Kiesza is a 25 year old singer/songwriter from Canada, and has recently launched debut single Hideaway, which looks set to score her a first #1 single in the U.K. as it had sold 80,000+ copies at the midweek point.
Hideaway was a little bit of a grower for me, as during the first few listens I failed to truly recognise how fantastic the entire effort is, but it soon clicked upon a certain listen. As soon as the track starts, it's already so intense with the thick bassline and lyrics that are being poured out. The outstanding production and emotional vocals work so well together and the track is packed with hooks. The only thing that puts me off a little is when the vocals verge on screeching at certain points, but on the whole it does make an impact on the emotion as it almost sounds like a cry for help. A great debut.
4/5
Shift K3y - Touch
20 year old Shift K3y looks set to set the charts alight with top forty debut Touch - as it was already #3 at the midweek stage. Shift K3y dropped his first EP back in 2011.
I am absolutely loving this. A bit of garage in the chart never goes amiss for me, most recently all about she took their track Higher (Free) to the top 20 officially, and now the garage-influenced track Touch is set for commercial success. The track is so high energy with the sped up bassline and rhythm, that intertwines with impressive falsetto vocals extremely well. Ultimately, it's the complete feel-good package.
4.5/5
Meridian Dan ft. Big H & JME - German Whip
Grime MC Meridian Dan from Tottenham, London looks set to have a huge hit on his hands with German Whip, as it is already #6 in the midweek stage.
I'm not really used to seeing a grime track so high in the chart, and to be honest the genre on the whole isn't really my thing. I give the track props for being so unlike anything out there in the chart right now, and it is certainly catchy. The lyrics for me are so bad that they verge on comedic, so I tend to view the track from a comedic perspective. I just cannot take it seriously. So on the whole; a fun, catchy and pretty unique track commercially, but not something I'd rush back in a hurry to listen to.
2/5
Elyar Fox - Billion Girls
18 year old Elyar Fox is almost certain to score his second top 10 this week with Billion Girls, after debut Do It All Over Again went to #5 earlier on in the year.
As generic-sounding as his debut was, I did quite enjoy Do It All Over Again in a guilty pleasure kind of way. However, I cannot say the same for this follow up. The subject matter is extremely recycled and the lyrics are rather cringeworthy - whether that is name-dropping Rihanna or countries. On the whole I think it's a pretty lazy effort, but that his fans will eagerly purchase it.
1/5
Showtek ft. Justin Prime & Matthew Koma - Cannonball
Electronic dance duo Showtek are back with what looks to be their third top 40 entry (After #5 hit Booyah and more recently, Bad with David Guetta & Vassy) and have teamed up with Justin Prime and Matthew Koma (Who featured on Hardwell's #18 hit Dare You).
I was quite apprehensive to hear this track, as I absolutely love Booyah! by the duo but detest Bad. Thankfully, this turned out to be a bit of a gem for me. It boasts an extremely euphoric build up featuring a pounding bassline and great synths. The extremely energetic production (that actually dates back to 2012) works well with Matthew Koma's vocals. A fantastic effort overall.
Sigma are a drum and bass duo, and are on course for their first U.K. number one this week with Nobody to Love, which is a re-working of Kanye West's Bound 2.
I am a huge fan of Bound 2, so my initial thoughts when hearing this version is that it wouldn't quite live up to it. It is a really interesting re-working of the song, as I'd never picture it as a dance track. However, for me the original is that little bit superior, and the Charlie Wilson vocals on it also I find are stronger. It still works though, and will sound fantastic in the summer.
3.5/5
The Vamps - Last Night
The Vamps are back with brand new single Last Night, which is set to be their third consecutive top 3 single after debut Can We Dance went to #2 and follow up Wild Heart claimed the #3 spot.
The Vamps have already found their sound - guitar driven songs with incredibly catchy choruses, and it seems to be a winning formula for them so far. The vocals are also very strong courtesy of lead singer Brad Simpson.With it's very youthful lyrics, Last Night very much caters for it's target audience.
3/5
Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX - Fancy
Australian Iggy Azalea looks set to achieve her very first top 5 single, after her previous effort Change Your Life went to #10. It also features vocals from Charli XCX who found success on Icona Pop's U.K. #1 single I Love It.
For me, Fancy is definitely Azalea's best by far. The entire track is making a bold statement - from the infectious production to the attitude-ridden lyrics. The chorus is extremely memorable and the video is excellent to match. Confident Azalea is on to a winner.
4.5/5
The Saturdays - Not Giving Up
The Saturdays are back with the fourth single from their latest album Living for the Weekend. The girl-group achieved their first U.K. #1 single last year with What About Us.
The girls are back with a bang as this new single from them boasts a strong dance-pop production with quickfire lyrics that work well. The track builds up well to the euphoric explosion that is the chorus. The one thing I do notice though is that it is not all that dissimilar to one of their previous hits All Fired Up.
3.5/5
David Guetta ft. Showtek & Vassy - Bad
David Guetta follows up #4 single Shot Me Down with new track Bad, and this time he has collaborated with Dutch production duo Showtek (who found success with #5 single Booyah!) and Australian Vassy.
This track unfortunately pretty much lives up to it's title. The song opens with a very grating start, as what is a pretty catchy hook is destroyed with high-pitched autotuned vocals, and all attention for me focuses on how annoying they were. The only ounce of a saving grace is the Showtek production, but even that gets a little tedious by the third time it comes around in the song. Overall, I'm disappointed at a pretty lazy effort - ditch the autotune next time also!
1.5/5
The Kaiser Chiefs - Coming Home
The Kaiser Chiefs are having a very great time right now, after lead singer Ricky Wilson first appeared on The Voice UK as a guest judge, and then their latest album Education, Education, Education & War went straight to #1 on Sunday, knocking off X Factor 2013 winner Sam Bailey.
Coming Home is a fantastic return to form for the group. Not only are Ricky's vocals sounding great, but the track itself is very mellow and beautiful, especially with the guitar driven understated production. The chorus is very memorable indeed.
