Addison Rae – Fame Is A Gun
It took me a bit to return round to this and I’m nonetheless not completely offered on the Addison hype, however I admire the icy, early-2000’s Annie homage on this observe. She must launch extra uptempo materials.
Agnes – Balenciaga Coated Eyes
Her final album was implausible so this has lots to reside as much as. Its disco-house sound looks like a pure extension.
Amaarae – S.M.O.
The manufacturing on that is so hypnotic.
Andy Bell – Dance For Mercy
The Erasure frontman launched his first solo album in a few years and it’s tremendous robust. This track is my standout. It’s a mega banger with a killer refrain.
Beks – I Knew A Lady
Wonderful electropop with some addictive melodic turns.
Benjamin – Lokki
The factor is, Benjamin at all times releases bangers. It’s superb how each single track is nothing in need of spectacular. That is one more so as to add to the checklist.
Benson Boone – Mr Electrical Blue
I’m as stunned as anybody to discover a Benson Boone track in my round-up, however I’m a sucker for this energetic pomp rock model. Simply his finest single.
Betty Who – Sweat
She continues her wonderful run of 80’s synthpop anthems.
Blusher – Final Man Standing
A bit extra easy pop than their regular fare however underpinned by an insistent dance beat.
Caroline Kingsbury – Shock Remedy
The 80’s are effectively and really again with this genuine re-creation. The refrain goes off.
Charlotte Sands – Hush
A pulsing mix of rock and digital components.
Chloe Jane – Oopsie Daisy
A little bit of recession pop redux that will get the vibe completely proper.
Comanavago – Say Much less
I found this band just lately and their latest album Membership Morpheus has my highest potential advice. Their music is a lot enjoyable. It jogs my memory of early Scissor Sisters. This track is extra EDM than the funkier disco tracks that make up the majority of the venture, but it surely’s the most recent single so it will get the highlight right here. Please please please try songs like Palm Of Your Hand and Jamie, although! Significantly, this is likely one of the strongest albums I’ve heard in years.
Deco – Is It All In My Head?
A particularly enjoyable mixture of indie rock and dance music.
DE’WAYNE – Sundays
He’s gone full-on Springsteen synth rock right here and launched what is perhaps his finest track but.
Donkeyboy – Galactical Love
I used to be such an enormous fan of this band throughout their peak and it’s so thrilling to have them again with music that looks like a pure extension of their early-2010’s period.
