Song of the Week: Walker McGuire – Til Tomorrow

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A few weeks ago I enjoyed a country song on The Voice, started thinking about visiting Nashville (definitely has to happen in 2017), and quickly descended deep into one of my country phases. The perception of country music has definitely improved in the past… Continue reading Song of the Week: Walker McGuire – Til Tomorrow

Song of the Week: Au/Ra – Concrete Jungle

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve heard a few songs referencing Netflix but this has to be the first mentioning Amazon Prime. Au/Ra (not to be confused with Aura, who I featured in Sept) takes heavy inspiration from Lorde in her debut single Concrete Jungle, especially with the lyrics about… Continue reading Song of the Week: Au/Ra – Concrete Jungle

Song of the Week: KREAM ft. Clara Mae – Taped Up Heart

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. This new single by Norwegian duo KREAM and Swedish singer Clara Mae sounds like a collaboration between Major Lazer and Tove Lo… and now I really want that to happen. In the meantime, Taped Up Heart is plenty poptastic enough to keep us going.… Continue reading Song of the Week: KREAM ft. Clara Mae – Taped Up Heart

Song of the Week: Confidence Man – Boyfriend (Repeat)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I love discovering a song that is really unique, and this quirky new single by Aussie electro-poppers Confidence Man certainly fits the bill. I like its disparaging lyrics about a boring boy, and its layered vocals on top of a bouncy, squiggly disco track.… Continue reading Song of the Week: Confidence Man – Boyfriend (Repeat)

Song of the Week: Milly Pye – Too Many People

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. While most female electro-pop artists are fighting it out on Soundcloud to catch the attention of the major labels, Columbia have taken a leap of faith on British newcomer, Milly Pye. The 19-year-old singer has been quietly beavering away on tracks for her debut… Continue reading Song of the Week: Milly Pye – Too Many People

Song of the Week: Capital Cities – Vowels

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m not too convinced by the new DNCE single Body Moves, but this track released on the same day by Capital Cities is exactly what they should have done. Vowels has a memorable, original lyrical concept and groovy disco-pop sound, much like Cake By… Continue reading Song of the Week: Capital Cities – Vowels

Song of the Week: Aura – Indian Giver

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. It’s been a few years since Shakira has released anything poptastic, but luckily Danish pop star Aura is here to pick up the slack. Formerly known as Aura Dione, she released a series of very enjoyable songs in the early 2010s, including Geronimo and Friends.… Continue reading Song of the Week: Aura – Indian Giver
