Oooh, if you’re a fan of CSS, you’ll no doubt like their latest single, Move.
We can’t claim to be experts on the Brazilian six-piece, so Move comes as a welcome introduction to the group. It’s a quirky slice of electro-pop, and a breath of fresh air.
Is this what we’ve been missing all this time?
Those colourful Danish wags, Alphabeat, are back with yet another piece of pop brilliance.
Of the many versions that are available, there’s a remix that places Boyfriend straight back into the 80’s.
Alphabeat aren’t one of those bands you listen to looking if you’re…say looking for the meaning of life. Or anything deep like that. What you’re more likely to get is pure bubblegum pop, and Boyfriend hits the spot on so many levels.
Otherwise known as ‘the drummer and guitarist from Queen hooking up with the vocalist from Free’.
There’s good news and bad news with this new single from Queen (+ Paul Rodgers). The good news is that it’s got some heavy riff-laden brilliance attached to it.
Brian May’s guitar work shows that he’s still got the chops (not the lamb chops - the guitar ones), and Paul Rodgers brings a powerful, bluesy voice to proceedings. OK, he’s never going to throw on a canary yellow jacket and give us Freddie MK2.
When we first heard about the new Pussycat Dolls single, it was tempting to gloat about Nicole Scherzinger coming back with her tail between her legs.
OK, it’s fair to say that Nicole’s solo stuff didn’t set the charts on fire, despite some high profile collaborations. But secretly we’re glad she’s back where she belongs. Aren’t you?
Nas has chosen Hero as the lead single from his new album, Untitled. And for the ride, he’s bringing along Timbaland’s chum, Keri Hilson.
Initially hollering like Busta Rhymes with a sore throat, Nas immediately slips into a smooth but bland verse. Sounds a lot like old-fashioned homie posturing rather than any real conviction that he’s the ‘hero’ of the title.
Steve McQueen is the latest single from The Automatic, and man is it on heavy rotation on the radio right now.
File this one under Anthems…
Because that’s what this is, a raucous rock anthem, with a banging, irrepressible chorus. If this is the lead single from their forthcoming album, then we’re in for a treat.
We here at Unreality Music don’t need much of an excuse to cast off our clothes. So, imagine our delight when the virtually unknown Ida Maria started getting airplay with this absolutely epic tune.
What with Katy Perry trying the bi-curious angles this summer, and this thumping rock anthem dedicated to getting yer kit off, we like to think that the charts are temporarily a much hornier place…
Surely this should be more controversial? Kid Rock ripping off Lynyrd Skynyrd and - worse still - singing completely different lyrics over that classic riff?
Maybe you’re a more progressive soul and believe that All Summer Long represents an opportunity to recycle a classic rock song and superimpose his own nostalgic words over the top?
The Verve are due to release Love Is Noise as the first single from their new album, Forth on 11 August 2008.
So, after 9 years apart, what should we expect from this band who once ruled the world with their Urban Hymns album?
Well, Love Is Noise turns those assumptions of a sequel to Urban Hymns on their head. The most shocking thing? It’s up-tempo.
So…Have you heard all the buzz lately about The Saturdays? You can’t escape it. And they’ve released their first single, If This Is Love, and it’s already gone Top 10.
And since they’ve toured with that veteran pop act, Girls Aloud (veteran in pop terms anyway), you could almost take that as a sign that they’re the ‘approved’ successors once Cheryl or Nadine pull the plug on that group.
