Album of the Week: Rita Ora – Phoenix

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/

 

Rita Ora’s new album has been greeted with universal acclaim. Six years in the making (due to legal disputes with her label) a lot of the album feels familiar. This is a function of the streaming age, with singles being dropped over time. We’ve been listening to the late Avicii with Rita on “Lonely Together” and “For You” from the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack for a fair while now but there are plenty of new treats here. NME described it accurately as “a confident pop gem that stands tall on its own”. We look forward to it this week.

Mumford and Sons surprisingly achieved huge success in the 2000s with banjo strumming folk, against all the odds. Their 2015 album Wilder Mind ‘electrified’ them to mixed responses. This album continues their evolution with new sounds, although lead single “Guiding Light” still has the banjo-esque sound. This album has received some mixed reviews, however trust us – there are some great and varied tunes here.

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

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.

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.

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.
