In a further attempt to cheer us up as the rain pisses down on another Bank Holiday, it's time again for another selection of newer choons I have picked up on lately...
Let's open with the return of an old favourite. Produced by Calvin Harris, it's the
Scissor Sisters' new single,
Only The Horses (released on 16th April from the album
Magic Hour, due in May). This will probably take a few more listens before it can in any way compare to their brilliant back catalogue, but it is rather catchy - at least it's better than their last effort,
Shady Love (which I really did not like!). See what you think:
Speaking of blasts from the past, who remembers
Martika? Yes indeed, the
Toy Soldier popstress has broken her
twenty year silence with a corker of a comeback! Looking rather fab for a woman of almost 43, here's the dance-tastic
Flow With The Go (from her forthcoming album
Mirror Ball):
It seems hardly a week goes by without another 80s-influenced floppy-haired electro duo arriving on the scene - and here for your delectation are Tenerife's finest
Glasherz with one track called
Cellophane Sea from their forthcoming album. Shades of Ultravox and The Hurts here, methinks - and no bad thing for that:
Possibly the only Estonian act I have ever featured, here's the exotic creature known as
Kerli - with a hundred costume changes in one video - and her rather addictive
Zero Gravity:
Mr Martin Solveig's fave band (before he went off to do the bidding of Queen Madge)
Dragonette also have a new single out. The original is OK, but the remix of
Let it Go by Laidback Luke is simply phantasmagorical!
And to close, here's a boppy Garage-influenced little number from the Welsh artist known as
Bright Light Bright Light (whose
Disco Moment I raved about
last July) - it's his catchy new single
Waiting for the Feeling:
As ever, enjoy - and I look forward to hearing your views!
