I featured this a while back and now the track’s got a video.
New Music: Said The Whale
New Music: My Preserver
I used to love this stuff when I was at school- and sometimes I hear something like this that stands out and it makes me feel like a kid again. They were nominated for last year’s XFM New Music Award and have already headlined some sold-out shows at London’s Borderline and 100 Club. Check out here.
First Listen: Josh Kumra ‘Helicopters & Planes’
Josh Kumra is one of the most exciting kids to come out of 2012 so far for me, and his magnificent debut single Helicopters & Planes (with U.S.G member K Koke guesting) is amazing. Produced by the man of the moment Naughty Boy, it sees Josh deliver a slice of distinctly UK hip hop soul.
New Music: JMSN
Beautiful, broody dark pop. Check out here.
Paper Crows & Interactive Videos
First Watch: Jherek Bischoff with Zac Pennington & Soko ‘Young & Lovely’
New Music: Goldroom
Dreamy sounding pop. Check out here.
New Music: The Magic
Funky, sleek pop that sounds perfect with a bit of sun. Check out here.
New Music: Ghost Beach
First Watch: G-Eazy ‘Marilyn’
Para One ft Teki Latex ‘Lean On Me’
This is a bit TEED-sounding, and I think it’s a cute way to end the week with. So I hope it makes you smile, it’s a happy track.
Bananas & Beats
New Music: Last Dinosaurs
New Music: Amish 82
Good new Norwegian electropop. Check out here.
New Music: Trust
I can’t stop listening to this; it seems like pop’s new direction. It pulls on your heart strings and makes you shuffle your feet at the same time. Check out here.
I haven’t blogged about any J-Pop for a while…
… so here’s some Perfume. I really should start doing some more JPop and KPop stuff. I just don’t have the time. Anyone want to take the role on?
New Music: Synthcake
I haven’t heard anything like this before, so I don’t really know how to describe it. I guess it’s playful and indulgent pop. Actually, it sounds a bit like some album tracks from early Jamiroquai records. Check out here.
First Watch: Ruby Goe ‘Badman’
I can’t get enough of Ruby Goe- single by single she seems to be getting better and better. This is the video for new single, ‘Badman’. Sexy.
