Erutan by Raindancer
Raindancer is an independently released album by Erutan also known as Kate Covington or by her youtube name Katethegreat18. On her youtube channel, she's recorded many covers that are available to to download on her website. A lot of these covers include her own special arrangements. Having already loved her cover of Come Little Children, I decided to explore her more and noticed she had released an album.

Perpetual Desolation by Sins of Thy Beloved
The Sins Of Thy Beloved are a relatively unknown Gothic Doom metal band from Norway formed in 1996 by group of friends Glenn Morten Nordbø, Arild Christensen and Stig Johansen and were originally called Purgatory, which was quite a well used name. Last.FM says there are at least 15 bands that share the name, so it was changed into The Sins Of Thy Beloved. Anita Auglend and Ola Aarrestad joined the band and then they worked on their first demo. Later on Anders Thue and Ingfrid Stensland joined a bit later on leaving with seven of them to work on their albums. But let us not forget another member of the band: Pete Johansen, who does an awesome job on the violins, which was the reason why I loved the albums so much. The violins in the metal music doesn’t sound like something that should work but it does. That’s quite a lot of members to keep up with so here’s the line-up:

Beyonce's Bible
The second album from the group, Destiny's Child turning a new page to their commercial peak. Destiny's Child were praised for their RnB tracks that contained a lot of attitude but at the same time there are many people who thought Destiny's Child was just a complicated project created by Matthew Knowles to make his eldest daughter, Beyoncé famous. It was the last album to feature Letoya Luckett and Latavia Roberson as they were removed for complaining about how unfairly they had been treated and how Beyoncé and Kelly always got the better treatment.

Stripped
Christina Aguilera is woman who I admire very much. She's an established pop singer from America who's also known for being a bit naughty. I hope people still remember her. Christina is truly a beautiful and talented woman. No one can take that away from her and she tells us this on Stripped. In this album she works with the likes of Linda Perry, Alicia Keys, Lil Kim and Redman. Stripped is her fourth studio album, though most people consider it her second because they exclude her Christmas and Spanish album. It was released in October 2002 under the label RCA.

Guide The Princess Elodie On Her Road To Coronation
Introduction I think this is one of those games that you have to try before you buy. This game was a gift to me from my friend who bought it me from Steam. It's currently available to download for £6.99 on Steam, £7.89 on GOG.com and £9.18 on Hanako Games' own website. So Steam is the best place to buy it, not only is it cheaper but the Steam App itself gives you access to its community section and there are many concise guides out there which I've found useful in the past.

Codes on a String
I honestly have no idea how Danish folk group, Valravn got into my music library, but I'm glad they did. Valravn's name is taken from Danish Folklore. The band themselves started off as an ensemble who specialised in medieval music but have since then expanded their audience and becoming a nice little folk band that makes some grand music. I enjoyed their album, Koder på snor and one of the highlights of that album for me is Kroppar.

New Horizons Indeed
The Animal Crossing Franchise has been around for years since the N64 in Japan and GameCube internationally. Each new game seems to be more popular than the last. I got into the game with New Leaf and now New Horizons, it’s follow up. To sum this game in a simple sentence it’s creating your own island for you and 10 animal villagers to live in peace and harmony. The player has great power and with great power comes great responsibility. That great power also corrupts which can turn this innocent looking game into an unexpected horror game. The mind is a powerful thing, you can create a heaven out of hell and a hell out of a heaven. This all really relates to Animal Crossing.

Ibis Wembley
I've stayed at this hotel three times: December 2015, April 2016 and December 2018. There are several hotels around Wembley but I chose Ibis the most as I've stayed in other Ibis hotels and had no issues with them. At the time of booking, it was the cheapest out of the others that were close by.

Kiss From A Rose
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea. You became the light on the dark side of me. Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill. But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen.

Harry Potter on Playstation
This was one of the games I reviewed on Ciao back in the day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter series. Whilst I'm still shocked and appauled by the original author's stance on transgendered people. It does hurt that an author of a series that I admired and looked up to turned out to have problematic views.

Rest In Peace Dooyoo
Back in the day when I wrote reviews for Ciao, I was also a member of the site Dooyoo. Many members of both sites used to cross-post there reviews and Dooyoo would often be referred to as the other side. Even though I joined both sites 2010, they had both been around since the early naughties, and they had their own European counterparts in different languages.
