    Mike Blue Releases 'Battles We Have Won'

    Mike Blue Releases ‘Battles We Have Won’

    Mike Blue is someone who reminds me of a musical comet, in that he regularly drops into our conscious and then seemingly disappears again, having left traces of universal musical magic for us to feast on. And with Battles We Have Won, he again blazes his creativity across the cultural firmament for all to see. And what a vision! I have always considered the mercurial Mr Blue as being somewhat of a song-writing talent, but…

    New Noise: December Roundup For those of us who hoped that 2021 would provide something of a new start from the horror that was 2020, the new year didn’t quite press the re-set button to a state of what could be glibly called “normality”.
