New Music Friday: A Totally Bandit week for pop, plus Christine and the Queens returns

  • May 18, 2018
  • Popjustice

Notes:

  • The new Christine and the Queens single was released on a day that wasn't Friday, which means it doesn't quality for top-of-the-playlist status, and also it's not as good as the Clean Bandit and Demi Lovato single, so that's all worked out fine.
  • Great to see Leon Else get a big moment on the generally-really-good 13 Reasons Why season two soundtrack album with My Kind Of Love.
  • Galantis and Uffie: what a team.
  • Betty Who's still going!
  • Nicole Millar is one of the more exciting artists working in a very crowded pop space: No Strings is the latest glimpse of a really rather great debut album that's due for release later this year.
  • Riton and Kah-Lo have released their song again, and that's fine.
  • Hard to know how to cover the existence of the (pretty great but that's not the point) new Backstreet Boys single, really.
  • For different reasons it's hard to know how to approach Hillsong Young & Free's latest godbanger. What a world!
