New music to weekdays (27 August, 2014)
James Varnish – Are You Coming Around (IND) [AU]
Koshakti ft Sean Wade – Losing Gravity (IND) [AU]
Nathaniel – Live Louder (SME) [AU]
Sigma ft Paloma Faith – Changing (UMA)
Kicking off our new music this week is Melbourne-based independent out-and-proud singer-songwriter James Varnish. It’s been three years since ‘Compare’ graced our airwaves and it’s nice to have him back with the first single, ‘Are You Coming Around’, from his new EP V.
A newly formed duo out of Brisbane, Koshakti (Kevin Freeman) and Sean Wade, have released what they hope will be the first of many singles. Losing Gravity is already attracting interest outside of Australia and we’re happy to help the boys out locally.
X Factor 2012 alumnus Nathaniel follows up his platinum-selling ‘You’ and gold-certified ‘You’re Beautiful’ with something a little more funky in Live Louder.
Paloma Faith’s recent stint at the top of the Australian charts has finally given her some well-deserved credibility here. Team her up with the recent success of UK production duo Sigma’s “Nobody to Love” (a remake of a Kanye West song) and we expect to see a surefire hit with Changing.
Set your alarm and tune into Rochén and Michael on the six at six for the newest songs to the mix, every weekday at 6am Melbourne time.
