Just Added: Georgia Lines – My Love

Celebrating #nzmusicmonth – another brand new track, this one off Mt Maunganui songwriter Georgia Lines’ brand new self titled EP – exceptional pop!

Album of the Week: Austra – HiRUDiN

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

Although the lyrical subject matter is a bit tortured as it explores separation and relationships ending, Canadian band Austra (Kati Stelmanis) have produced a beautiful collection of songs infused with pop and classical sounds. Layered synths and the dynamic beats of songs like Anywayz provide plenty of contrast in this new album.

The New Music – 4th May 2020

Listen in at 10am (or again at 8pm tonight NZST) for a selection of new and fresh tracks. Its #nzmusicmonth so plenty of Kiwi music too! Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

Just Added: Lisa Crawley – Show You What Love Is

We’re delighted to be debuting this great kiwi song after 1pm today. Lisa Crawley is a multi-instrumentalist whose talents have given her opportunities to perform internationally. She has already released three EP’s and two albums. Enjoy this new single – especially in New Zealand Music Month!

Album of the Week: Lennon Stella – Three. Two. One.

Lennon Stella is a Canadian pop singer who acted in the TV series Nashville. We’ve enjoyed a few of her singles over the past couple of years, and her debut album brings together a solid set of well produced and performed numbers.

Album of the Week: The Strokes – The New Abnormal

Some of the critics have been a bit equivocal about this album. Jon Pareles in the New York Times said “It’s not the early, edgy Strokes, but what they’ve grown up into. Maybe the Strokes won’t make new friends with this album, but old friends can get closer.”

We think this a strong hooky rock album, especially the first half, and look forward to checking it out in full over the week. The track listing:

The Adults Are Talking
Selfless
Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus
Bad Decisions
Eternal Summer
At The Door
Why Are Sundays So Depressing
Not The Same Anymore
Ode To The Mets

The New Music – Episode 1

At 10am Monday we feature great new music. This week including @theacesofficial @lauramarlinghq @AvaMax @rollingbcf @sharonvanetten @dixiechicks @IngridAndress @shalloumusic and more!

Album of the Week: Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

Just in case that album cover isn’t argument enough, this album avoids any concerns over the dreaded ‘second album’. It convincingly delivers track after track of unbounded joy, great melodies blended with 80s synths and a few well chosen samples. Although “Break My Heart” has been chosen as the third single, that honour really belongs to track three, the catchy “Cool”.

Album of the Week: 5 Seconds of Summer – CALM

An aptly titled album in the middle of a pandemic, 5SOS bring another album of inspired pop. Less than two years after their smash hit album Youngblood this one might not have quite had the exposure of that album but still features some strong singles – Wildflower, No Shame and Teeth in particular.

Album of the Week: Yumi Zouma – Truth or Consequences

Acclaimed Kiwi pop quartet Yumi Zouma have come up with another pearler. Recorded in Los Angeles, London and Christchurch, AllMusic describes this album as “sweet, cozy and melodically engaging”. We think you’ll enjoy this sweet album in these crazy times.
