This week’s new single releases – 28 April Phil Lickley’s weekly roundup of new single releases. Amplify Dot – ‘Kurt Cobain’ [rating:3/5] Refreshingly delivering a female rapper to the listing in a male-dominated feed, Amplify Dot’s second hit named after the Nirvana singer is a well constructed affair peppered with some intriguing audio hooks, but […]
Last week new UK production duo Disclosure released yet another sassy and radio-friendly pop song in the shape of ‘You & Me’, this time featuring Eliza Doolittle on guest vocals (following in the footsteps of Aluna Francis and Sam Smith). Today Disclosure have put out the promo video for ‘You & Me’, which follows a loved-up couple […]
With the success of the Sam Smith-featuring ‘Latch’ and the Aluna Francis featuring ‘White Noise‘, Disclosure are on something of a streak at the minute.

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 go somewhere but it doesn’t quite build on its initial concept; a huge chorus never really appears. The verse is touching and well balanced between the vocals of the main singer and guest artist Aguilera over some swelling strings and it finally brings a bit more power in the final third. It’ll fit nicely over the touching end of a television drama but not sure how strong it is on its own, but it’s a well meaning tear-jerker if you’re in the right frame of mind. (6.5/10)

Because Bastille have the most nominations. During […]
