Blondie - Doom Or Destiny
Another strong song from Blondie's most recent album, with a strong driving forward beat and live-friendly chorus. (7/10)
The Franklin Electric - Burning Flame
'Burning Flame' is a delightfully sweet and gentle ballad with plenty of thoughtfulness in the lyrics. (6.5/10)
Gabrielle Aplin - Waking Up Slow (Piano Version)
The original version is one of my favourite songs of 2017 but this stripped-back piano version is in many ways even more beautiful, thanks to the delightful lyrics and Aplin's accomplished vocals and piano. (8/10)
Green Day - Too Dumb to Die
With a sound harking back to the classic Green Day sound this fun, pop-punk number will get you nodding along with its fast and uplifting rhythm. (6.5/10)
Harry Styles - Two Ghosts
Slower and more sentimental than his last single, this is actually better, its stripped back and smooth delivery working really well. (7/10)
Jaded - In the Morning
Mixing in suggestive lyrics with its punchy trumpets and club sounds this is a funky and fancy club tune. (7/10)
London Grammar - Non Believer
'Non Believer' is another gentle and atmospheric track from London Grammar, with loveable lyrics that really resonate. (7/10)
Stereophonics - Caught By The Wind
Thankfully far better than their awful album lead single this is a much perkier and welcome pop number that sounds much more like the Stereophonics we know and love. (7/10)
St. Vincent - New York
I can't say I'm a huge fan of St. Vincent but I like the vibe and attitude of this song that builds up into a strong vibe with some rather pointed lyrics. (7/10)
U2 - You’re The Best Thing About Me
It's taken quite a few spins for me to enjoy this song but it's a grower with a strong chorus, that proves to be quite radio friendly. (7/10)
