HOT POP

Shuttsie’s Hot Pop Slot with The Wyre’s Paul Shuttleworth

This week we have new music from The Levelers the next single out in for week’s time its called Before The End it remains true to their traditional style with a up tempo pace. Naturally 7 In the Air Tonight is a single from a seven piece group from New York although two members were born in Manchester they are currently on tour Michael Buble. The guy’s have touch of the Boy II Men sound and they have covered the classic Phil Collins track this version is amazing and has a great track that complements the vocal harmony’s it will available to buy on 21st July.

Das Pop Underground is a debut single from a band that has a similar edge to The Strokes. They are three part Belgian and one part Kiwi there track is commercial Indi pop track that is commercially friendly and out on 28th July. The week after Tom Fuller Band have a new track called Only In America quite a political track about the State of the States not great.

Parlotones Here Comes The Rain Man starts well with a very catchy introduction the foursome from Johannesburg that have already made it onto MTV playlist are set for big things around the world if you get chance have a listen. New York City songstress Rachael Sage’s releases her new frenetic single Vertigo on Monday 28th July. The dancer turned songwriter is adept at illuminating dark subject matter, including codependency, depression and Adultery. So quite a deep subject matter for a chart single.

A bit of wait for the new Beth Rowley single Sweet Hours from the Blues icon from Bristol as it won’t be out till 11th August. It’s a vintage , smoky blues laid back number that brings Beth’s superb vocals to the fore. With it’s delicate piano and downbeat guitar, this track provides the perfect accompaniment to a chilled summers evening.

In the Clubs take an Eurthmics rift and add a couple of extra beats and some vocals from The Saturday’s a group out to prove you don’t have to be a teenager to enjoy a pop song If This Is Love is very commercial it has a great rhythm and set for big things when its released at the end of July.

They are getting loads of media attention since supporting Girls Aloud they have recently been on T4, The Box, The Hits, Smash Hits and it’s an online exclusive for MSN’s homepage. BWO Lay Your Love On Me is quit a camp disco track that has already top the charts in Sweden and given that Scandinavian pop acts likes Alphabeat, Robyn and September are going down a storm it seams the perfect time for them to bring their new single to the UK and it will hit the chart at the end of July.
