The musical equivalent of the credit crunch is happening in the Indie scene at the moment, and it seems The Feeling may be ..er.. feeling the pinch.
Join With Us is the title track from the band’s second album, but the singles they’ve released lately don’t seem to be charting as well as the stuff from Twelve Stops And Home. Is it a general malaise in the Indie scene, or are we getting tired of The Feeling’s chirpy patter?
The long-awaited and marginally hyped second single from Leon Jackson is hitting the stores in October.
Let’s just remind ourselves of what we said last Christmas when Leon was storming the charts in a blaze of X Factor-led publicity.
Is it possible that Leon may be about to wipe the smug grin off our record-reviewing faces?
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…
Well, here it is people, the album artwork for the new The Streets album, Everything Is Borrowed. It’s due to be in an online store near you on 15th September.
The lead single from Everything Is Borrowed is The Escapist, which is currently available as a free download from their official site. The second single is the album title track, Everything Is Borrowed.
