I just watched Danish X Factor, but I don’t have much to say about this week’s show as it was James Bond week. Boring! It was basically big band week rebranded and with complete impossibility of anyone doing a good song. We couldn’t even have a Rehab or Candyman. From the minute or so of… Continue reading Denmark has The X Factor! (part 5)

DevThere aren’t many things better than music which is pretty, catchy and danceable at the same time, and Dev’s music succeeds very well in that aim. Tracks such as Don’t Say That Word have a sweet, girly electro-pop sound, but interesting lyrics and song structures keep them fresh and unique. The single, Fireball, is cooler… Continue reading The Next Big Thing?

In March last year I wrote a post about all of the exciting musical films coming out in the year ahead. Some of them, such as Fame, Were the World Mine and Bandslam, have come and gone, while others are still in production! Here’s an update on those films and a guide to all the… Continue reading Let’s face the musicals… and dance! (part 2)

Chipmunk ft. Esmée Denters – Until You Were Gone (Listen)It’s a bit of a step down from Justin Timberlake, but working with Chipmunk is a great idea if Esmée wants to properly make her name in the UK. Chipmunk’s songs have gradually got poppier and this is certainly the poppiest thing he’s done so far.… Continue reading New Pop on the Block

The last part, finally! RoxThe new… Amy WinehouseI’m still slightly unsure if Rox is a girl or a band, but I’m fairly Rox is the name of the girl who sings My Baby Left Me and other similar but not quite as good songs. That’s no criticism, by the way – My Baby Left Me… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 6

MuchuuThe new… Slow ClubI’ve decided Muchuu are the indie Same Difference. They’re a young, attractive brother and sister duo, brown and blonde-haired respectively, and they’re just as adorably cute as their ace brand of indie-pop music. Milky’s vocals remind me a little of Ellie Goulding, but they succeed in being cute where Ellie’s are only… Continue reading The Next Big Thing: an A-Z of 2010 – Part 5
