I can’t help feeling that Enrique Iglesias is lowering himself with this video, an off-the-shelf rhyming clichéd dance track built around being a ‘freak’, with a video that is pretty ironic to be watching on International Women’s Day. Throw in a very familiar Pitbull opening (two introductions and a declaration of “Mr Worldwide”), though he…
Nina Simone was a great artist. But I think if she heard this adaptation of her song ‘Feelin’ Good’, so excellently covered by Muse, she might want to weep. Taking the musical riff and the chorus of the classic song and funking it up actually works well, but the overly familiar rapping of Flo Rida…
If you were to re-record Gorillaz’ ‘Feel Good Inc.’ using a microphone that was bought for £2.50 from a dodgy man in a sheepskin jacket at your local market, then you’d probably end up with verses like this. The bass-dominated riffs are atmospherically evoking and the drum beat that throws the song forward near the…
Even though it starts with a riff that sounds like a nursery rhyme crossed with a television jingle it’s a pretty distinctive start for this uplifting, perky indie-pop number that has so many catchy elements thrown into it I’m surprised it hasn’t been given a health warning. With hints of Train weaved into its verses…
Taking the original track and adding Tinie Tempah’s distinctive vocals on top has made the bland instrumental much more exciting and memorable. Yes, the lyrics are pretty derivative with a rhyming dictionary and the clubber’s guide to making a generic club track being essential source material for the piece, but as a club-friendly number it…
Taken from their upcoming album Ghost Stories Coldplay return to their earlier form of slow, ponderous ballads and ‘Magic’ is possibly the slowest amongst them. Fans of the band will lap this up and there is much to enjoy: the instrumentation and Martin’s vocals are crisp and involving and move smoothly as the song progresses,…
The British singer and songwriter, “Adam Bainbridge” aka, “Kindness” has joined forces with the Swedish singer and songwriter, “Robyn”. They have shared a new song called, “Cry Everything”. This new song “Cry Everything” is Kindness’ first music release after 4 long years. It is a follow up to 2015’s Why Do You Love? which also…
Laura Marling has today announced her fourth album will be released on 27 May. Following in the footsteps of all her other six syllable titled albums, the new LP is called Once I Was An Eagle and will be released on Ribbon Music with the above Bat For Lashes style cover. As well as announcing…
The above fan footage video shows Odd Future rapper Earl Sweatshirt perform three new songs during a surprise guest spot at a Flying Lotus gig in LA last night. The three new songs are called ‘Hive’, ‘Burgundy’ (produced by Pharrell Williams) and ‘Guild’ – and all three of them are expected to join previous release…
Do you remember Louisa from the X Factor UK? I’m sure some of you definitely remember her winning single for that show. However, she failed to give us any notable song ever since and it’s been three years now. Louisa has now premiered a new single titled “Yes” and it’s something totally different from what…
