Poptron – Treat Yourself (single mix) and Saturday
The debut releases from Nick Reeve Music are ‘Treat Yourself‘ and ‘Saturday‘, both taken from the forthcoming Poptron album ‘Treat Yourself’. Both tracks are exclusive to the website and are available to download for 99p each. Poptron’s ‘Treat Yourself’ is a collective electro-pop project drawing together some of London’s brightest vocal, creative and musical talents – a quirky blend of unashamed yet abstract pop music influenced by Daft Punk, Mylo, Prince, Moby and Massive Attack…..
The album ‘Treat Yourself’ will be an electronic collection of bumper-sticker, catchy tunes influenced. Like ‘Treat Yourself’ and ‘Saturday’, the album is fun, quirky, abstract yet direct with a few contemplative moments. A concept album depicting some of the many moods of London from Friday to Saturday.
Poptron has been gaining interest and has already been associated with MTV America, Paddington Bear and the London Marathon…….don’t ask!
Head over to the NRM shop and be the first to discover Poptron!
Just when we thought Mama Razzi was sitting quietly on the musical shelf along comes the first official merchandise courtesy of fan Emma Stiling (who also features in the club sequence of the video for ‘As I Kiss You’). She used Mama Razzi as the inspiration for her GCSE textiles project and created a (distinction earning!) shoulder bag.
Emma met up with both Harriet and Nick to discuss the inspriation behind Mama Razzi and then incorporated her originality to successfully produce the Mama Razzi bag. It’s a beautifully crafted multi purpose item with a beautiful and distinct Mama Razzi lining and screen print of the duo on the front of the bag.
Great work Emma!

On March 7th at the Hinde Street Methodist Church, Annemarie Borg and Nick Reeve performed ‘Colours of Time’ concert in aid of the Peter Culverhouse Memorial Trust and Angel Covers. Annemarie and Nick, accompanied by Clive Pollard on the piano, took a romantic and poignant journey through the four seasons.
The sixty minute show included two Nick Reeve originals (A Little Bit of Summer and Stand So Tall) as well as classics like ‘Feeling Good’, ‘You’ve Got a Friend’ and ‘Hallelujah’. Annemarie sang in four languages including Swedish for the beautiful song ‘Kristallen’. The venue’s acoustics are exceptional and helped bring an intimate and enchanting atmosphere to the evening. £500 was raised which was split between the 2 charities.
