Another ten songs that you need to hear! Alex Hulme - Flow
Though not quite as emotive or hook-filed as 'Family Tree', an earlier cut from the same EP, 'Flow' once more showcases Hulme's great voice and ability to make a great, flowing, well produced indie number. (6.5/10) Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut To The Feeling
Another jaunty pop-single from Jepsen; sure it's not earth-shattering or anything but is fun enough. (6/10) Jonas Blue feat. Gina Kushka - Heartbeat
A rather stripped back tune for Blue, it's once more Kushka that really lifts the song, its heartfelt soaring lyrics complimented by the simple piano and strings. Sweet. (6.5/10) Natasha Bedingfield - More of Me
Taken from the new Tangled television show, this is a perky sunny optimistic pop tune that sees a welcome return for Bedingfield. It's inoffensive but fun. (6.5/10) NEIKED feat. Mimi - Call Me
'Call Me' is a bouncy, EDM-club song that outside of its generic chorus has a fun warming vibe thanks mainly to loveable vocals of Mimi. (6.5/10) Olly Murs - Unpredictable
Though the song might be called 'Unpredictable' the song is pretty predictable itself and by-the-numbers, but if you're a fan of Murs then you'll enjoy this light-heared pop-number. (6/10) Reverend and the Makers - Too Tough To Die
The Rev goes all White Stripes on their new single that has a delightful lo-fi feel and some poppy moments but the weird production effects on the vocals damage the words and delivery - what a weird production decision. (6.5/10) Sia feat. Labrinth - To Be Human
It's perhaps not as great as you imagine a collaboration between two great artists should be but it's well produced and sung and there's a pleasing emotion flowing through it. (6/10) Take That - New Day
You can always rely on Take That to produce a slice of uplifting summery pop and though the video may be quite weird and at odds with the sunny optimism, this is another unashamedly radio-friendly pop song. (7.5/10) Zedd and Alessia Cara - Stay
Though like many of the songs in the genre the post-chorus breakdown is cliched, the verses and Cara's delightful vocals and the general catchiness of the song's concept win out in an annoyingly catchy, quirky pop-EDM number. (7.5/10)
Ten more songs that you must hear! The Alibi - No Solution 'No Solution' is a hefty rock number but with enough of an ear for the radio to give it some more memorable moments to listen back to. (6/10) Ayo Beatz - Make It Right
Summer is always the time when we want to hear from ska and reggae-infused songs and this is one of those, mixed in with an urban feel. It perhaps doesn't get to the big chorus that you'd expect but is fun, clubby summer number. (6.5/10) foreverandever<3 w. Sameblod - feel smthn I'm not sure what it is about the song that I like but its quirky production values, reluctance to fit into a box and a vocalist that sounds like Justin Bieber if he was interested in what he was singing, make for a heady mix. (7/10) The Ghibertins - Breathe For Me With hints of Ronan Keating in the vocal style, this is a touching, on-point indie-soft-rock number with a strong central heart to its lyrics and a dramatic build up of strings that give it a haunting quality. (7/10) Hanson - I Was Born
Back to celebrate their 25th anniversary (!!) this is a great pop-indie comeback song with a Bryan Adams-esque soaring chorus. Quickly catchy and bouncy - love it! (7.5/10) Jonas Blue feat. William Singe - Mama
It might embrace more music cliches than I could list but it's a poppy, summery number with a catchy enough chorus and not too many club-music tropes to drown it in familiarity. Singe's vocals help lots. (6.5/10) Mike & The Mechanics - The Best Is Yet To Come
Mike and the Mechanics' comeback continues well. Though this isn't quite as great as the last song - it's pretty subdued and low-key - it has a strong enough production and chorus to keep you interested. (6.5/10) Miley Cyrus - Malibu
After the headline grabbing wrecking ball-era, 'Malibu' goes in the completely opposite direction as a mid-tempo, subdued, stripped-back indie-song that has its moments of pop amongst some quite somberly delivered moments. Something different from her. (6.5/10) Steve Rodgers - I Will Grow
'I Will Grow' is a smooth, atmospheric, dark number with hints of Richard Marx in its slow, building delivery and gentle, stripped-back, outlook. (6.5/10) Tuxedo - Thank You
I keep hearing more from Tuxedo and enjoying everything they put out. 'Thank You' is perhaps not as immediately great as the others but it's 70s-throwback Chromeo feel will put a smile on your face and get you moving. (6.5/10)
