Sydney-based four-piece pop-rock band Little Sea worked with Sony Music in 2015. Returning to independent territory they have a new EP and new single with lots to offer. ‘Cut It Out’, which is about finishing a bad relationship, kicks off our new music this week.
The debut single from Mauritian-born, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Valerie, ‘I’ll Be Loving You’, is definitely worth a listen.
English indie rock band Bastille hit our playlist for the first time with ‘Good Grief’.
We were onto Dua Lipa early with her recent hit, ‘Be the One’, and we think ‘Hotter than Hell’ is going to be just as big.
American DJ-producer Steve Aoki is continuing to try new things. After teaming up with Adam Lambert just a few months ago, he’s now called on 80s retro-groovers Walk the Moon for vocals on his latest single, ‘Back 2 U’.
UK pop-rock veterans Kaiser Chiefs have a sixth studio studio album due out on 7 October, and the lead single, ‘Parachute’, is very good.
Best known for her massive worldwide hit ‘Lean On’ with Major Lazer, MØ hits our playlist for the first time with ‘Final Song’.
Set your alarm and tune into Michael on the Six at Six for the newest songs to the mix, every weekday at 6am Melbourne time.
