New Music: Elsie
Blondie inspired disco rock with catchy guitar hooks, thumping beats and a distinctive vocal. Championed by the likes of Jim Lowe (Stereophonics) who also produced the album, Par Westerlund (The Wanted, The Saturdays), Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith/ Foreigner) and Ian Barter (Amy Winehouse). I personally think the video montage thing is mighty cheesy but if you like the song you can download a free copy on her Facebook here.

Free Download: Wolfette ‘New Wolf Coat’
Wolfette is back and is offering fans the chance to download her brand new track ‘New Wolf Coat’ for free via her official Facebook page
‘New Wolf Coat’ is a tongue in cheek nod to late 90’s indie pop. The song is about “struggling to fit in and wanting to rip off the mask that you’ve been hiding behind,” explains Wolfette. “It’s about trying to live up to expectations but realising you’re not being true to yourself and trying to work out who the real you is.”
Free Download: Mint Julep ‘Aviary’
This is a stunning piece of breezy pop. “Mint Julep is the husband-and-wife team of Keith and Hollie Kenniff; they make lustrous modern pop music that is wistful and mellifluous.”
