New Music – New Zealand Net Radio

New Music Friday – 16th November 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.

NOURI – Where Do We Go From Here

New Zealand’s latest pop star . . . now based in LA. Hope her dreams come through – certainly a great first single.

Jonas Blue, Jessie Reyez, Juan Magan – Wherever You Go

From the British DJ’s first album, another great track from a nice selection of recent and new tracks.

dodie – If I’m Being Honest

From her forthcoming EP Human, dodie is an English singer-songwriter from Essex.

Leisure – Feeling Free

An awesome summer track from the Kiwi (Auckland) quintet.

Tom Odell – If You Wanna Love Somebody

Quite a classy English songwriter who has been releasing music since 2012, Tom Odell hasn’t made too much of an impact in New Zealand. His new album Jubilee Road has some pretty classy music on it. We’ll be adding more tracks in coming weeks.

Album of the Week: Imagine Dragons – Origins

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/

Only a couple of years after the smash hit album Evolve comes Imagine Dragons’ fourth album, 12 tracks of solid pop rock, written to conquer the charts. Although the singles don’t seem quite as strong as the last album this is still a great listening experience, if you enjoy melodic thumping rock.

New Music Friday – 9th November 2018

Whew – massive week. We’ve already added a fantastic track from Indie band Sunflower Bean (“Come For Me”), and all this to look forward to – and more new tracks coming on the weekend. NZ Hip Hop/Rap artist Kings has put out a great new album with a huge range of sounds. We’re not into the rap stuff, but we love “Carry You”!

Tarn PK – Talk To You

Galantis – Emoji

Kings – Carry You

Ellie Goulding & Diplo – Close To Me

H.E.R. – Carried Away

Album of the Week: The Teskey Brothers – Half Mile Harvest (Deluxe)

Groovy bluesy music – from Australia! The Teskey Brothers have released a deluxe version of last year’s Half Mile Harvest with two great new tracks – “I Get Up” and “Say You’ll Do”. A fantasic album evoking the Motown sound.

We don’t always agree with Pitchfork reviews, but in this case we do:

her masterful command of emotions on the dancefloor slowly reveals itself across another enthralling record

Pop and dance filled with emotion, development and great tunes. This will almost certainly be on most top albums of the year lists, something worth the eight year wait since her last release.

New Music Friday: 26th October 2018

Rüfüs Du Sol – Treat You Better

Been loving this music from the Australian trio this week, another chance to enjoy this great new album.

Richard Ashcroft – That’s When I Feel It

From his pleasant new album Natural Rebel the former Blur frontman has produced some more simple but classic sounds.

Billie Eilish – When The Party’s Over

We can take or leave some of this popsters work but this is one of her best singles. I wish she didn’t look like she’d over-indulged in mind changing substances all the time though!

NEIKED – How Did I Find You (feat. Miriam Bryant)

Openside – Work Out

And saving the best for last, another teaser song from Kiwi band Openside – these tracks are such earworms – should be in the top 10!

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

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).

Meg Mac – Give Me My Name Back
