SHABOOZEY & MYLES SMITH - BLINK TWICE

 Apart from the fact that they both were 2024’s biggest breakout stars this pop country collab may affect both careers but "Blink Twice" sounds like a common new-country song that no one would ever notice if they weren't them.Five-time Grammy nominee Shaboozey and Brit Award-winning Myles Smith have joined forces for this  folk-inflected track built on  finger-picked guitars, pounding drums and raucous stomps and claps. "Blink Twice" marks Shaboozey’s first musical release after his blockbuster last year while Smith, who won the Brit Rising Star Award last month is still on his musical rise."Blink Twice" yes hear twice? Not so sure...

 The queen of sadness, the princess of modern blues returns.Lana Del Rey releases "Henry, Come On" ahead of new album "The Right Person Will Stay".Optimism is a charisma that keeps you from going insane but in most of the cases is a utopia.So if you gonna wait for "The Right Person Will Stay" then May 21 is the date to be optimist.Known for her cinematic soundscapes and nostalgic narratives, Lana Del Rey doesn't disappoints with "Henry Come On" and despite the fact that her singles are not among the hits her albums are always selling and places her among the most succesful each year. Lana Del Rey  delivers a smoky blend of Americana melancholy and aching romanticism with an emotional edge that feels more confrontational than wistful.

SUGABABES - WEEDS

 From the late 90s to 2025 is a long way to go and after their appearence at this year's Brits there is something going on with the Sugababes return.The trio starring Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy surprise-released the track "Weeds" which is actually above the average good.The song has an emotional depth, great instrumentation and production grounded in the signature vocal harmony that has always defined the trio.. It’s a song about the beauty that grows in unexpected places just as unexpected was the repeat mode that comes right after the first play.Great song that deserves the hit status.

SOMBR - UNDRESSED

 Make no mistake that Sombr will be big this year. The Timothee Chamalet look alike singer not only rides the charts with "Back To Friends" but his latest single "Undressed" is for me even better and catchier.With all the big hits remaining for weeks on the charts artists like Sombr and Alex Warren are the breathe of fresh air this year and will stay with us at least until the end of the summer.Yes the Tik Tok algorithm was kind to Sombr building him a growing fan base but you won't stay for long unless you prove your talent.I sense that Sombr has it and "Undressed" will be eventually big this year.

BIGXTHAPLUG & BAILEY ZIMMERMAN - ALL THE WAY

 Not the first time rap music meets country and the other way around.Tested before, it works especially in the States so this "pluggin" eventually will be a hit on Billboard and why not elsewhere."All The Way" combines Zimmerman’s country roots with BigXthaPlug’s Southern hip-hop prowess as the two artists channel their emotions in a song about a breakup.An acoustic guitar provides Zimmerman's  lyrical framework, as BigXthaPlug steps in letting his spoken words pack a punch providing his own flavour. BigXthaPlug has long been a fan of country music, and for a while now, he has been hinting at a full-length country-leaning project. "All The Way" sets that project in motion as the multi-platinum breakout star continues to explore his cross-genre creativity.

LEON THOMAS - MUTT

 Have a nice week soundfisters...

Thank god glimpses of soul and RnB are getting more and more attention lately and maybe a brighter future for this genre is upon us.After releasing his latest album "Mutt" on September 2024 nothing really happened until now.

SLEEP TOKEN - CARAMEL

 There are a dozen of metal bands right now that are making their way to the itunes the only problem is that there is not support from the radios and social platforms.Well Sleep Token are one of them with a monumental emergence, and an upcoming album "Even In Arcadia", due on May 9.Their first single "Emergence" has become the biggest rock streaming debut of the year and now they released the genre-bending "Caramel" that is actually a rather mainstream cut (well most of it).The masked band holds for a third day a high downloading profile which makes this single their potential biggest hit so far.Their album "Even In Arcadia" is expected to push the boundaries of sound and emotion even further, dissolving into something otherworldly. Widely considered one of the biggest rock bands in Britain, Sleep Token are expanding their fame across the sea over the Usa and around the world.Need a "Caramel"? Tell me how it tastes...

EVANESCENCE - AFTERLIFE

 It seems that music that can be heard in tv series or video games have replaced the songs from soundtracks in a big way.And since the Netflix series "Devil May Cry" not only has a soundtrack but also is very popular then it's only natural for Evanescence's "Afterlife" to be tranding these days.Amy Lee teased that Afterlife was "the first of many" new songs, and said that the band we are "working on a lot of songs right now for the new album".This is a typical Evanescence alternative metal jam that will please fans and many of the people out there that more and more as i said before are turning into rock-metal sound again.

MILEY CYRUS - END OF THE WORLD

 That's more like it and a proper single for Miley and the rest of the world.After the first bitter introduction to her new album with "Something Beautiful" here comes the sweetener "End Of The World" that somehow sounds like the next part or an answer to "Die With A Smile".This is Miley's pop side that we all love and adore that will serve so much better on the radio and on the charts."End Of The World" is a pop-rock song about partying during the apocalypse. Not as much impressed when i first heard "Flowers" but i guess it will eventually grow if the radio will embrace it with a power play.

ED SHEERAN - AZIZAM

 When it comes to the ginger boy thins are easy.Ed Sheeran has always been the master of creating a pop moment.His brand new single "Azizam" which in Persian means "my dear" is the lead single of Ed's forthcoming eighth studio album, an LP he's teased that will be much more pop-focused.The Persian influence of the track, is down to the track's producer, ILYA (Ilya Salmanzadeh) a mega-producer borned in Iran before moving to Sweden aged 11 and member of Max Martin's WolfCousins cohort who has worked closely with the likes of Ariana Grande (Into You, yes, and?), Ellie Goulding (Love Me Like You Do) and Sam Smith (Unholy) in the past.The song is not a masterpiece but it will swarm the radios all over the world and ride the charts over the next many weeks.

KESHA ft T-PAIN - YIPPEE-KI-YAY

 Of course she would try the country style with a pop flavour.Kesha meets T-Pain and they are taking us straight back to the 2010s, with this "Yippee-Ki-Yay" country twist.This is a playful, genre-blending anthem and the lead single from Kesha’s upcoming album after her experimentations in music without success.This cheesy piece of party-up pop-country have more chances to make it in the States where country music dominates airwaves, charts and streaming rather than Europe but you never know.Not really crazy about it but in time you might even like it.
