Song of the Week: Sophia Somajo – Klein Blue

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It’s hard to understand what Sophia Somajo is singing in her new single Klein Blue, but it’s only annoying because the song is so good, and I really want to sing along. Swedish singer Sophia has been making quality pop for several years, sometimes… Continue reading Song of the Week: Sophia Somajo – Klein Blue

Song of the Week: Noonie Bao – Oceans Deep

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Grimes’ recent single Flesh Without Blood could have been the song of the year, but she messed it up by overcomplicating what should have been simple. Perhaps in an attempt to be subversive, she made the chorus a complete anticlimax after the brilliant verse.… Continue reading Song of the Week: Noonie Bao – Oceans Deep

Song of the Week: Lauren Alaina – Road Less Traveled

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. If, like me, you miss Taylor Swift’s country days, you need the new EP from Lauren Alaina in your life. Her sound is pure, youthful country-pop, with sweet lyrics and strong, catchy melodies. I chose Road Less Traveled as my Song of the Week… Continue reading Song of the Week: Lauren Alaina – Road Less Traveled

Song of the Week: Elohim – Bridge and the Wall

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This is the second song I’ve really enjoyed from LA singer, musician and producer Elohim, so it’s time she got a mention here! While her debut She Talks Too Much was a bouncy electro tune with a twisted message, Bridge and the Wall has… Continue reading Song of the Week: Elohim – Bridge and the Wall

Song of the Week: Asami Zdrenka – Strange and Beautiful

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. The third and final video in Asami Zdrenka’s Cover Trilogy is here! Although I already featured her back in August, I had to pick Strange and Beautiful as my Song of the Week as it’s my favourite in the series. After tackling electro-pop and… Continue reading Song of the Week: Asami Zdrenka – Strange and Beautiful

Song of the Week: Lazyboy Empire – Vampire

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Lazyboy Empire are trying to do the near-impossible: Go viral on purpose. The unnamed duo’s debut single Vampire is a very calculated attempt at a novelty YouTube hit, timed fittingly for Halloween, and incorporating the instrument that signifies fun and silliness in 2015… the… Continue reading Song of the Week: Lazyboy Empire – Vampire

Song of the Week: Chvrches – Empty Threat

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Chvrches’ second album seems to have divided their fanbase. I’ve seen as many people disappointed by its predictable sound as those who say it’s affirmed their belief in the band. In keeping with my ambivalence to Marmite, I’m the weirdo that neither loves nor… Continue reading Song of the Week: Chvrches – Empty Threat

Song of the Week: Best Coast – Feeling OK

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week’s Song of the Week isn’t brand new, but it’s a track that has grown on me with every listen. Best Coast‘s latest single Feeling OK approaches pop from an alternative angle, yet it’s still catchy and bouncy, with an uplifting “love conquers… Continue reading Song of the Week: Best Coast – Feeling OK
