Bad Feeling
What a surprise it was to discover Joy Crookes is only 17. I know that every new artist out there seems to be under 18 these days, but still this girl emanates a maturity far beyond her years.

Indulge
I discovered Jones on Later with Jools Holland where she sung the most beautiful stripped back version of this track. Raised in London by her, not surprisingly, soul loving mum. Despite their electro beats there’s a definite hint of soul in her smooth tracks. Indulge is quite an apt name as this song is quite an indulgence, the whole EP is in fact. Perfect soundtrack … Continue reading Indulge
Step Into a Christmas
Ok so it’s the 8th December and we’re well on our way to Christmas. For the next three weeks new music monday will be all about the Christmas song. It’s doubtful these songs will be new to you, but to mix it up a little I have three top threes for you. Hopefully featuring a least one you might not have heard. Today is my … Continue reading Step Into a Christmas
The Moss
A late one, but its been a busy day folks. They say you learn something new everyday and maybe you’ll get your fix from today’s new music Monday. I love Cosmo Sheldrake’s new track The Moss. It opens with the line ‘legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the tree’ and continues to provide a series of random facts in … Continue reading The Moss
Say something
I heard this song before Christmas after they performed at the American Music Awards, it instantly got me. I got lost in all the Christmas and Australia fun though and didn’t get a chance to share it with you all. The band are a twosome from New York formed when the pair met while studying music at NYU. They had their big break after their … Continue reading Say something
Rude
This little song has been stuck in my head all week. It’s the debut from Canadian band Magic! It is played constantly on the radio here, reaching no.2 in the charts. I don’t know if it was even released in the UK. It a perfect little pop holiday song with funky beat and reggae feel to it. Only one left in Australia for me, best … Continue reading Rude
So Happy Christmas
It’s only two days till Christmas so I had to choose a Christmas song for music Monday. It may not be a new one but it’s my favourite. It’s never been to number 1 but has topped a variety of ‘best of’ lists and broken records for successive top ten entries. It took two years to perfect so it’s not surprising that it’s become a … Continue reading So Happy Christmas
Glowing
I discovered this this morning and had to share it with you. From a band who currently remain anonymous, this song just beautiful. I’ve spent a little bit of time online today trying to find out who this band are and have come up with precisely nothing. They somehow managed to catch the attention of Tyler, The Creator, well known rapper and record producer. He … Continue reading Glowing
Say That It’s Love
Quick little new music Monday today as in super busy and didn’t write it up over the weekend. Young War aka Thom Stone is a singer/songwriter from Manchester. He creates fabulously smooth and warm R’n’B songs, quiet a step away from the pop R’n’B which floats the charts these days. He has now released a debut EP Rose Gold which is pretty damn good. It’s … Continue reading Say That It’s Love
Youth
Foxes is the gorgeous Louisa Rose Allen a singer songwriter from Southampton. I discovered her through my friend Roz who shazamed a background track in an episode of Gossip Girl. The track in question was this one and many months later is finally a single, released 27th October. It’s also featured in the new Debenham’s advert, I’ve said it before adverts are the place for … Continue reading Youth
