The fourth single from PATD’s fourth album is not quite as addictive as an addiction to cigarettes but it’s well worth a few drags. Comparing a relationship to cigarettes, the metaphors are present and correct on this poppier than expected number from the boys. With nods to dance music, this is different from what you […]
‘Under The Storm’ is a song with multiple identities and it struggles at times to keep them all in check but in throwing such variety at your eardrums it at least manages to hold your interest. Mixing in some beat-heavy rap sections, more traditional choruses, a layered break-down nearer the end and the clap-based opening, […]
Yes, that’s right, there’s a new Judas Priest track. For those of you familiar even with a smattering of their songs will recognise the sound. Not much has really changed over time and all the usual tropes of a Priest track are present, but in sticking firmly to what they know they have at least […]
I think the video will attract more people to YouTube than the song, but as a piece of audio ‘Smile’ shifts from the toe-tapping a cappella start to something more clubby, but still maintains that lyrical appeal like Calvin Harris back when he was still doing good music. Don’t expect too many layers from Galantis’ […]
You can always rely on Caro Emerald to nail the retro sound in her records and her latest, ‘Coming Back As A Man’, is no exception with enough brush-drum and whirring sounds to take you back many eras. The magic is wearing off a little bit by this point as it’s pretty similar to what […]
With the voice of a young Dolly Parton and a song that sounds a little too close to ‘Stairway to Heaven’ for comfort, ‘Shotgun Down The Avalanche’ is, though, a touching, stripped back country hit which certainly tries to pull at the heartstrings thanks to the beautiful delivery of Dillon whose voice, combined with the […]
The most striking eyes in music is back with this bouncy, pop number that’s not quite as immediately powerful as ‘Let Go For Tonight’ but, thanks to its fast-beat, Foxes’ alluring and strong voices and soaring strings, ‘Holding Onto Heaven’ proves to be just as listenable. Throwing in some catchy ‘ooh’ hooks in the chorus […]
Just to prove that death is no barrier for record companies to drag out new releases, here we go full circle with Timberlake merging into Jackson’s memory in this funky number which shows how similar they are. Outside of the mismatched Timberlake break-down two-thirds in this is actually a pretty polished, strong single though the […]
It might feel at points that this is a spoof song and that ‘Weird Al’ will burst out of a jeep at some point but this hit from Sparxxx is pretty solid with its mash-up of different genres. Yes, for every shout out to cold beers and hot country girls and neat guitar solos, there’s […]
I’m all for bands trying something different and not recording the same thing over and over again, but Coldplay’s ‘Midnight’ is an experiment gone too far. As a piece of ambient music it’s very involving and the mixture of Martin’s vocoder vocals and a mix of electronic instrumentation is actually quite listenable in a relaxing […]
