Written for the recent remake of ‘90s pre-teen bible The Babysitters Club, ‘Imperfect’ paints its youth-empowering message in broad strokes and - in the context of the brief - hits a home run. Where previous single ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ was a glorious slice of power-pop, ‘Who Put You Up To This?’ is a smooth, slinky take on ’70s sepia-hued sun-kissed melodies. And ‘Who Put You Up To This?’, the second track to be shared from the group’s third album - May’s ‘Headful of Sugar’ - continues this beautifully unpredictable trajectory. In the latest issue of DIY, Sunflower Bean guitarist Nick Kivlen noted how even the group’s closest friends have no idea what their next song will sound like. Try to not have its infectiously catchy NSFW chorus “Treat me like a slut, little dirty bitch, I love to fuck” playing in your mind throughout the weekend. Full of sex-positive anthems, standout ‘Treat Me Like A Slut’ is a dance floor-ready club number, all about letting your inner-slut flag fly. But if you thought boob-loving bop ‘Coconuts’ was what she meant, new seven-track EP ‘Slut Pop’ has arrived to prove you seriously wrong. When we spoke to Kim last year for our DIY In Deep digital cover, she told us, “I love writing fucked up, dirty stuff”. A pulsating, scratchy number that barely hits the two-minute mark, it features Jack White in full electric flow throughout, both when near-spitting his vocals and etching out a signature guitar solo. For while “When the moon is above you / Does it tell you ‘I love you’ by screaming?” is both a great line - and question it’s possible to spend an inordinate number of minutes pondering - the April record’s title track isn’t about the lyrics. (Louisa Dixon)Ĭontinuing his pattern of sharing a track from each of this year’s two full-length releases in turn, ‘Fear of the Dawn’ continues where ‘Taking Me Back’ left off - and turns it up a few notches. As smooth and bittersweet as you’d expect, get those Stetsons ready. Part of the first ‘chapter’ of Orville’s second album, ‘Bronco’, set for release in April, ‘C’Mon Baby Cry’ takes cues from both the masked musician’s love of country, and plain ol’ crooning: if there’s not space for a Vegas residency for his dulcet tones (which, after the flouro lights of the accompanying video, feels like an inevitability) then there’s surely a ’50s musical. If the opening gambit of “Shine like VV / bad like RiRi” doesn’t give away the infectious confidence that runs through Bree Runway’s latest, then the iconic, Y2K-inspired video definitely will. It might still be dark, damp and shiveringly cold outside, but ‘Pressure’ has all the hallmarks of a summer party anthem. It sucks I feel like other more mainstream artists on bigger labels are stuck on the same place, like Normani and Chlöe.You might think, dear reader, that the week’s new music would be overshadowed by such BRITS goings on as Wolf Alice bagging a gong, Ed Sheeran embracing the dark side and Anne-Marie’s ankle making a star turn, but no! It’s been a bumper 7 days for three-minute wonders, and here’s our pick of the bunch. I know! Plus Idk but I feel like she's stucked making "gay fancam bops" music for the longest, I mean I bop to them sure, but I already feel like I need something "more", but I understand she won't be able to do that until she gets a hit. Hope she gets out of there like Raye and tinashe I would not be surprised if she's resenting her label for tossing her career just like that rn. Now we are close to 2023 and she's stuck releasing EPs every few years when all her hype has dwindled thanks to the constant hiatuses etc. Right! I don't understand why they would drop the ball and stop pushing her when the next single could've been the one to pop off! If you (the label) were the ones who failed to clear the sample and as a result tank the single, why don't you just invest into the next one and keep the campaign rolling? She had a nomination for the BRITS rising star award and failed to capitalize on the hype simply because she wasn't allowed to put out more music. I hope she gets dropped tbh might be the best for her, she's made for bigger things and her current label can't give her that. I find it funny if that's the case because Hot Hot is like her most successful single since ever? Lol what were they expecting? It's not like they're even promoting her properly. Booty leaked today and was supposed to be part of the scrapped Trilogy EP along with Pressure and SLY
