New Music Review #015

Ten more great tracks we'd recommend!

AronChupa feat. J & The People - Bad Water 


For a change AronChupa bring something inspired, with this gospel-tinged country-sounding ode to beer. A great, bouncy number with a unique sound. (7.5/10)

Calum Scott - Rhythm Inside


This stripped back, string-led ballad is well written and toe-tapping with its beat. (7/10)

Craig David - Change My Love


Craig David's come back continues with this good, funky little number with a strong chorus. (6.5/10)

Daya - Words


Though not as good as the main a-side this is still a strong slice of pop-rnb with the loveable voice of Daya and the strong production values taking centre stage. (6.5/10)

Gabrielle Aplin - Miss You



Though not her best work this is a welcome return from Gabrielle Aplin who can often be relied on for a fun pop song. (6.5/10)

Jack Killen - Genevieve


From its perky pop credentials to its saxophone breakdown, this is a great catchy little tune that would do well on the radio (7.5/10)

Jack Savoretti - I'm Yours


'I'm Yours' is another great touching, well written ballad from Savoretti. (7.5/10)

RAY BLK feat. SG Lewis - Chill Out


Recently hailed as one of the stars for 2017, this mid-tempo number showcases her good voice, the hooky bridge and ethereal production. (6/10)

Sløtface - Bright Lights


'Bright Lights' is a punky indie number with plenty of attitude in its simple structure. (6/10)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Wild Forever


It doesn't really do much different to her established formula but it's hard to go wrong with this fun pop number with a hooky chorus. (7/10)
