New Music Friday – 28/4

Katy Perry has released her second single Bon Appétit from her upcoming KP4. Bon Appétit is produced by Max Martin and features Migos. It’s probably the most urban track Katy has ever done but at the same time the production style is consistent with Chained To The Rhythm. It doesn’t sound like a Katy Perry song and doesn’t sound like a massive hit but it’s a good album track. Luckily a no-rap version is coming because the Migos feature is unnecessary.

Kygo has released First Time featuring Ellie Goulding. It’s a basic EDM track but so catchy you can’t help but like it. It’s no It Ain’t Me but could end up being a minor hit.

The Vamps have released the second single from their upcoming third album called Middle Of The Night. The Ed Drewett track is produced by Martin Jensen and continues on from the EDM/dubstep sound of their last single All Night. It seems The Vamps (or their label) are going the Maroon 5/OneRepublic route of releasing EDM tracks to score hits but forgetting that they’re supposed to be a band. As long as the music is as good as this though…

OneRepublic have released a new single called No Vacancy. Ryan Tedder explained the release on OneRepublic’s Facebook. The band plan to release new music at it’s made every few weeks instead of releasing music in the format of an album. No Vacancy is an EDM track originally intended for Selena Gomez but Ryan loved the track so much he kept it for OneRepublic. It’s produced by Stargate and it’s a lot better than most of Oh My My. It could potentially be huge.

Hailee Steinfeld has release Most Girls – another EDM Ryan Tedder track. Its lyrics let it down but it’s still a catchy song. It’s no Starving though.

Little Mix have released an acoustic version of No More Sad Songs – the third single to be taken from Glory Days. The girls sound incredible on it and Jesy’s middle 8 is back.

  18. Not Giving Up (JRMX WeLovePop Radio Edit)

30 Days made the album in the end. It’s a bit disappointing that we’ve heard over half the album since earlier this year. I was hoping for a 14 or 15 track album. The deluxe edition is almost all previously released material so it’s not the most exciting release. Tracks recorded with Ed Drewett and DJ Fresh also didn’t make the album so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a re-release/greatest hits album coming up soon.

Ed Drewett’s video for second single Undefeated from his upcoming debut album premiered today. The mix of the song in the video seems to be a little different to the version he posted on SoundCloud last week. This version has better production and the ending is slightly changed.

The video seems to be about Ed waking up after his spaceship crashed and so he tries to find his suit and his ship to get back to where he came from.

Check out the Undefeated video below:

Undefeated is out on July 14th.

Ed Drewett – “Undefeated” New Single

Ed Drewett has uploaded his new summer single Undefeated to SoundCloud. Previously, Ed uploaded an acoustic version of Undefeated as a teaser but as great as the acoustic version was, the studio version takes the song to a completely different level.

The acoustic version of Undefeated was more mellow whereas the studio version sounds anthemic and more feel-good. Undefeated sounds a lot more serious than the extremely catchy Drunk Dial, but it’s still full of hooks and has a bit more edge to it.

Hopefully Undefeated will become a hit and gives Ed the success he deserves as a solo artist.

Undefeated will be released to iTunes on July 14th.
