his entertaining (even theatrical) live presence on stage. He is a talented mimic and possesses wonderful comedic timing. On this collection he plays all but one instrument and does all the male vocals, besides his work behind the desk of his famous Spaced Out Sound Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. Recently he has been recording introspective music, notably his progrock collaboration with keyboard wizard Gordon Mackay, and his folk pop releases under the name of Jaspers's Acolytes. Anyone who is a serious contemporary music fan from 1970s and 80s wil...
