New Track: Girlfriend – Alison Dell

Hailing all the way from Bristol, electro-pop songstress ALISON DELL delivers her spanking new single entitled ‘Girlfriend’, available on all download/streaming sites from last Friday.

Dell’s latest offering – which kicks off with a moody ambience, building up to an energetic outro- documents the darker side of relationships and questions the behaviours of certain people involved in them.

‘Girlfriend’ follows Alison’s debut EP ‘Over’, released last May. Lead track, ‘Grenade’, was played on BBC Introducing in the West and was praised by presenters Sam Bonham and Richard Pitt, with Sam hailing Alison “the next pop princess”.

Start your week on the smooth note and have a listen to ‘Girlfriend’.

EP Review: Invicta – Karolina Rose

With racy synth overtones meeting the atmospheric/electronic soundscapes, NYC’s KAROLINA ROSE brings on the fun factor from the eighties with her debut EP ‘Invicta’, released earlier this month.

Among the euphoric combo, Rose’s alluringly light vocals pokes through which puts me in the mind of 80s pop idols, Kim Wilde and Bananarama, especially when listening to chart-topping single, ‘Going To Berlin’ (which peaked at #12 on Hype Machine) and ‘Move With Me’.

So if you fancy a bit of cheesy pop (and I mean that respectfully) with a dollop of finesse on top, well ‘Invicta’ is worth a go. Have a. listen below:

New Track: Sweet Little Lies – Bülow

Critically acclaimed German born pop iconoclast BÜLOW has released a brand new single called ‘Sweet Little Lies’, available on all download and streaming sites.

On the meaning behind the song the 19-year-old remarked, “’Sweet Little Lies’ is about creating false realities. When things get real, we find escapes. Sometimes it’s hobbies, and sometimes it’s people. But the degree of it we can’t always control.”

The latest single arrives just after the news that BÜLOW has received four nominations for the 2019 JUNO Awards, including Pop Album of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Ahead of performing at the 2019 JUNO Awards on March 17th, BÜLOW will perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

The eagerly awaited new single follows the previously released ‘Damaged Vol. 1’ & ‘Damaged Vol. 2’, each instantly resonated with critics and new fans alike. ‘Damaged Vol. 1’ included ‘Not A Love Song’ which to date has clocked over 83 million streams.

‘Damaged Vol. 2’ included singles ‘You & Jennifer,’ ‘Honor Roll’, and buzzworthy ‘SAD AND BORED’,  praised by PAPER as, “the perfect pop study in contrasts, and further confirms bülow as an artist to watch with razor-sharp wit to boot.” HillyDilly called her “one of the brightest new talents in pop.” Last year also saw BÜLOW released much buzzed about ‘Two Punks In Love’.

Although BÜLOW has only just begun her musical journey with these recent releases, the music already stands tall as an impressive flag-bearer for things to come….
