It was 2003 when the world first got a chance to hear All Time Low. Their style has evolved over the 17 years they’ve been together and they now boast a full and accomplished catalogue of high profile songs and they tour (a lot), which has kept them at the top of their game as a performing band.
With ‘Love In The Dark’, Jessie Reyez continues along her upward trajectory to achieving global stardom; the single is brooding, emotional and powerful, functioning as the perfect vehicle to stretch out her vocal cords, reveal her vulnerabilities and explore a high-value production aesthetic for the accompanying music video.
Country music is definitely cool again. With lots of young artists leading the way, the genre often finds itself back in mainstream media.
There's a very strong chance you’ve heard Yael Naim’s music before, even if her name might not be familiar.
For longtime Paramore fans, Hayley Williams’ debut single ‘Simmer’ is well worth the wait. For over sixteen years, Williams has been the undisputed face of the alternative rock act as its cherished lead singer and has essentially grown to become a musical and fashion icon for rock and punk communities all across the world.
The Who, Madonna, Talk Talk, Black Sabbath, Bo Diddley, Queen and Big Country all have something in common with some of their music and James Smith can now join that list - I’ll leave the answer to the end, but it’s not too tricky a puzzle to solve.
Badly Drawn Boy releases ‘Is This A Dream?’, his first song in seven years.
Prior to ‘This is the Place’ Tom Grennan has released, or been featured on three other tracks that have made it into the top 75 of the singles chart.
Pearl Jam formed in 1990, which means that this year will mark 30 years as a group (29 since their release of their first album).
Louis Tomlinson’s new song ‘Walls’ is the title track of his latest album out next week.
Meghan Trainor is a name you’re more than likely familiar with. All About That Bass was her first major release with manager Troy Carter, and it became one of the fastest selling singles of all time reaching number one in 58 countries - an impressive feat to say the least.
Ashley McBryde is one of Country Music’s newest stars and the American born artist from Walden, Arkansas has already drawn nominations for tracks on her soon to be released second album, Never Will, which Martha Divine is taken from.
Manchester born GZ Tian is a rising star in English music. He raised a lot of excitement with his 2018 debut single release ‘Laid Back’ and has grown a steady following who have been anticipating more from the young artist.
