It’s a new Lorde song!
“Team” is the latest single to be released in anticipation of Lorde’s debut full-length album “Pure Heroine,” due out on September 30.
This song has definitely made me more excited about the upcoming album! It’s at least as good as “Royals” and “Tennis Court.”
Following up on her excellent Eurovision song “I Feed You My Love,” here’s Margaret Berger’s latest single “Human Race.”
It’s got a futuristic vibe and, like “I Feed You My Love,” a dark electropop sound. The spoken bits remind me of fellow Norwegian pop songstress Annie.
Human Race on iTunes.
I’m generally not a huge fan of longer remixes like this, but any version of this song is bound to be pretty good. I also like how it’s called the “Summer Version” – very appropriate for such a lush, relaxing, dreamy song.
I’ve heard great things about the Netflix series Orange is the New Black. I haven’t watched it myself, but I have to say, I really like the theme music – a rockin’ tune from Regina Spektor. This is definitely one of my favorite songs that I’ve heard from her.
This has certainly been a good year for pop music EPs, with artists such as Annie, Betty Who, and Lorde releasing some great ones. Like Betty Who and Lorde, Little Daylight has been one of the best new pop acts this year. Their first original tune, “Overdose,” put them on the radar of many music lovers, and they followed that up with two more great singles, “Name in Lights” and “Glitter and Gold.”
Those three songs, as well as two new ones called “Treelines” and “Restart,” can be heard on Little Daylight’s debut EP, “Tunnel Vision.”
I was a big fan of Kishi Bashi’s delightful song “Bright Whites,” so I was excited to hear this new tune of his, which is also really good and has quite the amusing title.
This song will be on a limited edition 7″ due out September 10, and is also planned to be included on Kishi Bashi’s second album.
I’m always on the lookout for great music from around the world, so I was delighted to come across Inouwee today, an indie pop band from Denmark.
Check out my favorite track below from their latest album “Dark and White,” released in June earlier this year.
I’ll admit that I’m not too familiar with Stars’ music, other than their great song “Dead Hearts,” but I’m really enjoying this new tune of theirs, due out on September 10.
“Wishful” has a great new-wave vibe to it. Amy Millan’s vocals, alternating between soft and soaring, combine with epic drums, guitar, and synths, resulting in three minutes of awesomeness.
She’s back! Katy Perry’s highly-anticipated debut single “Roar” from her upcoming album “Prism” was set to be released on Tuesday, but it turned up online today.
I was a bit nervous when I’d heard that Prism would have a darker sound than her past music, but I have to say that I’m pleased with how this song turned out. It’s a bit more generic pop than Katy’s previous material, but it’s still a darn good pop song that will thrive on the radio.
You can listen to the song below. Click to buy on iTunes or Amazon MP3.
“Prism” will be out on 10/22/13.
