Mabel Know Me Better
Sometimes I listen to Huw Stephens on BBC Radio One, partly because I like his accent, partly because I'm weirdly attracted to it, and mostly because I really, really like his taste in music. I absolutely have no idea where he found this track, but since last week, I must have easily boosted its overall internet plays by a good 10% on my own.
It's got those echoey piano chords that ripple through my soul. And the lyrics are beautiful, hopeful and fearlessly vulnerable. When she sings that "there is so much more to love" I desperately hope she's referring to her yet-to-be-released music.
Currently, she only has 36 more followers than me on Twitter, but 1,051 more on SoundCloud – which I will dutifully rinse when the time comes.
Diplo & Sleepy Tom Be Right There
By now you must recognise my affinity for female vocals, feel-good lyrics, and a decent clap. Priscilla Renea's vocals have an early naughties feel about them which might make you wish you were old enough to club when the likes of BootyLuv were about.
Ultimately, I love how flexible this song is, and it's not too hardcore for first thing on a Monday morning – unlike his other recent release which is far better suited to Friday night. Set Me Free was released at the same time as Be Right There, was given a far bigger video budget* and features Liz. Who I seriously hope isn't Her Majesty HRH.
*It was sponsored by Bud Light. No I am not kidding.
