Bastille’s new single ‘Pompeii’ is great in epic proportions.
‘Animal’ is the new single from Conor Maynard‘s debut album Contrast. In my opinion it is by far the best track on the whole album. It opens the record with such a bang that it can’t be ignored and it is of no surprise that the 20 year old singer/songwriter has chosen to release it.…
‘Cold Skin’ is the first single from To Kill A King‘s debut album Cannibals With Cutlery due for release on 24th February and it demonstrates the standard we should expect from the eagerly awaited record. It’s a fantastic song with fantastic lyrics and a fantastic music video to go alongside (it really is fantastic). I feel…
It takes a lot of confidence to name your second single ‘Step Up For The Cool Cats’, let alone put a picture of a guy in full gimp gear as the cover. Apparently Palma Violets have plenty to spare then because that’s exactly what they’ve done. Running in the same vein as ‘Best of Friends’;…
‘Kiss You’ is the third single to be taken from One Direction’s recent album, Take Me Home, and is (unfortunately) a song that will invariably replay in your head for about a week after hearing it. It’s got nothing on previous singles (‘Live While We’re Young’ & Ed Sheeran penned ballad ‘Little Things’) but nevertheless…
You’d think it’d be hard for Swift to release a track that was more catchy and upbeat than ‘We Are Never Getting Back Together’; but she’s done it in the form of her upcoming single ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’. ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ is the closest thing that you could get to Taylor…
Since releasing their Delicious EP, the hype around Peace has reached fever pitch. People are now waiting on baited breath to see whether their album (due for release early next year) will live up to those expectations… And ‘Wraith’ tends to suggest it will. The track has many different layers to it – and with…
Solange Knowles has a famous sister. That is to say, a very, very famous sister… named Beyonce. You might have heard of her. In any case, Solange is her sister and, rather than try to ape the megastar in her own family, she has a history of being deliberately, obstinately, her own person. This is…
The release of comeback single ‘Cough Cough’ in the summer gave Everything Everything their first ever UK top 40 charting song. After over two a years since their Mercury-nominated album Man Alive, this single was worth the wait. They’ve maintained their distinctive sound whilst becoming more radio-friendly and ‘Cough Cough’ set the bench mark high…
Super cool Charli XCX is one of the UK’s coolest pop stars. Casually uploading photos to Twitter of herself hanging out with Sky Ferreira is not uncommon and she’s also spent a large chunk of 2012 supporting Coldplay on various legs of their Mylo Xyloto world tour. The Hertfordshire-born 20 year old has just released her Super…
‘Freedom’ – the new single from Nicki Minaj – is unlike her other recent songs. With a more stripped back sound and lyrics which ponder her success and position in the public eye, her latest release is less commercial sounding than the likes of ‘Starship’ and ‘Pound The Alarm’, but I’m not buying this supposedly…
Olly Murs is back, and he’s pretty much a big deal now he’s got Flo Rida rapping on one of his tracks. Troublemaker is the lead single from Olly’s third studio album, Right Place Right Time. And it’s everything you could want in a lead single. It’s catchy, got great guitar riffs and has Olly’s…
Upon realising that ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’ was partly sung by Labrinth, I was, the least to say, shocked. I had no idea that he could sing so beautifully, hit such notes or even show such emotion. I mainly knew him for his hit ‘Earthquake’ which shows a destructive and aggressive attitude which I also loved, so being…
Despite launching her music career by posting videos of cover songs on Youtube, Gabrielle Aplin has since become known for her own song writing talents. However, her latest venture, ‘The Power of Love’, covers the Frankie Goes to Hollywood hit from 1984. Aplin’s version was chosen for the 2012 John Lewis Christmas advert. Past adverts…
