My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Aloe Blacc – ‘Wake Me Up’ Having appeared on the Avicii number one as an uncredited artist we now get his own take on it. It’s not a huge departure from the original, but forgoes the dance feel for a more straight-forward […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Cher – ‘I Hope You Find It’ Arriving once more on the chart with a cover of a Miley Cyrus song, ‘I Hope You Find It’, this is a huge contrast with the dance-y, heavily produced number of last week. Showcasing a […]
Though the message of the song is probably more important than its sound – I’m not going to go into a discussion here of whether it’s saying something crucial or is more superficial – but the balance is sought. The semi-rap delivery of the verses has more grunt than the chorus with its stomping beat […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. The Aston Shuffle – ‘Can’t Stop Now’ Australian house duo The Aston Shuffle release their pop-house number ‘Can’t Stop Now’ which at least puts a slight twist on the familiar and overused formula of 2013 with an enjoyable lead male vocal and […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Angel Haze – ‘Echelon (It’s My Way)’ Angel Haze has clearly popped down to the American equivalent of Waterstones and picked up two books: ‘The Dummies Guide To Modern Rap’ and ‘How to Act Like Nicki Minaj’, combining what she’s learnt from […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Austin Mahone – ‘What About Love’ You know when your media player of choice stutters and you get that awful stuck sound? Well here it is matched up with the sound of an angry wasp and a thumping bass, to back up […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Ben Pearce – ‘What I Might Do’ Given a new lease of life due to its appearance in a television commercial, this slick thick-bass number headed up by the Barry White-sounding Ben Pearce is a funky, laid-back number. It doesn’t really become […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Arcade Fire feat. David Bowie – ‘Reflektor’ Arcade Fire’s first cut from the album of the same name is a weird affair with many varied elements, thumping bass lines, French and an understated appearance by Mr Bowie himself. Very much like a […]
‘Fallout’ takes a few spins to settle in thanks to its gruff, dark indie sound, but once it does it shows its more enjoyable side, with its down and dirty guitar and drum lines and a chorus that just about flips into catchy territory. Once you get into its ‘test tube baby’ breakdown with the […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Biffy Clyro – ‘Victory Over The Sun (EP)’ The title track of Biffy Clyro’s latest EP sees them at their gloomy best, at least for the first ninety seconds before it flicks up the pace to ‘The Captain’ levels. There is a […]
