All week dance duo Disclosure have been releasing a track a day, putting their own spin on some classics. Funky Sensation twists Gwen McCrae's 1981 disco original by ramping up the tempo, chopping up the funk and injecting a new level of cool.
Worth a listen.
Jason Derulo & David Guetta - Goodbye (feat. Nicki Minaj & Willy William)
Guetta has just announced the release of his seventh album next month and it's called, imaginatively, '7'. To celebrate there's a new track featuring Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj and Willy William rapping and singing along to Sara Brightman and Andrea Bocelli's Time To Say Goodbye. It is bizarre to say the least...
Don't bother.
Bring Me The Horizon - MANTRA
The Sheffield rock band have released this new single just in time for Reading & Leeds Festival this weekend - they're doing a secret set for those looking at the line-up. Expect this track to sound pretty awesome cranked up to full volume: it's the band's hardest sounding track, but it's no less catchy and melodic.
Worth a listen.
Kiiara - Gloe
Breakout hit Gold - with its stark, Lord-esque production - is still Kiiara's best known work. But this year she's already released the catchy Messy and with Gloe she's leaning towards the darkly seductive. "I'ma swallow all these diamonds, never spit 'em out," she sings in the chorus, "thinkin' 'bout how, how you taste now." Written by Natalia Kills, it's a heady concoction of lip-smacking sexual fetish and trap production delivered with breathless fervour.
Worth a listen.
Nick Jonas vs Robin Schulz - Right Now
Pop music doesn't get more basic than this. Male singer struggling to find his own sound meets generic EDM producer. That Eurodance chorus is kind of catchy, but nobody will remember it in a few months time.
Worth a listen.
