Photo Credit: Jon Baker If you've been anywhere near a television over the past couple of months, you've probably already heard the music of British singer/songwriter Alex Clare . While Clare's song " Too Close " was originally released a year ago as a single, a recent ad for Microsoft 's Internet Explorer 9 helped push the song to new heights and international success. Since the [...]
Clare Maguire has been collaborating with many writers and co-producers for the sophomore record. During her headlining tour, she performed a new song tentatively titled "Mess You Around." Also, she premiered other songs during festival runs over the year of 2011, two named "A Change In Me" and "Lights Out." Maguire has described the second album as more of a "bluesy/soul record."

After collaborating with The Streets and Chase & Status, it's time for 24-year-old Birmingham chanteuse Clare Maguire to team up with Loadstar who add some liquid funk magic to the emotionally charged The Shield And The Sword . Tantrum Desire 's take on ShockOne proves that when it comes to dance floor devastation, the London crew are a serious force to be reckoned with, while Arnaud Rebotini , aka the man behind Black Strobe, returns to action with some acid-influenced electro. As for the last track of the day, the name Robert Smith [...]
With a creaky yet tranquil voice that sounds like it should belong to a 43-year-old, British music moguls are expecting big things from 23-year-old Al Spx. Hailing from Canada, the home of many other strong acoustic talents, Spx describes her sound as "doom soul". She currently resides in London and calls her project Cold Specks,
10. The Sounds - Something To Die For After a disappointing detour from their synth-punk roots, the band came roaring back with their fourth album. It does what the band does best, offering up aggressive, dance-fueled rock with the glossy sheen of radio pop music. It nearly reaches the perfection of their first two releases. 9. Clare Maguire - Light After Dark [...]
There's no way around it: 2011 was an astoundingly good year in pop music. Not since the 2007 reign of Kylie 's X , Britney 's Blackout , Rihanna 's Good Girl Gone Bad and Girl's Aloud 's Tangled Up has there been such a strong showing in pop: We found love in the most hopeless of places, hung onto a moment and danced to the beat of our drums 'til the world ended (well, until next year anyway.) As per usual, I've hemmed and [...]

Breaking More Waves is no different and this year we will be expanding our now traditional Ones to Watch feature to 15 artists rather than the smaller 10 we've published in previous years. Our Ones to Watch list is not a tips for commercial success list. If it was we'd feature the likes of Azelia Banks , Frank Ocean and Skrillex [...]

Memory Tapes (AKA Dayve Hawk) has been growing quickly on us since we featured " Wait In The Dark " in our Weekend Burn about a month ago (see our Weekend Burn archive here ). Since this time, we've realized how remixable Hawk's music was and to no surprise, did we find not only Memory Tapes remixed by multiple well-known DJs, but that our boy Dayve did quite a few himself. In the list below, you'll notice yet another Phoenix remix. If you're interested in more of these, we just put our [...]

Girls Aloud member Nicola Roberts -or, as PopJustice rightfully suggests we call her, NICOLA FUCKING ROBERTS, has released one of the best singles of the year, "Beat Of My Drum." For those who pre-ordered the single on iTunes UK (which just went on sale at midnight tonight in the UK), the song came bundled with a brand new B-side: "Porcelain Heart." In short, it is a perfect song. Literally: It's a perfect pop song. Like a Girls Aloud or Sophie Ellis-Bextor track, "Porcelain [...]
CockNBullKid (AKA Anita Blay ) is an artist I briefly mentioned in my massive music video round up when I got back from Mexico. Since then, I've been listening to her song " Asthma Attack " on repeat and thought that my love for this song warranted doing a proper post. While I still have trouble saying the name CockNBullKid out loud, I have no problem whatsoever telling people that they need to listen to her music. I just do it [...]

This week sees new releases from Clare Maguire, Hanson, Inna, Sara Bareilles, Wideboys and Yasmin. But which tracks are worth 4 minutes of your time and 99p of your money? At the top of the list is 'The Shield & The Sword' which is the best track on Clare Maguire's Light After Dark album, and fully deserving of its own moment in the spotlight. It's a belter - Clare has a wonderful Annie Lennox quality to her voice - with a cool house piano riff and theatrical strings which add [...]
