Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Since I overdosed on country around the time of C2C in March, I haven’t been listening to it so much, but this week I revived the obsession thanks to the release of the new Maren Morris album and the new Ward Thomas single. I also… Continue reading Song of the Week: Jillian Jacqueline – Prime

Song of the Week: TINI (Martina Stoessel) – Got Me Started
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. TINI is the artist name of Martina Stoessel, the biggest Disney star you’ve probably never heard of. The 19-year-old actress and singer plays the lead role in the Disney Channel Latin America series Violetta. She also starred in her own film, titled Tini: The… Continue reading Song of the Week: TINI (Martina Stoessel) – Got Me Started
Song of the Week: Fifth Harmony – That’s My Girl
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I loved Fifth Harmony on The X Factor USA, and their early tracks like Me & My Girls and Sledgehammer, but BO$$ and Worth It were too self-consciously sassy for my liking. They’ve certainly found their place as the Plastics of the pop school… Continue reading Song of the Week: Fifth Harmony – That’s My Girl
Song of the Week: Elohim – Sensations
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I wouldn’t normally choose a Song of the Week by an artist I’d already featured a few months earlier, but this choice seems fair because Sensations is even better than Elohim’s previous peak, The Bridge and the Wall. Elohim fits into the category of… Continue reading Song of the Week: Elohim – Sensations
Song of the Week: Amir – J’ai cherché
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’m off to Eurovision for the first time this week, which as a superfan of the Song Contest, is obviously hugely exciting. I’ve been preparing by listening to this playlist of the year’s entries (in roughly best-to-worst order) compiled by my poptastic pal Talia.… Continue reading Song of the Week: Amir – J’ai cherché
Song of the Week: Beyoncé – Daddy Lessons
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I haven’t had chance to listen to Lemonade yet (or any of Beyoncé’s previous albums for that matter… maybe one day), but as soon as I heard that it featured a country song I had to check it out. While the country-dance music trend… Continue reading Song of the Week: Beyoncé – Daddy Lessons
Song of the Week: KOLAJ – The Touch
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Remember the Irish girlband Bellefire? Well, imagine them as a dance act in 2016, and that’s what the new single from LA duo KOLAJ sounds like. It’s a pretty, catchy, folky song which builds into a festival-friendly dance anthem. The Touch was originally shared… Continue reading Song of the Week: KOLAJ – The Touch
Song of the Week: Broods – Free
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I’ve always wanted to like New Zealand sibling duo Broods, especially with their connection to the brilliant Lorde, and I’m pleased to say they’ve finally got me on board with their new single, Free. It represents them coming out as a pop band at heart,… Continue reading Song of the Week: Broods – Free
Song of the Week: Big Wild ft. Tove Styrke – Aftergold
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. A few weeks ago, LA producer Big Wild (real name Jackson Stell) re-released his most popular track, Aftergold, with a very welcome addition. The song now features a joyously catchy topline from one of my favourite Swedish pop stars, Tove Styrke. Big Wild is signed… Continue reading Song of the Week: Big Wild ft. Tove Styrke – Aftergold
Song of the Week: King Deco – Castaway
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. My favourite musical discovery of the past week is Castaway by King Deco, which I found on the brilliant H&M In Store Music playlist on Spotify. I’d decided I loved it before I even reached the chorus, because its youthful, summery electro-pop sound is like… Continue reading Song of the Week: King Deco – Castaway
