Louise has developed a habit surprising us through her comeback stints. Now she has released the official music video for ‘Stretch’ and it’s already this week’s biggest surprise. If you don’t know already, it’s 44-year old’s first single in 16 years. That’s a long time for a new single to come out by any stretch […]

Music Video Review: “Call Out My Name” by The Weeknd
The Weeknd has premiered the official music video for his latest single “Call Out My Name”. The visual sets the perfect tone with the blue shades for this melancholic track. I feel like it couldn’t have been done better. The track is taken from “My Dear Melancholy” – The Weeknd’s latest EP. I always had […]
Single Review: “Ferrari” by Bebe Rexha
Bebe Rexha is at her best in the chorus of her new single “Ferrari”. She’s so good that you will instantly fall in love with this super infectious track. It’s produced by Jason Evigan. “I’m a Ferrari After the party’s done I keep on going Missing the moments Living in the fast lane’s – Getting […]
Single Review: John Martin – ‘Anywhere For You’
“I am titanium….” Oh sorry, wrong song. But Martin’s soaring dance-ballad ‘Anywhere For You’ certainly has shades of that Guetta song in its verses, though thankfully the chorus treads its own path even if it quickly grabs the expected moments in a club song from the speeding up drum path to the breakout dance section. […]
The Cast Of Cheers Video for ‘Animals’…
Irish indie quartet The Cast Of Cheers are gearing up for the release of their eagerly awaited debut album Family (out 18 June) with the cool new video for latest single ‘Animals’, which you can see right here: ‘Animals’ follows hot on the heels of debut single ‘Family’ – and should keep the buzz for […]
Single Review: Jermaine Jackman – ‘And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’
Though he sounds more like a Jackson 5 tribute artist by name, this is a very soulful cover of a Jennifer Hudson song. Jackman can certainly hit those big notes, living up to the ethos of the talent show he has sprung from. Backed by some soaring strings this is a very good cover of […]
Single Review: Freemasons feat. Joel Edwards – ‘U Drive Me Crazy’ (EP)
Following on from the recent funky resurgence for Chromeo, here are Freemasons funking it up too with ‘U Drive Me Crazy’. Not a cover of the similarly titled ‘Fine Young Cannibals’ track, it lifts a lot of the sound you’d expect from a third new single from Chromeo and fits in nicely with that sound. […]
Single Review: Elyar Fox – ‘A Billion Girls’
After the impressively catchy ‘Do It All Over Again’ Fox has slipped a little too much into clichéd territory with this generic ode to love and girls. With some unsubtle autotune under his vocals, ‘A Billion Girls’ lacks the expected punch from this promising young artist and comes across too much like a Junior Senior […]
Single Review: David Guetta & Showtek ft. Vassy – ‘Bad’
Thankfully Guetta’s ‘Bad’ is not as bad – nay, not as horrible – as his recent ‘Shot Me Down’ adaptation which took the remix concept showcased by the Audio Bullys in 2005 and removed all the appeal. Sadly, ‘Bad’ is not a particularly original concept, including as it does every dance music trope you could […]
Single Review: Bright Light Bright Light and Elton John – ‘I Wish We Were Leaving ‘
It’s always a good investment getting Elton John on a record as his mature vocals always add a sense of gravitas, but his work on this is rather limited and fleeting compared to the vocals of the main artists. Lyrically bittersweet and touching, it has shades of the Christina Aguilera collaboration with A Great Big World, though […]
