This is pure, bubblegum, harmless pop. LeeLee could potentially be a bit of a buzz kid in the coming months. Check out here.
New Music: Jon Jonsson
It’s Wednesday, and its half way through my holiday and I feel like I haven’t even started my break yet, which sucks. But anyway, this Icelandic chap has an infectiously happy sound that is already very popular in his homeland. This little song that should shake any midweek blues away. Check out here.
First Listen: Parade ‘Light Me Up’
First Watch: Scarlett’s Roses ‘Truth Be Told’
How can you not smile when you hear this?! I featured these guys some time ago, and it’s great to see some new stuff coming out. You really have to give this band a listen– they’re fun!
New Music: Maya von Doll
Maya von Doll is a very special lady. That’s because she’s responsible for co-writing half of one of the standout pop albums from last year, that of Nicola Roberts‘ – including Beat of My Drum. She was also part of electro-pop band and Youtube hit, Sohodolls .The single’s just come out, and I’m so excited to see where this goes next! Check out here.

I think this is my favourite band of the week. It’s a mix of Motown, Britpop and just pure noise. It shouldn’t work, but it does. Check out here.
