It's New Music Friday and we're here to guide you through the worst and best tunes released today.
Worst
ZAYN - Let Me
Bradford's worst export and the epitome of a wet lettuce has returned with another bland and excruciatingly drab tune. His voice is so one dimensional it's insane. The production is equally as boring as the performance. We've had more enjoyable experiences watching paint dry than listening to this rubbish.
Tyreeeezy - Oh Nah
This dancehall beat with some mumbling autotuned fool 'singing' over the top trend has to stop. There's only so many variations of this type of tune we can handle. The track is called 'Oh Nah' so imagine for yourself what the lyrics are like. Poetry at it's finest.
September (Spotify Singles) - Taylor Swift
The Spotify singles series has actually resulted in some great covers by some great artists but this is one step too far. Taylor Swift has actually murdered one of the greatest disco tunes of all time. Her twee banjo and soft, folk take on the 70s classic is so cringe it hurts. Stay away.
Gavin James - Always
This is just music for your Nan who bought Gavin James' CD as a little treat after getting lost in ASDA and finding herself stuck on the music and video isle. She says, 'It's like Ed Sheeran, I like him, Ed, he's such a nice boy'. Leave it with your Nan, it's really bad.
Honourable Mentions
Bebe Rexha - Ferrari
Gavin James - Always
King Princess - Talia
Bazzi - Myself
6ix9ine - GOTTI
Best
Janelle Monáe - Pynk (Feat. Grimes)
Now, THIS is how you write a pop song. Janelle Monáe has collaborated with Canadian songwriter-producer Grimes to create a brilliantly well structured and interesting tune that celebrates creation, self-love and sexuality. The music video directed by Emme Westenberg is amazing too. Watch that here.
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Talking Straight
Australian-based Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have returned with a new rip-roaring track titled 'Talking Straight'. It's a fast-paced indie banger with a guitar solo that shreds through the upbeat drums and simple vocals melodies. With a new album coming in June, it's time to get familiar with this Aussie five-piece.
Fists of Fury - Kamasi Washington
Jazz maestro and all-around legend Kamasi Washington released two new tracks towards the beginning of this week. 'Fists of Fury' is the highlight, with Washington's signature choir and experimental jazz motifs taking centre stage. Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, it's a slog but a bloody rewarding one.
Alyss - 5D
'5D' is the new track from London singer-songwriter Alyss. Released through East London's Tropopause Records, the classically trained singer has created a distinct sound for herself. Her powerful vocals are backed by wonderfully experimental electronic instrumentals that bang hard. Go see her EP launch at the Pickle Factory on the 24th of April. It'll be massive.
Honourable Mentions
LUMP - Curse of the Contemporary
Florence + The Machine - Sky Full Of Song
2000 Angels - Ben Khan
Easy Life - Ice Cream
