‘Cold Front’  appoints the ever prolific CFCF to transform her neo-soul ballad into a shimmering dose of Balearic beauty; ideal for the balmy weather we’ve been experiencing of late.

In addition to working with Dev Hynes (who produced debut single ‘Unravel’) and Rhye’s Robin Hannibal (producer of ‘Cold Front’), the Staffordshire-born songstress has also teamed up with Lana Del Ray and Bruno Mars producer Emile Haynie for her forthcoming debut record.

Calvin Harris

Calvin Harris 
 single issued off his pretty fantastic 18 MonthsLP — the Ayah Marar-featuring “Thinking About You.” This is great news, given that “Thinking About You” is the best song on the album, a hidden gem tucked away as the last track.
Sure, Ayah — who previously took on vocal duties on Harris’ brilliant 2009 single “Flashback” —  isn’t a big name yet like Florence, Ellie, Kelis or Ne-Yo. But “Thinking About You” is what you would call a proper summer single. Very proper. Here’s “In the mood for a little retro house? You can’t go wrong with ‘Thinking About You,’ which features vocals by Jordanian expat Ayah Marar. She may be thinking about you, but this jam has got us thinking about 1993.

A Fire On A Hill

“A Fire On A Hill” and it is burning up our speakers.
The track comes off of the band’s upcoming album, Unimagine, that hits stores on July 23 through Rise Records. Frontman Todd Woodley told BluntMag a little about their anticipated release. “Unimagine, for us, is the result of the last two years of our lives. Everything we have seen, learned and experienced, personally and as a band, has found its way into this record one way or another. It’s one thing to write an album, but to create something out of a deeper understanding of yourself and your abilities, especially with all the pressures of expectations you’ve built up along the way is a massive challenge. And in a way, that’s what the album is about – finding happiness and satisfaction by deconstructing what has brought you this far and creating a foundation to create and grow from.”

Britney Spears

Britney Spears 
 Ooh La La (from The Smurfs 2)

Ive Been fan longer than I'd like to admit. I used to sing her songs to myself quietly, and practice all her dance moves. Remember those two half-up ponytails she used to rock? Yeah, I did that, too.
She was special to me. So special, she was my first concert, and I had fun amidst the nosebleed seats. We like to think of Rihanna as the "good girl gone bad," but the original was Britney. She was the first (in my eyes) to go from small-town bubbly pop princess to sassy, rebellious superstar.

Miles Kane

Miles Kane
Taking Over

Taking Over', the next single from his top ten charting album 'Don't Forget Who You Are', out August 19th on Columbia Records.
Written by Miles and Ian Broudie (The Zutons, Echo and the Bunnymen), 'Taking Over' is well on it's way to being one of the festival anthems of the summer, having already got the crowds frothing at Glastonbury & Hard Rock Calling.
The album 'Don't Forget Who You Are' has struck a chord with critics everywhere, taking in four star reviews from the NME, The Independent, The Times, the Guardian, MOJO and Q who trumpeted ".it's time for Miles Kane's turn in the spotlight."

Laura Mvula

Laura Mvula 
She
has been garnering plenty of adoring reviews across the pond. Even before her debut album Sing to the Moon was released in Britain, she was shortlisted for the prestigious Critics Choice Award at the 2013 BRIT awards. Since the album was released, Mvula’s bright-hued retro-soul has been praised to the heavens for originality while simultaneously being compared to the luminary likes of Nina Simone and David Axelrod. Much of the praise is richly deserved. Sing to the Moon, which was just released here in the States, is a triumph of arrangement and melody: Songs like opener “Like the Morning Dew”, or the gorgeous title track, combine earworm hooks with beautiful, uniquely shaped verses, and showcase the open-hearted faith in the world that is clearly Mvula’s
calling card. Even when her lyrics communicate melancholy, it seems the singer has no choice but to sound defiantly anti-blue.
