Anne-Marie - Heavy
Another strong showing from Anne-Marie on this lyrically-heavy thought-provoking single that eschews a bombastic music score to concentrate on the feelings behind the words. (7.5/10)
Fickle Friends - Hard To Be Myself
'Hard To Be Myself' is a catchy, radio-friendly pop track with the occasional bit more of a bite. With elements of electronic and disco this is a fun mix. (6/10)
Kelly Clarkson - Meaning of Life
Though the chorus is less poppy you'd expect from Clarkson there's plenty of power in her vocals and she's on strong form, and it's certainly a grower thanks to its big soulful and gospel style. (6.5/10)
King No-One - Constellations
With hints of Franz Ferdinand in its guitar riff this is a fun little indie song with a poppier chorus, chants and other production effects to keep you listening. (6.5/10)
The Magic Gang - Alright
With more than a little hint of Weezer in their sound this is a gentle, soft indie number with a chorus with enough rocky guitars to hold your interest. (6/10)
Men in the Sky - Motel
With hints of indie and electronic, with hints of Mama's Gun, this is a perky cross-genre song though it's a shame the vocals feel a little too low in the mix to pop. (6/10)
NF - Let You Down
Though falling into the typical rap-verse sung-chorus template this is a stripped back touchingly written song in the vein of Professor Green. Neat. (6.5/10)
PNAU - Go Bang
It might be a pretty straight forward and generic club tune but it's sunny enough to be worth a spin. (6/10)
Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still
'Feel it Still' is a funky falsetto number with a swinging swagger that will get your hips swaying! (6.5/10)
Robbie Williams - Run It Wild
Another cut from Robbie's latest b-side album this isn't quite as distinctive or memorable as the previous cuts, but for fans of his work it fills a gap. (6/10)
