Formerly of Silhouette, Shauna Tohill has taken a new direction and formed alt pop/rock duo Rews with Londoner Colette Williams. As a long time fan of Silhouette (since I saw them play a gig in the dome of Victoria Square 6 or 7 years ago) I was a bit alarmed at this change at first, but the moment of truth is here as Rews debut video is now available to watch.

Still retaining that signature Shauna Tohill Northern Irish sound, Can You Feel It? is an extremely high energy, catchy little number. Vaguely reminiscent of Silhouettes Can’t Keep Up which you might recognise from the NI Tourist Board adverts a few years ago, this is a welcome comparison, and still retains all the beautiful sounds that I was so worried would be lost.

This is a fantastic debut single from these ladies and I can’t wait to hear what else they’ve got in store.

I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
