Ten more songs we recommend that you need to hear! Alice Cooper - Paranoiac Personality
Taking some time off from the golf course, Alice is here with a psycho-sampling pop-rock number that fits in nicely with his earlier material and is pretty fun, though his voice seems a little less powerful than previous numbers. (6.5/10) Avante Black - Make A Mess
Though the drum machine is definitely on over-time here, it provides a dramatic backdrop to this bouncy, atmospheric and quirky pop number. (6.5/10) Blondie - Too Much
Blondie continue to release some great songs, and this highlight from their most recent album 'Pollinator' is a true highlight with a really catchy chorus and a joyful feel. (7.5/10) Elkie Brooks - Forgive And Forget
The gruffly-voiced singer returns with this simple and gentle little number that will take you back to an era long-gone. Nice. (6.5/10) Fall Out Boy - Champion
Though they may have disappeared from the spotlight over the last few years Fall Out Boy are still creating some great songs, such as this uplifting song. (7/10) Francis and the Lights feat. Chance the Rapper - May I Have This Dance
There's a Phil Collins feel to this record that maybe goes a little OTT with the auto-tune but there's a tear-jerking heart to the record that works of a subtle and evolving indie track with a quirky yet enjoyable electronic backing. (7/10) Kodaline - Brother
There are hints of Maroon 5 in this quieter number than I was expecting from Kodaline. With its building drum beat and sweeping chorus this is a pleasing listen with some production tricks adding to the style. (7/10) The Kooks - Broken Vow
Taken from their new singles collection 'Broken Vow' feels like classic The Kooks. Here with a pushing rhythm, this is a strong indie number. (7/10) Rudimental feat. James Arthur - Sun Comes Up
Rudimental does the impossible on this record and makes me enjoy a song featuring James Arthur. It's not an outstanding dance track but it's a good listen. (6/10) Skinny Living - Why
A simple, yet touching, single with the lead singer's vocals a delightful listen, bringing the touching lyrics to life. (7/10)
Here are another ten tracks that are worth listening to! ARCAVES - Out of the Blue
Something upbeat to start this blog with, this is a fun and funky piece of indie-electro-pop.(6.5/10) Beyond Recall - Get It Right
We always like a bit of bouncy uptempo emo rock so this high-energy number from Beyond Recall ticks those boxes for this week. (7/10) Chance The Rapper feat. Knox Fortune - All Night
The lyrics might be the definition of fag-packet-written but the poppy chorus is catchy in its simplicity and the electronic-focussed understated verses are fun enough. (6.5/10) Katy Perry feat. Skip Marley - Chained To The Rhythm
Katy Perry returns with another poppy number. It takes a few listens to show its hand and even then the lyrics are a little tired and the pop style a tad artificial, but it's pretty radio friendly. (6.5/10) Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa - Scared To Be Lonely
It may wear its club-influences on its sleeve but the vocals for Dua Lipa give it a bit more heart and the strings and classical theme lift it up even more. (6.5/10) Nell Bryden - Thought I Was Meant For You
Nell Bryden is one of the stars of the music circuit and this touching ballad is another example of some of her well written and brilliantly sung material! (7/10) Sarah Darling - Halley's Comet
Amongst all the blandly written songs we have to listen to occasionally a song stands out, and in this case it's this from Sarah Darling. Beautifully written, sung and produced, give this one more than one spin! (7.5/10) St Francis Hotel - Stay As You Are 'Stay As You Are' is a throbbing indie-electronic number with hints of 1980s Depeche Mode or Kraftwerk. Hauntingly intriguing. (6.5/10) Texas - Let's Work It Out
A bit of a change in musical direction for Texas, the 70s-influenced vibe suits her voice and it feels like a grower. (7/10) Wild Beasts - Alpha Female
The verses may drag on a little, but the bassy catchy choruses work better and there's steady driving rhythm and gritty guitars that work better. (6.5/10)
Ten more musical picks from KBPS for you to enjoy! Cascada - Run
'Run' is another uptempo catchy club-friendly number from Cascada. It might not be the most intelligent in terms of lyrics but it's bouncy enough to forgive that. (7/10) Chance the Rapper and Knox Fortune - All Night (Kaytranada Extended Joint)
One of my favourites by Chance, this mixes up electronic hooks with soulful throwbacks and enough catchy riffs to keep you interested. (7/10) Emile Sande - Highs & Lows
Another artist you can rely on for a quality single, 'Highs & Lows' sees Sande back on strong form with a soulful, poppy number that will get you signing along after those first few notes. (7.5/10) Imagine Dragons - Believer
'Imagine Dragons' return with another hefty rock number. It's not a huge departure from previous singles but the mix of vocals, choral effects and crisp production make it a really energetic number. (7/10) Jamiroquai - Automaton
Jay Kay is back with another hat and another tune, this time something much more electronic focussed. It takes a few listens to grab you but once it does its Daft Punk-feeling vibes will hook you in. (7/10) Little Mix - Touch
Another great catchy little pop number from Little Mix that sounds like one of their best for a while. It's just a shame that the video feels a tad inappropriate for their young audience. (7/10) Madness - Another Version Of Me
'Another Version of Me' is not a huge departure from the classic sound of Madness and the rhyming dictionary is plundered at times, but this slots in nicely to their discography and is as fun and poppy as you'd expect from the Nutty Boys. (7/10) Oliver Heldens - I Don't Wanna Go Home
Though it revels in its club music cliches this is still in the top half of club tunes, with a strong electronic production and a simple, catchy hook. (6/10) Rag'n'Bone Man - Skin
After two incredible singles in 'Wolves' and 'Human' Rag'n'Bone Man is back with another corker, with another singable chorus and a brilliant line in production. (7.5/10) Vant - Do You Know Me?
With rocking guitars, a rhythm that drives forwarded and an anthemic set of riffs, put this on and vent some anger with this great rock number. (6.5/10)
