With his solo album Everyday Robots due out in April, Damon Albarn has been steadily dripping new material out into the public domain. There’s been a live version of ‘Lonely Press Play’ doing the rounds, after the Blur/Gorillaz/lots-of-other-projects frontman debuted it at the Sundance Film Festival, and now there’s a stripped-back acoustic version of the…
This weekend we’ve had not one, not two but three awesome new remixes of Beyonce’s new album highlight ‘Drunk In Love’. First up, Kanye West revealed his reworking of the track on Valentine’s night – his first official new music since Yeezus. Kanye’s remix is allegedly getting its own video as well, which is expected…
My A-Z round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera – ‘Say Something’ Here’s a slow-paced piano-led ballad that is programmed to pull at your heart-strings and certainly feels like the post-Valentines come down. ‘Say Something’ is a song that you really want to…
For some reason today has seen three brilliant cover versions emerge from three of the most exciting new acts around. Scottish electro-pop trio CHVRCHES came out firing with a great cover of Arctic Monkeys’ AM track ‘Do I Wanna Know?‘ during an appearance on Australian radio. Check it out:

Doves front-man Jimi Goodwin is gearing up to the release of his first solo album Odludek next month, and has just released a promo video for the albums lead single ‘Oh! Whiskey’. Fittingly for such a calm and reflective song, the video is pretty low-key and features Jimi in contemplative mood overlooking a river.
It would be a bit of an exaggeration to suggest Klaxons have been sorely missed since their second album Surfing The Void came out a full four years ago. Their re-imagining of 90’s rave-pop culture was starting to wear a bit thin by 2010, but it’s still good news to have them back on the…

My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. The Amazing Snakeheads – ‘Flatlining’ From the same label as Franz Ferdinand comes this slow, lumbering number headed up by a sombre, gruff singer echoing over a chunky bassline.
