My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Austin Mahone – ‘What About Love’ You know when your media player of choice stutters and you get that awful stuck sound? Well here it is matched up with the sound of an angry wasp and a thumping bass, to back up […]
Single Reviews – 2 September Find out what’s been tickling Philip Lickley’s ear drums this week and download the pick of the week’s single releases…. Cheryl – ’Under The Sun’ [rating:3.5/5] Buy: Under The Sun Sounding like her vocals have been pushed through the same tool that makes the Dalek’s sound like they do on […]
The Voice runner-up Leah McFall releases her first single proper and collaborates with television show judge Will.I.Am. With its retro and trumpet-heavy sound, and strong ‘Wizard of Oz’ theme, this isn’t a half bad track, showcasing McFall’s vocals well on its ballsy chorus, though overall ‘Home’ lacks that one solid hook that stops it from […]
Part two of my round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. John Newman – ‘Love Me Again’ After his recent appearance on the Rudimental single ‘Not Giving In’, Newman’s distinct vocals are back on this immediately catchy chant-led single that sounds like an immediate festival favourite. With elements of a […]

Part 1 of Phil Lickley’s roundup of the week’s top new single releases. Afrojack feat. Chris Brown – As Your Friend And we kick off this week with another entry into ‘Now! That’s What I Call Clichéd 2013’ with another autotune-filled, synth-heavy dance track with Chris Brown sounding so bored on the song that he […]
This week’s single releases – 14 April Reviews of all of this week’s top singles from Phil Lickley. The Brand New Heavies feat. N’Dea Davenport – ‘Sunlight’ [rating:3.5/5] Very much nailing an audio sandscape of the song’s title, ‘Sunlight’ sounds like the cousin of many a summer chill-out tune matched with Jamiroquai and, at times, […]
You couldn’t have thought of this but it’s finally here. Yes that’s true. Only three years after Will.I.Am released the single, he has now released a music video for it. The music video shows us the creative side of the Black Eyed Peas star but it’s extremely bizarre. Be ready to watch him popping out […]
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. It’s so slow it’s almost pedestrian and pretty uncommercial, but with unusual vocals […]
