Though the song is a wry footnote after she cancelled her appearance in the next series of The Voice, this is Minogue’s best song in a long time. With Pharrell Williams on production duty he has crafted an unashamedly poppy number that is instantly catchy and harks back to Kylie’s disco days, whilst also borrowing…
The first single from their latest album Le Petite Mort, this is a song that wears its heart on its sleeve both in its music and excellent video. With a quickly perky chorus but also with a slight sombreness to its centre, the slight Manic Street Preachers sound works for James and this feels like…
Here is the former Supergrass lead singer with his John-Lewis-advert-featuring cover of The Kinks album track. Sadly it’s not a particular noteworthy song to cover or indeed a particularly exciting version of it, ambling as it does through some lacklustre verses. The slick production has a soft, chill-out vibe and as Coombes reaches the conclusion…
X-Factor finalists Loveable Rogues are back after last year’s great ‘What A Night’. Now dropped from Syco, they’ve gone independent and released this slower number, which is probably not the direction I would have suggested for them as their crazy uptempo debut was one of my favourite numbers of last year, and though a slower…
This short and simple song has the whiff of an internet record in the spirit of the Badger song coming across as little more than a repetition of the name of the now sadly deceased singer. But there’s something enjoyable about the retro rock sound that Luke Haines employs with hints of Goldfrapp and T-Rex…
Well, yes, Love, we do know your name. Here she sounds like Deborah Harry singing over a relentless metal guitar riff that a teenage band would thrust out in the hope of breaking onto the scene. ‘You Know My Name’ certainly ticks all the expected boxes – screaming vocals, heavy guitar – and the chorus…
Kylie Minogue has premiered the official music video for her latest single “Golden”. The new single “Golden” will serve as the official title track for the Australian diva’s latest album of the same name. We know it now for sure since Kylie decided to give the track visual treatment. Now that’s not for no reason….
Atoms For Peace are releasing ‘Before Your Very Eyes’ as the third single from debut album AMOK. Thom Yorke’s side project have released ‘Default’ and ‘Ingenue‘ so far, and Music Direct are reporting that ‘Before Your Very Eyes’ will follow as a limited edition 12″ single. The single will be released on 18 June, and…
I never got round to reviewing Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ new album Push The Sky Away, but I really should have done because it’s absolutely amazing. I did manage to cover the video for the brilliant ‘Jubilee Street‘ though, and now that’s been followed up by this live performance video for latest single…
Just like their music, nothing much happens in the xx’s video for new single ‘Chained’, but it’s simple beauty pulls you in anyway. Directed by Young Replicant in partnership with The Creators Project, the video features the three band members drowning in glorious slo-mo in a swimming pool. Watch the promo below and let me…
