Let us bring you the joy of ripping your Christmas presents open early with this week’s newest to Melbourne’s most uplifting music mix.
Melbourne lad Sam Bluer has dropped his official debut and it is a banger. Co-written with JOY’s very own Maddy Rowe, ‘Body High’ brings together moody electro-pop and a pulsating beat that’s bound to get you high with excitement. This out-and-proud singer has landed with an explosion of sound, and we think he has big things to come.
Gamilaraay singer-songwriter Thelma Plum is no stranger to good music. Monsters, her last EP released back in 2014, took the folk-pop world by storm, and thankfully she has returned with another winner. ‘Clumsy Love’ is an up-tempo story about a lover who just can’t decide what to do next. Don’t be like that clumsy lover and miss Thelma when she visits Melbourne during her Australian tour in September, though!
We can always count on The Potbelleez for a thumper, and ‘The Moment’ doesn’t disappoint. The Aussie electro-house-dance threesome are sure to get you dancing with the strummy bridge, percussion-laden build and momentous chorus. If you’re a fan of fine trash television, you might have heard the new single during the finale of Love Island Australia. Hopefully it brings back good memories for you – it’s not likely to do so for poor Grant and Tayla!
She’s gone from the Disney Channel to doing her best to break into the mainstream music market, and thanks to R3HAB, Sabrina Carpenter might be on to a winner. ‘Almost Love’, written with Stargate, is the lead single from her forthcoming third studio album, Singular. We thought the original needed a bit of pep, so we’ve taken R3HAB’s work-over to help you get over your work day.
Last year, Zedd asked Norwegian singer Sigrid to sing a song of his called ‘Are You Happy Now’ and told Billboard all about it. Earlier this month, the German-Russian DJ-producer pulled American singer Elley Duhé up on stage during a music festival all about him to sing the very same song. And here we are – the latest from Zedd called ‘Happy Now’, with Elley’s vocals. It’s a fun little bop, but who do you think might have sung it better?
The Greatest Showman smashed all the movie records after its theatrical release last year. The soundtrack has been certified double platinum in Australia and is currently #1 on the ARIA year-to-date chart. The main single, This Is Me, peaked at #10 in Australia and stayed in the top 20 for ten consecutive weeks. Keala Settle isn’t the only star of the show, though – heartthrob Zac Efron and singer Zendaya are ready for a chart challenge with ‘Rewrite the Stars’. It’s another rallying cry to fight for the person you love, and we think you’ll want to march along.
