JLS feat. Dev - She Makes Me Wanna (UK)

It seems like only yesterday that the world was pumping its collective heart to Beat Again, but two years later and we have a new summer single from the boys of JLS. Produced by superstar producer RedOne and featuring Dev of Like A G6 and Bass Down Low fame, She Makes Me Wanna has quickly become an infectious track and you might catch yourself mumbling "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!". The single is out on July 24th with the third album to follow in autumn.

Dev - In The Dark

With Bass Down Low maintaining its chart presence in the UK and her latest feature with boyband JLS an almost certain number one, 2011 is shaping up nicely for American singer Dev. In The Dark has an almost Meditarranean holiday style groove but the video is all about the dark and sexy.

Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (AUS)

Can't get over how this track and video are both utterly amazing! Aussie singer-songwriter Gotye (stage name of Walter De Backer) is partnered with Kiwi singer Kimbra and the two forge gut wrenching harmonies as we are witness to a relationship falling apart. I could only imagine the hours it took to get all painted up and with such excruciating attention being paid to detail. Gotye's new album Making Mirrors is out in August.

Starboy Nathan feat. Wretch 32 - Hangover (UK)

This one here's got the potential to be one of the big party jams of summer 2011 over in Great Britain. Following up from his top 40 entry with Diamonds, singer Starboy Nathan returns with Hangover which has some decidedly American influences upon first listen. He's collaborating with Wretch 32, who after scoring a big hit this year with Unorthodox, appears to be shooting up the ladder of musical success.

Melissa Nkonda feat. VV Brown - J'ai fait tout ça pour vous (FRA)

20-year-old Melissa Nkonda may not have won Nouvelle Star, one of the biggest talent competition shows in her native France, but that didn't stop her from pursuing a music career and eventually earning a contract with record label AZ. Her lovely debut single Nouveaux Horizons went top 40 in France and Belgium this spring and for her follow up she's teamed up with one of the UK's finest, VV Brown. J'ai fait tout ça pour vous (I did all this for you) is sure to put a smile on your face.

My Tiger My Timing - Endless Summer (UK)

Coming to us after making their first of what I hope will be many appearances at the Glastonbury Festival is London based quintet My Tiger My Timing. I've been a fan of theirs since 2009 when I stumbled across their music video for the track This Is Not The Fire and was instantly hooked. MTMT have concocted a musical recipe that includes a dash of indie and alternative with a huge dollop of catchy pop that has on more than one occasion propelled to get up and dive right into the the groove. Endless Summer is their latest single which sees release on August 1st and was on my video playlist this weekend as I found myself strolling along  the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal. It was the perfect background noise as I stood amongst the many frolicking tourists.
