Song of the Week: The Electric Sons ft. Scavenger Hunt – Reappear

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Soundcloud’s auto-play function is 99% annoying, but I never turn it off because every so often it will randomly introduce me to a poptastic tune I never would have discovered otherwise. That’s how I found Reappear, a soaring, anthemic electro-pop song from Atlanta male… Continue reading Song of the Week: The Electric Sons ft. Scavenger Hunt – Reappear

Song of the Week: Ashley Monroe – The Blade

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve become quite a fan of country (well, country-pop…) over the past few years, so I’m looking forward to the return of the Radio 2 Country digital pop-up station this week. Its arrival is timed to coincide with the Country 2 Country music festival… Continue reading Song of the Week: Ashley Monroe – The Blade

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week the semi-finals of Melodifestivalen (Sweden’s Eurovision qualifying contest) came to a close, which means all this year’s entries have been released as singles.

Song of the Week: Chelsea Lankes – Bullet

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Carly Rae Jepsen’s E*MO*TION was undoubtedly the most popular new album among the adult pop fan community last year.

Song of the Week: Flume ft. Kai – Never Be Like You

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. There are so many glitchy electro-R&B-pop songs on Soundcloud now, if I had been offered the chance to never hear another one, I’d have happily taken it. But that would have been a mistake, as I never would have discovered this new single from… Continue reading Song of the Week: Flume ft. Kai – Never Be Like You

Song of the Week: Awreeoh – Can’t Bring Me Down

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Pharrell is undoubtedly one of the most talented and versatile writer/producers around today, but his work is pretty hit and miss. I think he may have exhausted himself by creating two of the best songs of his career, Get Lucky and Happy, within a… Continue reading Song of the Week: Awreeoh – Can’t Bring Me Down

Song of the Week: Tempo Elektrik & PKay ft. Martin Carr – Going Out

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Every so often on a Friday night I get a craving for some cheap ’n’ cheerful dance music, so I tune into Steve Smart’s show on Kiss FM. I’ve discovered some brilliant remixes and club hits, and I’ll always find something to Shazam. A… Continue reading Song of the Week: Tempo Elektrik & PKay ft. Martin Carr – Going Out

Song of the Week: Venior – Sugar Rush

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m heading to Sweden’s Where’s The Music festival next month, and it’s a great opportunity to discover some new Scandi talent that hasn’t reached our international ears quite yet. One artist who’s on my “must see” list is Venior, aka 21-year-old Emelie Sederholm. She’s… Continue reading Song of the Week: Venior – Sugar Rush
