Album of the Week: RÜFÜS DU SOL – Solace

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

Some good music out this week (we’ll spin a few for New Music Friday). Greta Van Fleet’s Anthem Of The Peaceful Army got a bit of a savaging in some critical quarters, but even if not the most inventive new rock is still well executed and enjoyable. Also out is MØ with Forever Neverland and Khalid’s devastatingly good EP Suncity. Most interesting for us though was Sydney trio RÜFÜS DU SOL’s third album Solace. Fantasic electonica that further develops their sound. “No Place” is a track we’ve been enjoying for a bit, but there is plenty of substance here.

New Music Friday: 19th October 2018

Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.

After a bit of a break Sia reminds us that she’s “Still Here”, great new Kiwi music from Maggie Rogers (a superb track from her promised debut album next January) as well as superb music from Ella Mai, Meg Mac and Jess Glynne ( a great all female lineup this week).

Spotlight Artist: Chris de Burgh

Every weekday between 1 and 5pm we play tracks from our #spotlightartist. They’re an artist with a body of work which has stood the test of time. We’ll play the hits – but also some deep cuts. Listen ad-free through New Zealand via @tunein at https://goo.gl/VL6m3NS

Most of us probably know Chris de Burgh solely for his smash hit “Lady In Red”. This hit the top ten in at least nineteen countries in 1986 and has been a staple of Adult Contemporary radio and ‘Love Song’ compilations ever since. “Don’t Pay The Ferryman” from 1983 saw him make his first foray into the Top 40 in the UK and USA, yet Chris had been plying his trade since he signed his first recording contract in 1974, gaining exposure supporting Supertramp on tour. Intriguingly his 1970s albums were pretty successful in Europe and South America, but he failed to make much progress in the UK and USA. He was actually born in Argentina to a British Dad and Irish Mum, and lived in a variety of countries before settling in Ireland. He is described as an ‘art rocker’ who occasionally writes some pop material. We think you’ll enjoy listening to a selection of his quality music this week, from through his career.

Album of the Week: David Bowie – Loving The Alien (1983 – 1988)

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

Some great new albums out this week from Jess Glynn, Kurt Vile and Elvis Costello. Our Album of the Week is one we’ve been looking forward to for a while – our fourth annual treat in the shape of the lastest installment in the David Bowie box set series. Each set comes with 8+ albums including original remastered albums, new live releases and collected singles.

Some of the highlights of Loving The Alien include two double-disk concert albums, a remake of Never Let Me Down (1987 album) and a bunch of dance mixes. We’ll highlight some of our favourite tracks off the box set from this master musician this week.

New Music Friday: 12th October 2018

Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.

Spotlight Artist: The British Invasion

Every weekday between 1 and 5pm we play tracks from our #spotlightartist. They’re an artist with a body of work which has stood the test of time. We’ll play the hits – but also some deep cuts. Listen ad-free through New Zealand via @tunein at https://goo.gl/VL6m3NS

This week something a little different – instead of concentrating on a single artist, we’ll explore the phenomenon known as “The British Invasion”.

British acts started getting some exposure in the US in 1962, with three acts including “Telstar” by The Tornados reaching No 1 on the Hot 100. The term really belongs to the era beginning in late 1963 when disk jockeys began playing “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles. This spawned a massive craze known as Beatlemania, surfed by other British acts including The Animals, The Rolling Stones, Searchers and Zombies. We’ll enjoy a range of great songs from this era this week in our “Spotlight Artist” slot.

Album of the Week: Anika Moa – Anika Moa

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

A challenging call this week with some big releases – A Star Is Born, Sydney songwriter Ivy Adara’s Intraduction EP, Eric Church’s powerful Desperate Man, the excellent Felivand with In Bloom and Twenty One Pilot’s big Trench.

 

We had to go with the beautiful album by kiwi Anika Moa though. A collection of songs which belie her TV persona, the album was recorded in New Orleans a few months ago with an amazing backing band. Enjoy!

New Music Friday: 5th October 2018

Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.

Another great selection. Shallow is the first single from the A Star Is Born soundtrack and deserves to do well.

Spotlight Artist: Phil Collins

Phil Collins is a giant of popular music. Deeply uncool to some, complex to others, his reputation has undergone a bit of a resurgence with his latest tour. Personality aside we think his music is great – the main crime was that it was vastly overplayed on radio at his height. This week we’ll celebrate his songs but with a focus on the lesser played album tracks that stand out – songs like “Who Said I Would” and “Inside Out” from No Jacket Required.
