Vox Halo ft. La Dolla – Criminal (Watch)I’ve been going on about her for months and finally we got to hear La Dolla’s debut single and get a glimpse of her popstar persona last night as the video for Criminal was released! Although Criminal is very pop, it seems EMI are positioning La Dolla as… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

The Ting Tings – Hang It Up (Watch)The Ting Tings are back… again! When a band’s debut album is as successful as The Ting Tings’ was, you expect there to be a fair bit of interest in the follow-up, however dull it is. Yet The Ting Tings’ second album has been delayed continually after lead… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Loick Essien – Me Without You (Listen)Loick Essien’s career started so well with the brilliant Love Drunk. I thought I’d finally found a Tinie Tempah type that I actually liked. Labrinth-produced Love Drunk was the perfect mix of cool, catchy and confusing. Its unusual structure kept it interesting for many listens. This new single isn’t… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

James Morrison ft. Jessie J – Up (Listen)I remember when I first heard James’ duet with Nelly Furtado, Broken Strings, I presumed it was only chosen as a single because it featured a famous popstar. In fact it was, as we now know, by far his best work and one of the best things songwriter… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Rihanna – We Found Love (Listen)Did I misunderstand or is Rihanna supposed to be a boundary-breaking popstar? I don’t exactly dislike We Found Love, there’s just nothing to it. The chorus sounds like the fade out of a song, rather than its centrepiece. Has she just picked the Calvin Harris-produced track as her lead single… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Wynter Gordon – Buy My Love (Listen)Wynter seems to have a different single coming out every few weeks somewhere in the world, whether it’s solo or a featuring slot, but she is still not well known either in the UK or her home country of America. Most people wouldn’t have a clue who she was… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

JoJo – Disaster (Listen) After 5 years and what feels like hundreds of leaks and rumoured singles, we finally have the official first single from JoJo’s third album! Considering how long ago her previous hits feel, at 20 years old she’s actually still as young as the average new popstar, so I hope the music… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Labrinth – Earthquake (Live) Labrinth made a dramatic arrival onto the UK music scene last year with his number one hit Let The Sun Shine… then promptly vanished. He’s been performing at many of the big festivals this summer which means some of the tracks from his upcoming debut album have made it onto YouTube.… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
