Worst
Worst
The man with the most annoying comeback in pop music teams up with the most annoying band in pop music to deliver this paint-by-numbers, trap infused, EDM, R&B clanger. This track is the perfect embodiment of how awful pop music is today and the reason why we're all going to hell.
How many artists does it take to create one of the worst songs of the year? The answer is five. Krippy Kush was, for some reason, originally a Spanish trap hit and now 21 Savage and Nicki Minaj have jumped on the westernised remix. The "krippy, krippy, krippy, krippy, krippy, kush, kush, kush, kush, kush" refrain is probably the most annoying thing to come out of Spain since Enrique Iglesias.
Steve Aoki has put his very terrible Dubstep/EDM spin on an already pretty terrible song. Now with added Desiigner, the track sounds like a mash-up of all our nightmares especially when that inevitable 'drop' come into play.
"Who's Matt Terry?" we hear you cry. Well, after a quick Google search, apparently this kid won the X-Factor in 2016, scoring a number 3 hit with 'When Christmas Comes Around'. He returns today with his debut album 'Trouble'. 'Got You' is a dull, 90s influenced pop track with the worst grammar we've seen in a chorus for a while. 'But it doesn't make sense if I don't got you.' - Seriously now, these songwriters are taking the piss.

Best
The Chief is back with his brand new album and this is best tune by far (if you don't count the bonus track). With all the talk of 'cosmic pop', Noel really delivers here. The heavy drums, layered vocals, and sweeping strings all gel together to form a sound big enough for those upcoming arena shows. It's good to have you back Noel.
UK singer Poppy Ajudha returns with her fourth single. Blending elements of jazz and soul, Ajudha has created a unique sound that's challenging as well as groovy. The 21 year old has a bright future and after 'Tepid Soul' we can't wait to hear what's next.
The mysterious Jadu Heart have teamed up with pop wonder kid Mura Masa to create a weird and wonderfully chilled out electronic piece. Released on Mura Masa's own Anchor Point Records, the heavily percussive track marries beautiful sound design and vocal harmonies to devise a track of pure pop brilliance.
We reviewed this earlier in the week and we're VERY happy to see it featuring on Spotify's 'New Music Friday UK' playlist. 'Stanton' is a punky, raw and witty tune from a very promising band based in London. Their live show is seriously something else too. Don't sleep on Sports Team!
