Beady Eye



Beady Eye
Amazon Dave Sitek produced BE, and there are definitely textural and instrumental similarities to TV On The Radio here (especially in the incredible horns that propel the track). It’s retro as hell, yeah, but Sitek treats that (essential) aspect of the band’s identity with a wink, and in doing so, makes it feel oddly contemporary. Liam Gallagher has got a million effects on his voice, to the extent that I can’t tell if he’s actually singing this thing at all, but whatever the hell is happening, it sounds fantastic On Later... with  Jools Holland 22.00hrs BBc 2 WEDNESDAY  The Tube

Amazon The video sees the guys performing the song on a roof, interspersed with clips of frontman Andy Brown's ex girlfriend. He's brokenhearted, and she's finding it hard to forget as she flicks through TV channels and magazines only to find their split is all over the news.
The party begins when B.o.B raps his verse, but the party's over for Andy's ex who's given the cold shoulder when she arrives.
Andy has already said that Brokenhearted is "my favourite song we have recorded to date", is it yours?

Stylo G


Stylo G

his first release since signing to 3 Beat after 2012's underground hit Call Mi A Yardie - is without doubt the most exciting track on the 1Xtra playlist right now. An intoxicating fusion of bass and reggae courtesy of new Dutch production talent Diztortion, this dancefloor and radio-friendly anthem has picked up fans across the dial from Toddla T and MistaJam to Zane Lowe and Rob Da Bank. The highest new entry on Music Week's Urban Chart last week, Soundbwoy also shot to No. 2 on the iTunes reggae chart last Saturday after being featured on Soccer AM. With a host of regional and festival appearances including Glastonbury confirmed for May and June, this could be Stylo G's summer.

Bastille


The single is full of angsty guitars, swooning violins and drums that would make Florence Welchweep. The band’s No 1 album Bad Blood is currently in its sixth week in the UK Top 13 album chart.
, however, sees Laura Palmer get the electro treatment with frantic synths and strings that take the song into proper nightclub territory.  We think it's pretty darn impressive.The Tube

Amazon Man I Need, the follow up to previous single The Throw, is now backed by some nifty tripped out animation that would go down a treat with either some 3D glasses or mushroom tea. It’s the perfect kaleidoscopic accompaniment to the epic tune and just the prescription to put a little groove into your mid-week afternoon, sucking you in from the get-go and sweetly refusing to let you go.
We’re super glad to be hearing new stuff from the pair after they were forced to cancel 5 of their Australian shows in April due to illness on Jono Ma’s part. Although it seems like it’s all under control now, with the guys scheduled to play Glastonbury next month. We hope you’re feeling better, Jono – stop being a sook and come back to Australia real soon, you hear...The Tube

Lucy Sprggan

21-year-old Sheffield hailing singer-songwriter unveiled her first single, ‘Lighthouse’.
The track tells of Lucy’s bid to crack America with her guitar, during her travels across 23 states when she was 18. Why a lighthouse of all subjects one can cover? They’re apparently her “good omen”.When I was in the US and stuff went wrong, when I’d miss the last bus or I’d run out of money, I’d always see a lighthouse on a piece of paper, beer bottle or in real life then things would start getting better.
The lesbian ‘Tea and Toast’ singer has been performing her new single up and down the country and in an interview with the Sheffield Metro that he has had “almost 20 bras” thrown at her! Bet you’re jealous boys! The Tube

AmazonThe video sees frontman Adam Levine go topless as he and the band are covered in grey paint. The more paint that gets smeared on the band, the more we get to see of them. As the song continues The Voice judge is also seen using his hands to uncover a female love interest. 
It's all a bit like the invisible man, but with up-close-and-personal shots of Adam's torso, we're hardly complaining!
With Demi Lovato going for a similar look, being painted in black for her latest Heart Attack video, it seems getting painted up is currently in vogue.The Tube
