New Music: Leanne Robinson
Promising soul funk. Check out here.
First Listen: Tennis ‘Mean Streets’
How cute is this new one from Tennis?!
Some high-brow Swedish conceptual pop…
Just because it’s an epic bit of music. It actually comes from a Swedish theatre adaptation of ‘Dracula’, by Jonathan Johansson and Johan Eckeborn.
New Music: Yellerkin
So, another Monday. Where has this year gone, by the way? Speed of light is an understatement. I’m starting the week with this bittersweet track from Yellerkin. Check out here.
First Listen: Fe ‘Mother Russia’
Something beautiful from Fe.
First Watch: MØ ‘Never Wanna Know’
I really do love this song from MØ so much. I described it as a bit Lykke Li before, but the more I hear it the more I want to say it’s also got some Motown and Lana Del Rey, all mixed up in a boiling pot of broken hearts.
New Music: Little Simz
New Music: William Carl Jr.
New Music: Helena Johansson
Free Download: Safia ‘Listen To Soul, Listen To Blues’ (Leaderboy Remix)
One of the best electro soul tracks to emerge this year by Safia gets a sexy remix from Leaderboy.
First Watch: Monsieur Adi feat. A*M*E ‘What’s Going On?’
I’ll be very upset if this doesn’t go number 1. Biggest radio-pop track from Monsieur Adi you’re likely to hear for a good few weeks I reckon. Released 17th November.
New Music: K H U S H I
This is indie that sounds a little sad and a little happy at the same time, which mixes things up in my head. But that’s a good thing sometimes. Check out here.
Now I will rant…
I hate being nasty on here, but what you’re watching right now really infuriates me. This is probably too awful to even represent the UK for Eurovision.
And then there’s new talent struggling for label support…
I actually like Geri (or at least I did when I was younger), but come on; priorities, people.
A Beyonce cover by Ane Brun & Linnea Olsson
I’m not Beyonce’s biggest fan but now that I hear this reworking by Ane Brun, it does make me appreciate ‘Halo’ more. Just slightly.
