Josh Ritter: ilikemusic because... It’s like an envelope that I can carry around with me wherever I go and I can unfold the letter at anytime.
RejinaReclusive: ilikemusic because... it helps me remember. It helps me forget. It helps me be strong and it makes me cry. Music screams the words I can't say, the feelings I can't express. It makes my heart feel alive.

Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
For the first single from his forthcoming album, "Awfully Deep," Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva takes one of his trademark body-swerves and reminds us just who the boss is when it comes to innovative, original and straight up catchy Black British music.
Over a kind of electronic-psych keyboard refrain and a steppers rhythm with Moroder hi-hats, Roots comes through with a perfectly judged vocal performance, his voice falling and rising with the music, his thoughts driving a straight line through every cliché and misapprehension about "urban" music and life.
Concerned with the moment where the whole world makes sense to you as well as the moment when you wake up and it's all gone again, "Colossal Insight" is a "grower" in the
manner of classic pop. It's the kind of record that gradually sinks its talons into your psyche, so slowly you don't even notice it happening. Until, months later, it lets you go and you find yourself in a slightly different world.
Roots Manuva - 'Colossal Insight' Game:
2005 is here and Roots Manuva is about to infect your senses in these numbing winter months with a revitalising game for his forthcoming single 'Colossal Insight', to be released on the 17th January off his fourth and most highly anticipated album yet, 'Awfully Deep'.
