Adam Lambert – Rainy Dream
It’s been a few years since an Adam Lambert music has stuck my consideration, however this brings him again to the golf equipment. The beat, the construct and the hooks are all relentless.
Ariana Grande – We Can’t Be Pals
Ariana’s new album isn’t what I anticipated. The lead unmarried is the one actual dance observe, whilst the remainder of the songs name again to mid-tempo, overdue 90’s pop/r&b. 2d unmarried We Can’t Be Pals is forged, however I desire the wealthy melodies of Don’t Wanna Destroy Up Once more.
Charli XCX – Von Dutch
It’s very a lot what you’d be expecting from Charli XCX, for higher or worse!
Chinchilla – MF Diamond
I don’t know a lot about this artist and I will’t say I like her different singles, however the beat on that is very addictive.
Danny Saucedo – Satisfied That You Discovered Me
The primary Melodifestivalen observe on this round-up. It’s generic pop-EDM, however anchored by means of sturdy melodies and bombastic payoff.
Electrical Fields – One Milkali (One Blood)
I believe that is my favourite Eurovision observe of the 12 months. It’s such an uplifting, anthemic sound and I like the indigenous Australian touches. Plus, they name-check my all-time fave Janet Jackson!
Women Aloud – Disco Bunny
Did you all know we won a brand new Women Aloud x Xenomania music remaining week? Certain, it’s an unearthed b-side from the early 2000’s, however I’ll take it!

I used to be an early Isac Elliot fan long ago in 2013 and it’s cool to look how a lot he and his tune has grown.
Jacqline – Easy
Any other Melodifestivalen observe, and a glistening pop bauble with a megawatt refrain and improbable bass riff.
Kaleen – We Will Rave
There’s a ton of Eurovision illustration this month. Kaleen is headed to the display for Austria with this vigorous dance banger.
Kiesza – Dancing And Crying
Talking of dance bangers, this was once one the most important surprises of the month. It has an enormous, theatrical sound and compellingly bizarre construction — nearly avant garde from time to time.
Marcus & Martinus – Unforgettable
That is the winner of Melodifestivalen 2024 and it’s my favourite observe as neatly. I’m hooked on the smooth synthwave sound and catchy hooks. I am hoping they do neatly in Eurovision!
Olly Alexander – Dizzy
The United Kingdom’s Eurovision access. It’s forged, however Olly’s launched more potent songs prior to now.
Sia & Kylie Minogue – Dance By myself
I wasn’t certain how this mixture would paintings, and the music may do with much less melodic repetition. Alternatively, the beats grow to be extra thrilling because it is going on.
