Editors are back!
‘Can’t Hold Us’ was briefly around when it was used in a beer advert a few years ago; but was entirely underrated. But now after Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s success with ‘Thrift Shop‘, they decided to re-release it, which was completely the right decision! Macklemore’s raps command the listener from the first claim of “Return…
Alex Meehan tells you all about Vampire Weekend’s new track ‘Ya Hey’, preluding their much anticipated third album
Laurel Arnell-Cullen’s debut offering ‘Blue Blood’ is haunting to say the least. Beginning with a news sample placed over a simplistic piano riff, there’s something quite disturbing about the juxtaposition of the clip on the supernatural with the lullaby-style chords. Laurel’s vocals are spine-tingling, and can be compared to a hybrid of Ellie Goulding and…
Calvin Harris seems to be unstoppable at the moment. ‘I Need Your Love’ is his eighth top-ten single from his chart-topping album 18 Months. And this collaboration with Ellie Goulding proves exactly why the album has been such a success. Goulding’s ethereal vocals sit perfectly over Harris’ skilfully crafted beats, and the Scottish producer provides…
Vampire Weekend’s latest offering is a toe-tapping tune slightly reminiscent of more upbeat 1950’s jazz. A slicker sound than the crazy pop we know (and love) from the likes of ‘A-Punk’, ‘Diane Young’ has a more mature vibe but is no less infectious and Ezra Koenig’s upbeat vocals maintain the summery sound I for one…
Megan Downing tells us why she thinks ‘Need U (100%)’ is just a great pop song!
will.i.am’s collaboration with Justin Bieber screams “overdone”.
Their new single ‘Get Lucky’ marks the end of a 8 year hiatus for Daft Punk, and they’ve come back with a slick, 70’s inspired track infused with their signature electronica. After all the teasing remixes and snippets, the real thing is here. ‘Get Lucky’ wastes no time with introductions, and jumps right in with…
Michael Bublé isn’t breaking any boundaries, but his new track ‘It’s a Beautiful Day’ is sure to put a smile on your face!
Biffy Clyro’s new single ‘Biblical’ is an epic portrayal of what could be a number of different stories placed into a single song, entirely dependent upon the listener’s interpretation. The song won’t perhaps reach the heights of popularity Biffy want, but it’s interesting enough to deserve attention. Within ‘Biblical’, Simon Neil’s lyrics illustrate an irrational…
After the bombastic energy of previous singles ‘Inhaler’ and ‘My Number’,’ Late Night’ – the third single to come from Holy Fire – is a significantly more subdued and melancholic affair.
Whilst you may not know An Escape Plan by name you will certainly be familiar with their single ‘Living Together’ as it has recently featured in Ikea’s latest advertising campaign. But do not be fooled into thinking this is a ballad about reasonably priced flat packed furniture. Instead this is a delightful little number that…
‘All Around the World’ is the latest offering from Canadian tween heart throb Justin Bieber. It features his second collaboration with rapper Ludacris since 2010 single ‘Baby’ (arguably the track that launched Bieber’s career). And despite myself, I liked ‘Baby’. It was catchy and poppy and a complete guilty pleasure, so I was hoping for…
