Detox From Grey Return With Captivating New Track “Star In My Sky”
Detox From Grey are a rising London-based group consisting of Julie on vocals and keys, Jiwoon on bass guitar and synths, and Marco on drums. The name Detox From Grey refers to the idea of letting go of negative ideas, people, and the past in order to grow. The band’s music is a reflection of this message, encouraging fans to embrace the full colour spectrum of life and make the best out of it. The band was formed after they met each other at university in London, with Julie hailing from Denmark, Jiwoon from South Korea and Marco from Italy. Despite their diverse cultural backgrounds, they share a common love for music and a passion for creating something new and unique, as can be heard on their newly released single, “Star In My Sky”.
Delivering dreamy instrumentation and ethereal vocals that will take the listeners on a sonic journey, “Star In My Sky” showcases the trio’s musical prowess. It features an eclectic blend of dream pop, alternative rock and indie-electronica, with the bassline guiding the groove and the laidback sound instantly hooking listeners before the powerful guitar riff takes over. The song is a perfect example of the trio’s ability to effortlessly weave in and out of various colour schemes and moods, delivering a sonic escapade that will keep fans engaged.
Speaking further on the new release, Detox From Grey say, “‘Star In My Sky’ is about a mix of emotions – loneliness, feeling lost, but also refusal to give up on love. Julie started working on the initial demo for ‘Star In My Sky’ during the lockdowns and sent the demo to the rest of the band, which captured that feeling of being lost and stuck – quite literally inside the house. The song came out of nowhere one late night and brought a sense of release to the frustration.” “Star In My Sky” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/dfg-sims.

jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” Has A Surprisingly Buoyant Origin
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
