In the week in which NASA announced the irrefutable presence of water on the Moon, The Moons showed their own signs of life as they released their fourth studio album Pocket Melodies. Sure, the news that there’s water on the Moon might have the greater implications for space travel, and the human race as a whole, but if psychedelic, sixties-inspired, space-pop indie is your thing, then don’t let the Moon hog The Moons’ limelight.

Arlo Parks, the London-born rising star of indie-pop with the utterly mesmerising voice, is back with her powerful new single Green Eyes, as well as news of her hotly awaited new album which will be out next year and is called Collapsed in Sunbeams.

Since The Vamps scored their first number one album with 2017’s Night & Day, they’ve been on something of a self-imposed hiatus. Their new album, Cherry Blossom, marks their first release in three years, during which time Britain’s biggest pop-rock boy band have, naturally, grown up a little. The four-piece, comprised of Bradley Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans, are not the teenagers they were when the band first came to fame.

Amy Shark wears her punk roots loud and clear in her latest single ‘C’MON’ featuring Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Veteran new-80s and chillout rocker Wil Hinkson has surprised fans with two new singles packaged with two B-side tracks.

Ariana Grande demonstrates her mastery of the pop/R&B genre in her latest single ‘Positions.’ While the song is considerably less flashy than some of her previous features, it sneaks up on the listener with its earnest declarations of love and commitment.

Passenger’s latest single ‘A Song For The Drunk And Broken Hearted’ oddly manages to invite hope and companionship despite its exploration of grief. Passenger is a complete expert at tugging at heartstrings through his soulful, melancholic, and haunting melodies but the latest venture sees the British singer delve into some hearty folk-based sounds.

Hannah Grace’s new single ‘Closer’ is a daring pop adventure that pays homage to the groovy sixties in all the right ways. It rides on an unexpected melody that takes twists and turns at each and every note, setting itself apart from every other up-and-coming feature. The Welsh singer has had a dazzling couple of years and her willingness to experiment with distinct genres and arrangements has led to yet another enchanting production. Hannah Grace’s vocals are fairly standard, but the way she delivers those mischievous verses elevates the composition tenfold. The most memorable aspect of the song is the high-pitched harmony that drives the chorus; Grace is able to punch those soaring notes with ease without losing any of the momenta. 

Artist and trailblazer Miley Cyrus has announced that her upcoming album Plastic Hearts will be released on November 27th via RCA Records.

Multi-platinum, award-winning Scottish rock band, The Fratellis, announced their global music competition today, to give one unknown music artist or band a platform to accelerate their path to stardom. 

Music mashups tend to be very hit and miss. They can either be masterful and brilliant or sad and tedious, often with little in between. But when done right, they can become pieces of art and music history. This latest offering, a delicious blend of Lady Gaga’s pop masterpiece “Just Dance” and rockers Linkin Park’s “Faint” created by YouTuber William Maranci, is absolutely done right.

Singer Daya explores the physical sensations of falling in love with her new single ‘First Time’. The 21-year-old single from Pennsylvania had stolen our hearts a couple of years back; her scintillating singles at the time showcased youthful vigour and a thoughtful maturity, an irresistible combination that was sure to put her name in our radars for good. However, following the release of her debut studio album Sit Still, Look Pretty, she’s been fairly quiet with a few singles here and there but no word of a second album. The latest entry, however, is widely associated with talk of a second album, and her core of fans couldn’t have asked for a better single. 

Labrinth pulls off yet another pristine, passionate endeavour through his latest number ‘No Ordinary.’ The British singer-songwriter has always displayed a knack for taking simple melodies and working wonders with them, and he does so again with this latest feature.

It’s more than a decade since Emma-Lee Moss, known professionally as Emmy The Great, first captured our imaginations with her delightful debut album First Love. Since then, the solo singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has called several places home: New York, London (where she spent her teenage years), Xiamen, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong (where she was born). Her latest LP, April / 月音, sees Moss explore her the impermanence of her life, the transition of one place of belonging to another, and the changing and uncertain state of these places right now.

London-based singer-songwriter Izzy Bizu dropped her latest single this week. MG follows hot on the heels of her previous single Tough Pill, which landed back in July. It’s another soulful, rich number of the sort she has carved out a burgeoning reputation for, and this time it features Bizu’s friend Dom McAllister too. The two first met when he supported Bizu on her tour of Europe in 2017. It was also co-written with another of Bizu’s friends: Tancrede Rouff.

American synthpop sensations Future Islands are back with their sixth studio album As Long As You Are, the follow up to 2017’s The Far Field. Still, though, the band remain perhaps most well known for their 2014 performance on the US TV show Letterman of their song Seasons, which thanks to frontman Samuel T. Herring’s utterly and completely compelling performance went viral (3.3 million YouTube plays and counting). And in a way, that makes sense. As a four-minute-something distillation of the band’s ethos, magic, quirks, power, showmanship, and, crucially, soul-stirring electro sound, there is little better.

Have you ever wondered what it felt like to have a panic attack in the most blissful way possible? Jesus Molina and his trio can easily show you with their recent track Night in Tunisia from Jesus' latest album, Departing.

Onto the list of rock supergroups that features the likes of Cream, Velvet Revolver, Asia, and Them Crooked Vultures you can now add The Jaded Hearts Club. Comprised of Miles Kane (lead vocals – Last Shadow Puppets), Nic Cester (lead vocals – Jet), Matt Bellamy (bass – Muse), Graham Coxon (guitars – Blur), Jamie Davis (Jamie Davis and Soul Gravy), and Sean Payne (drums – The Zutons), their Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band inspired name comes from the fact the group were originally assembled by Davis to perform Beatles covers at his own birthday party.
