Another ten songs you need to hear! Alma and French Montana - Phases
Alma's best song so far, it's a mixed bag of styles and not all of them work, but there's enough in its three-and-a-half minutes to keep you entertained with a catchy chorus. (6.5/10) Embrace - The Finish Line
It doesn't really do much to combat Embrace's downbeat reputation but it's a touching, gentle ballad that hits the right spots. (6.5/10) Foo Fighters - The Sky Is A Neighborhood
A big improvement on their other recent singles, this is an upbeat and chantable number that has much more to recommend it. (6/10) Indoor Garden Party - Out of Range
'Out of Range' is a delightfully gentle and sweet pop-country number with harmonised vocals that deliver an emotive punch. (7/10) Kasabian - Ill Ray (The King)
Sounding more like classic Kasabian than their last single, this upbeat fast-paced song is a great number to sing along to and will get your feet moving! (7/10) The Lancashire Hotpots - Fussy Eater
We all know one. Another fun catchy and funny tune from the North's premiere comedy band! (6.5/10) Sam Fender - Greasy Spoon
Quite free-form and gritty, 'Greasy Spoon' has a sparky rhythm and guts that drives the track forward. (6/10) Scouting For Girls - Dancing In the Daylight
Scouting for Girls are always a bit of a guilty pleasure and never more so on this new song off their latest album. Fitting into their trademark sound this is a shameless piece of joyous pop that will get you singing along. (7.5/10) Sparks - Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me)
The second single from Sparks' latest album and this piano-led ballad is a delight, mixing up the emotion of the lyrics with the class of the duo's music and crisp production. (7.5/10) Tom Grennan - Royal Highness
Tom Grennan returns with this catchy pop number with a fun driving vibe. Fun. (6.5/10)
Here are another ten tracks worth listening to! Alex Da Kid feat. X Ambassadors, Elle King, Wiz Khalifa - Not Easy
A record that's not really as good as the sum of its parts, the emotional inputs from Alex Da Kid and Elle King give it its heart and Wiz Khalifa's rap adds a neat little urban flavour. Not bad but a tad generic in parts. (6.5/10) Creeper - Hiding With Boys
'Hiding with Boys' is a bouncy, rock number that stays on the right side of listenable compared to over the top rocking. (6/10) DJ Fresh vs. Diplo - Bang Bang (Official Audio) feat. R. City, Selah Sue & Craig David
The 'Bang Bang' riff is actually better than much of the contributions from the extended song cast list but it holds together enough as a piece of club-dance even if it's a little bit too familiar (7/10). Friends of Jo Cox feat. MP4, Steve Harley, Ricky Wilson, David Gray & KT Tunstall - You Can't Always Get What You Want
I'm not quite sure how the message of the song connects with the issues based around the sad murder of MP Jo Cox but this collaborative song is nicely done, though the mixture of voices is as messy as these records can become, but the cause is great. (6.5/10) IDER - King Ruby
'King Ruby' is a funky little dream-pop track with more electronic ambitions. It makes for a solid chill-out track. (6/10) Kelvin Jones - As You Wake Up
Kelvin Jones can usually be relied on for a listenable slice of indie, and this is no exception. It's perhaps not as noteworthy as some of his recent material but it's still worth a punt. (6/10) KT Tunstall - It Took Me So Long To Get Here, But Here I Am
Taken from her latest album this is a catchy pop-indie track that matches up Tunstall's loveable vocals with a fast-paced indie riff and a happy, positive vibe. (7/10) Little Mix feat. Charlie Puth - Oops (feat. Charlie Puth)
'Oops' with its whistle riff, retro throwback and Charlie Puth guest slot make this sound a little like his work with Meghan Trainor but that's not bad when it's as fun and poppy as this. (7/10) Stevie Wonder feat. Ariana Grande - Faith
Taken from the upcoming 'Sing' film this a catchy, funky seventies throwback that, though not particularly revolutionary, is a fun number and the best thing Ariana Grande has done in a while. (6.5/10) The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk - I Feel it Coming
Vastly better than 'Starboy', this slow and sensual collaboration with Daft Punk takes a few listens to enjoy but soon demonstrates its catchiness and sexiness. (6.5/10)
