New Music: Pepper

I call this bubblegum drum and bass. Check out here.

New Music: Pavlov

Yes, it’s in Swedish. But it’s such a great song I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. Carries along the same veins as Oskar Linnros and Daniel Adams-Ray. Check out here.

I don’t usually post music by Arabic bands, but when someone told me about Mashrou’ Leila I now feel the need to hunt for some more stuff from the Middle East. They’re from Lebanon and they’re causing a stir for carrying a sound that supports free-thinking, religious freedom and gay rights (from what I’ve read). Makes a change from the usual sound coming out of the area.

Also check out that remix by Électro Valentíno (on the Soundcloud above) which gives their sound a whole new, fierce spin. It’s all very cool.

New Music: Emma Lewin

Swedish pop. This would fit in to Eurovision nicely. Check out here.

New Music: Maxine Ashley

There’s a rnb/ pop sound to this girl, previously featured on a summer dance hit back in 2010. Still not much around about her but look forward to seeing where she ends up. Check out here.

New Music: Killaflaw

Big rock/electro/indie sound with some blues thrown in for good measure. Check out here.

New Music: Lulu James

Lulu James has got me really, REALLY excited. I love her neo-soul sound. It’s just sheer perfection. Check out here.

New Music: Picture Book

Picture Book are brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley, born in New York City and raised in Manchester. Their father is August Darnell, lead singer and band leader of the legendary Kid Creole & The Coconuts. Check out here.

New Music: Saskilla

Catchy UK hip hop. I am particularly fond of this track. Check out here.

New Music: AME*

This is a fun bit of new pop worked on by musical prodigy of the moment MNEK. Check out here.

New Music: Lonsdale Boys Club

I guess if Take That did indie then they would sound like these guys. As it happens, they’re signed to Gary Barlow’s record label so make what you will of that. Check out here.

New Music: Viper Creek Club

I really have no idea how to describe this music. I guess it’s electro. This song sounds best with some big speakers. Check out here.

New Music: Coco Morier

The work behind this newcomer is pretty mind blowing. We’re talking about input on this sound from Peter Bjorn and John, and Lykke Li and Miike Snow. That’s amazing. It’s the sort of beat that oozes coolness without trying at all. Check out here.

New Music: Left Boy

You’ll either love or hate this, give it a go and see. Check out here.

New Music: Project Alfie

My name is Alfie, this blog is called Alfitude and this amazing soul/ hip hop crossover band are called Project Alfie- but they aren’t connected. However, it makes me so happy to know that something that shares my name can be so awesome and brilliant. The epic, emotionally wrought track was released on the Universal Compilation R&B Collection 2012, which marked Project Alfie as the only unsigned act to be featured on the album. Following its release, it became the most downloaded track on the album during its first week on iTunes. Check out here.
