ALMA - Chasing Highs
The best song from ALMA so far, it might have moments of inspiration from many other club songs but it's difficult not to enjoy her lead vocals even if the production is samey and chorus too repetitive. (6.5/10)
Beauty Sleep - All In
'All In' is a catchy pop-indie track with a simple yet summery choral hook and a nice laid-back vibe that will keep you interested. (6.5/10)
Big Boi feat. Adam Levine - Mic Jack
Maybe not up to the power of Outkast at the heights of their power this is still a fun collaboration, though Levine's pop-centrered chorus is more interesting than Big Boi's OK rap-verses. (7/10)
Hailee Steinfeld - Most Girls
The lyrics and delivery are more uplifting and inspirational than the generic music backing, but as a whole this is a well-aimed slice of pop-rnb. (6.5/10)
Hebe - Take Him Down
'Take Him Down' is a catchy, indie-pop number with a catchy central hook that's like a lighter, more care-free, Florence and the Machine. (6.5/10)
Jesse Malin - Meet Me at the End of the World
The vocals may be a little muddied by the production but it's a fun and funky driving little indie-rock song with a warm vibe. (6.5/10)
Kathryn Williams - She Wears A Dress
'She Wears A Dress' is a fun, airy, laid-back number with an early summer vibe. Nice and relaxing. (7/10)
Matrix & Futurebound feat. Calum Scott - Light Us Up
Again, like many of its contemporaries, its the guest vocalist that excites more than the generic club-music, but is plenty of fun festival-focussed power even if it sounds too familiar. (6.5/10)
MØ - Nights With You
Another great pop-rnb song from MØ with plenty of balls, a bass-hefty swagger and a catchy vocal hook at its centre. (7/10)
Rita Ora - Your Song
The lyrics may be a little fag-packet and the chorus tired but it a bouncy pop-feel to keep you smiling, though it's a shadow of her previous work. (6/10)
