Songs of the Month: July 2017

July and August, so far, haven’t been particularly kind to me – and that’s meant my usual music discovery hasn’t been quite as thorough as it has been earlier in the year. Still though, there’s a couple of tunes that are definitely worth sharing as usual. Selena Gomez – “Bad Liar” Formerly a bit of a pop princess, it’s interesting that Selena Gomez’ new songs are a bit edgier and tend to be inherently a lot more listenable than most other pop tunes out there.  — Read more →

Songs of the Month: June 2017

Continuing what’s been a fantastic year for music is another month worth of great tunes.  At this point I’ve already added about as many songs to my iTunes library as I have throughout 2016, and there’s still albums to come from LCD Soundsystem, The Killers and potentially CHVRCHES too – so things can still get better!

Songs of the Month: April 2017

What’s been a great year for music continues with some stellar tracks this month too. The theme, if there is one as such, might be that of redemption – with the artists here all releasing songs I really like after hitting a perhaps less than golden patch of music. As a heads-up for next month, though, there’s expected to be new CHVRCHES music and LCD Soundsystem perhaps too – so these tracks should count themselves lucky to enjoy their time in the limelight before being — Read more →

Songs of the Month: March 2017

The last month has been an incredible one in terms of new music, with new releases from some artists I’m very fond of.  But having fantastic new music from artists that you’ve never heard of, but that turn out to be pretty great in their own right makes things that bit better. Picking just six songs to sum up March has been tough, but here’s the cream of the musical crop as spring shuffles in: Martin Jensen – “Solo Dance” Tropical house is getting to — Read more →
