Are You Ready for Kate Miller-Heidke?

I clearly wasn't as despite being a fan of Kate I only recently came around to hear this instantly catchy pop offering from her side project, 'Fatty Gets a Stylist'.

The song which is a clear departure from her solo sound is much more electronic and 80's sounding and uses a different vocal range, which she apparently found whilst in the shower and has since transformed into the personality of an individual called Fatima (hence the wonderfully bizarre band name if you were by chance wondering).

The song has not only been making the sound waves down under in Oz but also in the US and has been used in the New York Lottery advertisement.

So guys and gals get ready. 

Marina and the Diamonds - Radioactive

So summer is starting to roll to an end (where the hell the sun was I don't know) but there's still time for Marina and the Diamonds to give us a good old party pumping, dance floor filling hit to give the summer a good send out.

Marina's latest offerings prior to a 2nd album release is 'Radioactive', upon first listen I was hooked. The lyrics are clearly Marina's own and stick to the formula used on her début album 'The Family Jewels', the sound however is a transformation from her previous releases and I can hopefully predict that her second album won't fall into the sophomore album trap.

Here's a snippet of what Marina herself had to say of the track, “I wrote “Radioactive” in New York in the middle of a heat wave. Introduced to a glittering new nightlife, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other city in the world has. I felt happy and was inspired to write a song that felt light and euphoric, a more streamlined, minimalistic style of songwriting. I have changed my approach to songwriting completely, and as a result, written songs I would never have written on my own (i.e on my shit Argos keyboard alone in my bedroom in London).

Enjoy below pop peeps!
