It’s a wonderfully smooth selection this week, balancing heartfelt songwriting with modern R&B production. From intimate tributes to club-leaning love songs, these are the bops we’re taking into the weekend.
Indolore – Terry
Indolore delivers a deeply felt tribute that pairs delicate folk textures with soulful, emotionally direct songwriting
Terry unfolds gently with all the right acoustic tones, guitar licks and a restrained vocal that carries real emotional weight. The arrangement stays minimal, allowing each lyric to land with clarity and purpose.
Indolore, an artist shaped between Irish roots and Parisian life, channels personal loss into something intimate and universal here. Written in honour of Terry Reid, the track takes on added resonance, with its sense of reflection and quiet reverence.
And it’s drawn praise from no less than Graham Nash, who called it “a wonderful song in tribute of my dear friend Terry Reid”, reinforcing its emotional impact. It’s really, really beautiful and you can check it out below.
