Willy Moon - Get Up (What You Need)

Video released July 31st 2013


New Zealand born alternative indie singer and producer Willy Moon, real name William George Sinclair releases the video to Get Up (What You Need) and for an artist I have very little knowledge of I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this track. Moon's career took off somewhat with his track 'Yeah Yeah' when it featured on Apples 2012 advertising campaign for it's newest incarnation of their iPod, and it's no surprise, Moon's sound is very radio and TV friendly which will be of huge benefit when gaining new fans. The song, Get Up (What You Need) is the next single to be taken from Moon's debut album 'Here's Willy Moon' and it's very catchy, the hook "you got to get up on your feet to get what you need" show's what the song is all about, it's about life, it's about doing everything you can to get what you want and to where you want to be, the beat and music work in perfect harmony with the gravelly vocals. Overall this is just the next step on the road to great success for Moon, it show's he's got great music writing abilities as well as the charm to gain a big following.

Tinie Tempah featuring 2 Chainz - Trampoline

Video released July 2nd 2013


Oh Tinie, if only you'd stopped after Earthquake, if only you'd had a better back story, if only you didn't go for mass appeal but went for musical integrity instead, unfortunately Tinie did none of these things, he instead released this track. With repetitive words such as 'jump, jump, jump trampoline' and naming random capital cities, he has no innovation, he has not vision all he seems to do is bend over and wait for Radio One to fuck him, it's a shame because there's been flashes of brilliance in previous songs. 2 Chainz also features on this little ditty, I have no idea who he is, he has a way better flow than ol' Tinie but it doesn't save a very weak track and a particular low point in a persons career.

Jake Bugg - Broken

Video released June 20th 2013


I've never listened to Jake Bugg, unfortunately after hearing this track that’s not about to change. The video to Broken begins with Jake wandering out to a stage in a bar somewhere with a guitar in his hand and an extremely gormless look on his face, then comes the twanging. We get some lyrics about the end of a relationship and how he’s sad, all in a voice that sounds like he’s singing into a fan. A comparison which I find to be fairly accurate of this young man is if you have Liam Gallagher singing about how he’s currently feeling following the love child fiasco. The song drones along to a disappointing climax, throughout we have false hope that something might happen, we’re left unfulfilled and feeling like the last 5 minutes and 13 seconds have been stolen from our lives. In defence of this song I will say that it is well produced and the instrumentals are appealing, however it will never be my cup of tea.
