Song of the Day: The Saturdays - 30 Days
Click here to listen
This song has many flaws, particularly the fact that it suggests they’re sticking to the generidance that has already put their future in question, and that the song inexplicably opens with vocals from Mollie and Frankie, but it does have a good chorus. I don’t think it will go down as a Sats classic and it’s not enough to stop Little Mix stealing all...

Song of the Day: Jessica Jean - Black Box
Click here to listen
I randomly saw this on a songwriter’s Tumblr today and only clicked on it cos I thought it was a cover of this. Instead it’s actually a brand new ace pop song called Black Box! Jessica is a 20-year-old singer from Germany whose biggest success so far seems to be featuring on a track by the rapper DMX, but I think this could be the beginning of an exciting pop...

Song of the Day: Kerli - Zero Gravity
Click here to watch
Estonian singer Kerli makes quite good music, but when it’s combined with her brilliant music videos it becomes much more exciting. She’s a great pop star who just needs that 10/10 song instead of endless 7s. She could be the more pop version of Bjork or the European Lady Gaga.

Song of the Day: Neon Hitch - F U Betta
Click here to watch
I feel like ever since Neon Hitch got her major label deal I’ve been waiting for her to release something as good as the songs (such as Black and Blue and Rain On Me) she posted online before she was signed. She’s finally getting there with this one, which is currently Billboard Dance Chart no.1, although it’s more Natalia Kills than the dark version of...

Song of the Day: Austin Brown - Menage a Trois
Click here to watch
I randomly discovered this song yesterday, having never heard of Austin before, and I was very impressed. The song isn’t an instant classic but it’s very enjoyable, and I love Austin’s energetic, charismatic performance. I think he could be a great pop star in the making. After doing some research I’ve discovered that Austin is Michael Jackson’s...
