Songs of the week

Coming Apart Again — Dear Prudence 



Inspired by The Cure, Siouxsie Sioux, and Depeche Mode, Brighton five-piece Dear Prudence have a powerful noir-pop sound fused with a dark and moodish stage presence, reminiscent of the 80's with their own fresh modern day twist. Singer songwriter Madi Poncia's smoky, haunting vocals are stunning and sure to leave you hitting repeat all day. Do yourself a huge favour, and check out their YouTube channel for more. 


Black Chandelier — Biffy Clyro



You know what I most love about Biffy? No, it's not Simon Neil's exquisite beard of Zeus. It's that after listening to one or two seconds of their music you KNOW it's them — but the magic lies in that they aren't samey. So many incredible bands create a beautiful, distinctive sound and stick with it — forever. And, yeah sure I can get behind that, if it ain't broke don't fix it right? Well, Biffy mix it up, they take risks, and they're creative. But most importantly they're always damn good. This is no exception. 


My Life — 50 Cent ft. Adam Levine and Eminem 



It's nothing new to hear Mr. Cent collaborate with Mr. Shady — but it is a risk. It's dangerous to have Eminem feature on your track because, inevitably, it becomes his track. But the two have worked together a million times, and it's never been anything short of fan-fucking-tastic.  Having said that, it was a genius move to bring the Maroon 5 frontman in  — his distinctive voice juxtaposes brilliantly with the rap verses.
