Lily Allen-Air Balloon

Lily Allen
Air Balloon
Released 2nd March


Miss Allen, like most people during their retirement, has clearly been listening to M.I.A. because her influences feature heavily in Lily’s latest track Air Balloon. That’s not to state this isn’t an Allen Original as it most certainly is. From the sweet “Landan” vocals to the fluttering backing track, Air Balloon is insanely catchy. As Lily herself tweeted “If you thought the Bear and Hare was annoying, you won't want to watch this” before tweeting the lyrics“Na Na Na Na Na Na . Na . Na Na nanana mmmmmm.”. It’s infectious, light and bubbly, and a return of Lily to the pop world. The music video is yet to be released, but reportedly features Lily dancing with Zebras…Nope, Me neither! The album is yet to be titled, but the tracklist is starting to look very good.

"Come meet me in the Sky/Up in My Air Balloon"

Shakira feat. Rihanna- Can’t remember To Forget You

Shakira feat. Rihanna
Can’t remember To Forget You
Released Now


Who doesn’t love a bit of Shakira? A lovely bit of Waka Waka in the morning is a sure-fire way to brighten up any day. But Shakira and Rihanna?! Now that will keep you going for at least week..! Available NOW, Can’t Remember To Forget You see’s both Ri-Ri and Sha-Sha (May catch on!) bounce along through a mix of Latin and rock beats to a Kelly Clarkson-esque guitar heavy chorus. In doing so, they deliver a solid pop-duet.

Paloma Faith- Can't Rely On You

Paloma Faith
Can't Rely On You
Released Feb. 23rd

“Everybody get up!”; There’s a distinctive Pharrel Williams feel to Paloma’s latest musical offering Can’t Rely On You, which could possibly be due to the fact that he both produced and features in it. Gritty and powerful, Paloma injects some James Brown-esque soul back into the pop world. Looped funky beats make this 'on trend', but the vocals make this all Paloma. Taken from her upcoming third album, A Perfect Contradiction, Paloma has reportedly stated that its time to "Screw the hard stuff, let's dance!" And She can also speak Italian…who knew?!

"You've got that good stuff but that won't last.."
