Lawson – When She Was Mine

Jon Davies — Sun, 27 May 2012 15:48:53 +0000

Surprisingly Lawson don’t take inspiration for their moniker from former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel or his imaginatively named TV chef daughter Nigella. Instead the honour belongs to Dr Alan Lawson, the neurosurgeon who successfully operated on lead singer Andy Brown’s life-threatening brain tumour a few years ago. It’s certainly a singular tribute. Continuing the [...]

Meek Mill Feat. Drake – Amen

Jon Davies — Sat, 26 May 2012 15:48:15 +0000

Don’t be fooled by the godly title of Meek Mill’s track. True, the Big Man does get a shout out at the beginning, but he’s receiving thanks for some stuff that he almost certainly wouldn’t approve of. “Bottle after bottle, I drink until I overdose/Pull up in the Phantom watch them bitches catch the holy [...]

Jon Davies — Tue, 22 May 2012 09:48:30 +0000

This week, everyone’s favourite synth geeks Hot Chip returned with their latest single ‘Night & Day’. The track is the first fully fledged single available from forthcoming album ‘In Our Heads’, which begins the bands new relationship with Domino Records. It seems strange to think, despite having some huge pop songs in their arsenal, Hot [...]

Kanye West Feat. DJ Khaled – Cold

Helia — Mon, 21 May 2012 15:00:44 +0000

The amount that Kanye has been in the news since hooking up with Kim Kardashian (generally noticed hanging around in the background while she hawks her wares around the world), you’d almost forget exactly what he was ever famous for in the first place. What – he’s a rapper too? Oh right. In an attempt [...]

Wretch 32 Feat. Ed Sheeran – Hush Little Baby

Huw Thomas — Sun, 20 May 2012 16:18:29 +0000

In a genre often overly concerned with bling and macho posturing, Wretch 32’s heartfelt depiction of a man reluctantly coming face to face with impending fatherhood makes a refreshing change. He articulates feelings familiar to many many young men who have found themselves in staring down the barrel of a family they didn’t plan. It’s [...]

The Wanted – Chasing The Sun

Huw Thomas — Sat, 19 May 2012 16:12:04 +0000

Those of us of a certain age will have witnessed their fair share of boyband battles. New Kids On The Block versus The Backstreet Boys, now formed Chimera-like into the initial-heavy NKOTBSB, duked it out in the States. While on the other side of the Atlantic, Take That and Boyzone grappled for the affections of [...]
