Song of the Week: This is the Kit – By My Demon Eye

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve recently taken to listening to Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in full every week, and it’s introduced me to some great songs that I never would have heard otherwise, such as Wonder by Blackmagic and this new track by British folk act This is the… Continue reading Song of the Week: This is the Kit – By My Demon Eye

Song of the Week: MisterWives – Machine

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. MisterWives are an American indie-pop group who don’t get much attention from pop fans, but they have actually released some really catchy tunes. I loved their anthemic 2015 single Our Own House, and their latest album Connect The Dots brings a new favourite with its lead… Continue reading Song of the Week: MisterWives – Machine

Song of the Week: Declan McKenna – Why Do You Feel So Down

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. After the last time I wrote about Declan McKenna I didn’t think I’d ever feature him again. I was a little snarky (who? me?) which led to a reader complaint, and Declan even quoted me (in an ironic way) in his Twitter bio. But I’m all about equal… Continue reading Song of the Week: Declan McKenna – Why Do You Feel So Down

Song of the Week: Pretty Much – Would You Mind

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Labels are so wary of the cost of a major pop launch  these days, that they are rare treats for us who love to follow their every twist and turn. That’s why I’m excitedly tracking Syco/Columbia’s new US boyband  Pretty Much, who I first… Continue reading Song of the Week: Pretty Much – Would You Mind

Song of the Week: Blackmagic ft. Fetty Wap – Wonder

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Since being released earlier this month, Wonder by Nigerian singer Blackmagic hasn’t attracted much interest, and this itself is a wonder. Not only does it feature Fetty Wap, but Wonder is a very current and commercial, summery song with a carnival vibe, which sounds… Continue reading Song of the Week: Blackmagic ft. Fetty Wap – Wonder

Song of the Week: Wolf Alice – Don’t Delete The Kisses

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Much like Susanne Sundfør, I’m awaiting the new album from Wolf Alice with equal parts excitement and trepidation, as I loved the last one and hope not to be disappointed by the follow-up. I can say that Wolf Alice’s Visions of a Life will… Continue reading Song of the Week: Wolf Alice – Don’t Delete The Kisses

Song of the Week: Hey Violet – This Is Me Breaking Up With You

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve been a fan of Hey Violet since I first heard of them, under their original name of Cherry Bomb, back in 2012, but they have struggled to fulfil their great potential. They started out as a more serious rock band, then went pop,… Continue reading Song of the Week: Hey Violet – This Is Me Breaking Up With You

Song of the Week: Susanne Sundfør – Undercover

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ll start by saying that if you’re not familiar with Susanne Sundfør, you should go and listen to her last album Ten Love Songs straight away. Now. Then come back and listen to her new single, Undercover. The simplest way to summarise Susanne is that… Continue reading Song of the Week: Susanne Sundfør – Undercover
