So much new music has hit the internet today, I can't believe it! Most of it comes from British artists, but unfortunately it's just a tad bit much to put in separate items. So, I have gathered them all in this one post. The first song doesn't even need an introduction anymore! Sam Smith is definitely one of my favourite artists of 2014 and his album is sooo good, it's insane! The latest track that found it's way on the worldwide web is "I'm Not The Only One", a kind of jazzy like soothing little number, And even though his upbeat work is great as well, these type of songs are where he shines best! I just can't enough of his amazing voice! All I can say is that you should definitely buy the album! You won't regret it, it's an absolute stunner! Meanwhile, listen to "I'm Not The Only One" below. |
Next to Ameriie, there's another band making it's return onto the scene after a 2-year hiatus. Katie and Jules, aka The Ting Tings, have just released a new single called "Wrong Club" and I did actually feel like "I was in the wrong club, listening to this shit"! Because the track is something totally different than the Manchester duo's usual electro-dance-poppy sound. But they are totally on trend since it's a true disco/funk song. It's supergroovy and smooth, but in some way it doesn't really feel like a true Ting Tings record. It might just be me, but seems to me that they do the electro-dance-poppy thing so much better. Listen to the official audio for "Wrong Club" below. |
Another new track that has me a little confused, is the song Lily Allen announced on her Twitter today. She labelled "Bass Like Home" as her unofficial World Cup song, but it doesn't even mention football, let alone sound exotic or Brazilian in any way. Those facts left aside, this joint is quite AMAZEBALLS! It resembles the sound of Route 94, Clean Bandit and other similar UK artists. It's a slight step away from her usual style, but God, I am digging this! If it wasn't for her distinct voice, I would have never known it's a Lily Allen song. Jep, very pleasantly surprised by this! A perfect track to sway into the weekend! Listen to "Bass Like Home" below. |
It's clear the UK has such an abundance of talent that there just has to be something in the water down there! And like the artists mentioned above, ginger haired songwriter Ed Sheeran has been on a roll lately. His latest single "Sing" is smashing the charts and therefore he has released a special Sing EP that features a new song titled "Friends". It's another great Ed Sheeran ballad, but this time the lyrics are rather stinging to whoever this song is about. It's clear Ed was misled in this relationship and the breakup didn't end on a good note. It's basically one big "Fuck You" without actually saying those words. I wonder if this song is about Taylor Swift? :) Listen to "Friends" below. |
