Kele feat. Lucy Taylor - What Did I Do (UK)


I was super thrilled to see this because last year Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke did an acoustic performance with a mystery backing singer that just melted my heart. I am pleased to announce that the unknown woman in question is Lucy Taylor and she and Kele have collaborated on a single for his upcoming EP, The Hunter. His debut solo album was called The Boxer (I'm sensing a theme here). What Did I Do is really enjoyable slice of popstep.

The Wanted - Lightning (UK)


Lightning is the UK boyband's follow up to their smash summer #1 Glad You Came. A new album will be released in tandem with this latest single this autumn. In the video we see revelers in various stages of undress. That's one way to set yourselves apart from squeaky clean One Direction.

Waylayers - Hear No Lies (UK)


I really know very little about these fellows except that they are a trio from London and I had the good fortune of stumbling upon their music video for their single Hear No Lies. It's dreamy indie pop with a touch of electro. I'm definitely up for hearing more and getting some deets!

MNEK - If Truth Be Told (UK)


My pal MNEK, who is just coming off of seeing his co-writing efforts on The Saturdays' All Fired Up enter the UK charts at #3, is preparing his own official single release! Three years after catching the attention of music aficionados all over the web, the 16 year old will be coming out with a new edit of one of his previous works If Truth Be Told. Though he was born in the mid 90's, MNEK has a passion for 80's retro production that is really ace! If Truth be Told is out November 7th on Moshi Moshi Records.
