Quirky, laid back pop. Reminds me a bit of HelloGoodbye. You can download the song if you like! Check out here.

New Music: De-Lor
I’m actually undecided over this- I don’t really know how to describe it. It sort of sounds like he’s just playing around with different noises and ended up making this song, but it’s nice to listen to. Check out here.
New Music: Emma-Louise
New Music: In Oceans
Mix Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ with some emo and you get this band. It’s a really big sound that catches you from the start. Then there’s the bits where they do that screaming goth singing that terrifies and pleasures you in equal doses. Move over Fall Out Boy. Check out here.
New Music: Kimbra
I’ve really been trying to get into Kimbra for some time now. She sings that laid back, jazzy funky sound which I love, and her voice is something special, but it took for me to listen to this quirky remix of her song ‘Cameo Lover’ to get in to her properly. If you don’t like this, I sort of understand why, but give it a couple of listens and it sinks in a bit. Check out here.

New Music: StewRat
I saw this over at the Guardian website and fell in love. Hip hop / electronic / soul. Check out here.
New Music: Kites
New Music: Scotty James
I can see this being played on American radio, it’s harmless teen pop that’s easy on the ears. I don’t think he’s signed by any labels yet but it’s only a matter of time. Check out here.
New Music: Eli Lieb
Amazing, beautiful talent from Eli Lieb. I haven’t heard much about this kid but am so very impressed with what I’ve seen and heard so far. Just makes your heart melt. Check out here. He’s also got some amazing covers on his YouTube which you definitely have to see.
New Music: Halos
New Music: Spiro
This is very new. Currently unsigned, Brighton-based Spiro mixes soul, dance and electro together, with lots of potential! His song ‘Faster’ reminds me of Seal’s big track, ‘Killer‘ (I can’t explain why)…
The video up here is a more acoustic version of ‘Faster’- I really recommend you listen to the electro version on Spiro’s Myspace page. Check out here.
New Music: Wolfette
Pop with a rock/ electro edge, the sound is very current and Wolfette does it well. I enjoyed listening to all the tracks she had on her Myspace. Check out here.
New Music: T. Mills
This guy just got signed to Colombia Records. It’s rap with attitude but I like the different spin he takes on things. I reckon T. Mills will be huge very soon. Check out here.
New Music: Arrange
New Music: Ola
The Swedish summer invasion continues. Ola is a recent Swedish pop institution- he’s been a staple at Melodifestivalen (Sweden’s biggest TV show) for some years and he’s now bringing his sound to the UK with the release of ‘All Over The World’ later in August. Check out here.
New Music: Childish Gambino
If there’s only one song you have time to listen to today, please let it be this, for the love of God! Over THREE MILLION views on YouTube for this kid: this has to be one of the BEST rap tracks since Tyler, The Creator. And the video is awesome. I’ve had this on loop for hours now and I just want to keep listening to it over and over and over… Check out here.
New Music: Tanya Lacey
Tanya Lacey currently features on the Loick Essien track How We Roll, which is huge over in the UK at the moment. I featured Loick back in September 2009 and look where he is now, so I want to be there with this girl too- huge talent that gives me that fresh TLC 1990’s vibe. Check out here.
