Arcade Fire - Everything Now
Before Andy Williams' lawyers call them for their nod towards 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' let's enjoy this great little pop-rock song with some great vocal and musical hooks and an earworm of a chorus. Great, but familiar sounding. (7.5/10)
Jennifer Lopez feat. Gente de Zona - Ni Tú Ni Yo
Something a bit different here from Lopez as she embraces Spanish for the complete record to bring something summery that isn't Despacito! (6.5/10)
Jess and the Bandits - Kings Of Summer
One of my favourite country acts comes back with this timely seasonal song, that throws nostalgia at you to win you over in a gentle, touching, well composed number. (7/10)
Kesha feat. The Dap-Kings Horns - Woman
It might be a little NSFW, or at least for the radio, but this is Kesha back on top form with a spunky, attitude-filled number complete with a top-class brass section from the Dap-Kings Horns! Great! (7.5/10)
The Magic Gang - Your Love
'Your Love' is a nice, gentle little indie-pop number that feels like summer immortalised in three minutes. (6.5/10)
Oh Wonder - High On Humans
Shifting into something a bit more uptempo than we'd maybe expect from 'Oh Wonder', this is still a great showcase for their trademark harmonies and electronic riffs, and the text-to-speech sound samples work well. (7.5/10)
Paul Weller - Woo Sé Mama
Paul Weller perks up his sound a little with this great uptempo ditty that adds a summery feel to his usual sound. A definite grower. (6.5/10)
Rat Boy - Laidback
Appropriately his most laid back single yet, this is a classic chill-out cool single that sticks in your head after a few listens. Nice. (7/10)
Sian Cross - Gave Away
Sian Cross returns with a great atmospheric and sultry track with a strong production feel and a darker, Pixie Lott-style vibe. Great. (7/10)
Zedd and Liam Payne - Get Low
Lyrically not as strong as earlier Zedd records it's a still a fun and poppy summer anthem that will keep you moving. (6/10)
