Oh go on then...

Bit of of banger from Kungs:



The album from half of Let's Eat Grandma is out this week. This one has something of Cyndi/Jane Wiedlin about it:



Chase me! This is rather good:



Lush building synths and another beautiful vocal from Sarah Kinsley:



August Ponthier offering a lovely bit of heartbreak pop with a light country tinge:

 
Skimming over NMF I stumbled upon this. Folk usually takes a while to bed in with me but this JUMPED out. Stunning guitar and vocal



Sault did another surprise drop of an album last week - this one does sound more accessible than the last one, Cleo Sol again providing the immaculate vocals



This is quite poppy for Satin Jackets, very 70s, but I like it



This is OK, bit EDM-leaning for me, but might have a home on moopy



Le Flex still channeling George Michael, nice to have some new music from him as his last few releases have been covers

 
haven't listened to anything new by Le Youth in years but blinded is nice. I thought it was building up to something a bit more lush but the chorus/drop is a bit damp. maybe the other singles are worth a try
 
New one from Arlo Parks goes (gently) boppy:



Album Ambiguous Desire apparently partly inspired by Paradise Garage.
 
Katy B pops up once a year to embarrass the other girls. this is hot



sensual, sexy, sultry from Charlotte Day Wilson. immediately great

 
That Katy B track got immediately playlisted.

It's a great week this week - will post some stuff later.
 
Tove S is back. She's an unwieldy banger but the edit doesn't hit quite the same:



I swear a Sharon Van Etten collaboration or cover version turns up on my RR every other week. Always good to hear her though and I really like this one:



A bit of a mood:



This from Sarah Nimmo gives me fairground banger vibes:



A fun bop from Cherry Bomb, formerly of MisterWives:



Dicks! Dicks! Everywhere! Imbruglia I'm on the floor:

 
Kylie Auldist is back with more of the same, although I'm not sure I'm loving this one as much I'd like



Titiyo sighting! I'm sure this is an old song of hers though, reversioned... @VoR amiright?



Chromeo coded, and it's great



Daughter are back! And the results are good

 
This autoplayed after Jessie Ware and it bops:



A quick sample of her other material is less promising but I'll take this one.
 
New Naomi Scott. I always like how, even though her music is quite eclectic, she always chooses some type of retro production.

 
Her last couple of singles are really good too. I haven't got round to listening to her album from last year yet though.
 
A few Friday's ago now (16 Jan to be precise), but this was sounding amazing at the gym doing legs earlier this morning. Marina & the Diamonds "coded" as they say. Hope it "gets its flowers" (god I hate that term too). Oh, the song:

 
More of the same from Thundercat, and the same is good



This is cute from Nina Nesbitt. Hope an album is coming



JAB is a vocalist for lots of other bands including Groove Armada, and Faye Meana has been releasing some great moody pop



Charlotte Plank is like a cross between Holly Humberstone and Katy B. This is nice

 
why do all these British pop girls have the worst, most Home Counties sounding names ever

Charlotte Plank, Holly Humberstone, Ella Henderson, Anne-Marie... are they being produced in a factory in Guildford?
 
HolyBrune with more loungey R&B



Only discovered ELIZA this year, I'm quite liking what I hear so far



New MUNA is catchy



Quite like this sparse, minimal take on retro pop

 
I see HolyBrune has an album coming next week.

A very worthy revisit from Tei Shi:



Lykke Li feeling quite familiar but a big improvement over her sleepy last outing:



From the new Sarah Kinsley EP (Paris Paloma duet also very good):



I wanted a little more from the August Ponthier album but the title track is lovely:



This mangetout mix bops:



One of those weeks old album track recommendations on the release radar from Joseph:

 
Chvrches are getting the soundtrack $, but at least this is a good one, unlike the Robert Palmer:



I do love a juddering synth:



How close can we get to Nothing Can Stop Us by the Et without the actual Dusty sample?



This is an Ariel Rechtshaid co-write/production and it does sound Sky Ferreira adjacent. That noisy chorus :disco:

 
What a delightful selection of songs!

What’s that Dandelion track @FetchFugly ? Any more info on them? Synth pop is ten a penny these days but this has a glittering vocal as well, I really like the sound of it
 
I wasn't aware of them previously, I went back and saved some of their recent tracks. They have an album coming in May.

This seems to be by far their biggest song:

 
Pure synthpop from Satin Jackets and it's one of their best in a long time. Panama's voice never disappoints.



Love pretty much everything Jordan Rakei does, and this is with an apprioriately chosen collaboration with Jungle's Tom McFarland



Florence-sounding Freya Ridings sounding even more like Florence than ever before. Not her best, but it's not bad, maybe a grower



Fiorious proving quite busy at the moment, releasing tracks not long after his fabulous album last year. Not complaining



Can't remember whether I was recommended Pink Lemon by moopy or by Spotify but here they are (again) anyway

 
Enjoying this new artist (or new to me anyway) - it's an interesting hybrid of jazz and alt-folk, like a cross between Norah Jones and Laura Marling. New album just came out.



New Say She She feature that sounds very much like a Say She She song and for that it's very good



Never had any interest in anything Willow has done, but Thundercat has dragged something special out of her here



Lovely bit of new wave from Future Utopia



I wasn't sure about Rhye's return song from a few weeks ago, but this new one is an instant bop.

 
Loving the new Say She She... with a disco legend too!

The Thundercat and Future Utopia ones are great too.
