Martin Rolinski – Blame It On A Decent Matter (Listen) The fact that Martin’s debut solo single has been online for a few weeks now and I haven’t yet written about it says it all really. It’s not bad enough that I’d be ranting about how disappointing it is, but it’s not exciting enough for… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Olly Murs ft. Rizzle Kicks – Heart Skips A Beat (Listen)My admiration for Rizzle Kicks (despite their music not being my typical choice) is well documented but I never expected them to rise to fame off the back of an Olly Murs collaboration. I doubt it’s what they had in mind, either. However they are… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Lucy Hale – Run This Town (Listen)You might recognise Lucy as the star of Pretty Little Liars and Scream 4, but she’s not just an actress deciding her fame entitles her to be a popstar. She actually has pop history as she was a member of the US version of S Club Juniors, American Juniors!… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Vincent – The Moment I Met You (Listen)Super-talented Swedish pop bloke Vincent has been taking his time releasing the second single from his new album, but the wait has been completely worth it – I think this might be his best single yet! It’s in keeping with Vincent’s usual style, but probably the poppiest track… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Selena Gomez & The Scene – Love You Like A Love Song (Listen)In my last New Pop On The Block post I complained about a Disney act, Joe Jonas, being a useless American attempt at a popstar, but Selena Gomez is turning out to be quite the opposite. Although her previous singles have just been… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Jess Mills – Live For What I Die ForI am led to believe that being featured on UK dubstepper (no relation to True Steppers/Dane Bowers) Breakage’s underground hit Fighting Fire earlier this year makes Jess Mills very cool. To me she sounds remarkably like Enya, just with lots of extra crashing noises in the background.… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Jordin Sparks – I Am Woman (Listen)I’ve been a big fan of Jordin since her Idol days, and No Air and Battlefield are among my favourite songs of the past few years, so I couldn’t wait to see what she would do next. Unfortunately, as her brilliant last album wasn’t a huge success, this inevitably… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Soundgirl – Don’t Know Why (Watch)I was so pleased when I heard that new UK girlgroup Soundgirl had covered Carly Simon’s super-catchy 1982 hit, as I always thought it was a shame that early 2000s Danish singer Natasha Thomas’ version never made it over here. Thanks to the genius of Xenomania writer Miranda Cooper, Soundgirl… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Kate Ryan – LoveLife (Watch)Kate Ryan is back! Well actually I’m not sure if she ever went away, but it’s been a long time since she did anything that inspired me to write about her. To be fair, it is very difficult for anything to compare to her magnificent Eurovision entry, Je T’adore. LoveLife certainly… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

Cash Cash – Victim Of Love (Listen)Until I discovered their unattractiveness and the fact that they’ve already been around for 9 years, I was beginning to think that Cash Cash could be the boyband phenomenon that America are somehow still waiting for. Victim of Love is a brilliant pop song which, like many of the… Continue reading New Pop on the Block
