Song of the Week: The Wind and the Wave – It’s a Longer Road to California Than I Thought

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I recently discovered this song soundtracking the trailer to a new film, Amira & Sam. The Wind and the Wave are Dwight Baker and Patricia Lynn, a Texan folk-pop duo with an emphasis on the pop. They seem to have a penchant for very… Continue reading Song of the Week: The Wind and the Wave – It’s a Longer Road to California Than I Thought

Song of the Week: Spada & Elen Levon – Cool Enough

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A few weeks ago I visited Poland and picked up a poptastic souvenir, a compilation CD called Fresh Hits 2015. It was mainly Polish and European singles that haven’t made it over to the UK, so it turned out to be a fun way… Continue reading Song of the Week: Spada & Elen Levon – Cool Enough

Song of the Week: Stan Walker ft. Ria Hall, Troy Kingi & Maisey Rika – Aotearoa

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This week’s Song of the Week is something very different, but I hope you will enjoy it anyway. Even without understanding a word of this Māori pop hit from New Zealand, I loved its uplifting melody. It turns out that Aotearoa is the Māori… Continue reading Song of the Week: Stan Walker ft.

Priscilla Renea is one of my favourite songwriters, and has also released some great songs as an artist… Continue reading Song of the Week: B.o.B. ft. Priscilla – John Doe

Song of the Week: Nicki Minaj ft. Skylar Grey – Bed Of Lies

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. With the rise of Iggy Azalea, her troubled stint as an American Idol judge (though personally I thought she was brilliant) and a gap of 2 years since her last top 10 hit, it looked like Nicki Minaj’s career was fading. That was until… Continue reading Song of the Week: Nicki Minaj ft. Skylar Grey – Bed Of Lies

Song of the Week: Fifth Harmony – Sledgehammer

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. One of the great pop mysteries of the 2010s is why Fifth Harmony, the popular girlband from The X Factor US, haven’t been launched in the UK. Perhaps Syco have convinced the girls and their team that Little Mix have cornered the pre-teen girlband… Continue reading Song of the Week: Fifth Harmony – Sledgehammer

Song of the Week: Ivy & Gold – Behind the Mask

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Behind the Mask is the latest song from Ivy & Gold’s recent Smoke & Mirrors EP to get a music video. It’s a powerful ballad which shows off singer Rachel’s distinctive vocals. As a British duo with a blonde female lead singer, they’re often… Continue reading Song of the Week: Ivy & Gold – Behind the Mask
