How rubbish it must be for Rhianna, when she tells someone she's "the singer, Rhianna" only to get a laugh in return, and some advice to improve on her Jamaican accent if she wants to get away with that one. She may not have had anything to quite the level of Umbrella, SOS or Don't Stop The Music, but I definitely preferred Rhianna's first two singles to Rihanna's. You might remember her single...

She may be a typical Essex girl, but Pixie Lott is working with a very impressive selection of producers on her forthcoming debut album - Babyface, Cutfather & Joe, Soulshock, Kara Diogardi, Rodney Jerkins, The Underdogs, K-Gee and Rick Nowels. With that many big names, she's sure to come up with at least one or two great songs, and already her MySpace has some pretty good offerings. My favour...

I only discovered Stacy yesterday, but it seems she's been going for quite a while. 23-year-old Stacy survived a life-threatening blood disease in her teenage years, and now does a lot of charity work for people with similar conditions. She is from New York but now lives in California, released an album Apples and Oranges in 2007, and soon will have a new acoustic album. Matter of Time is the ...

Remember EliZe, the top dance-pop lady of the Netherlands, she of Automatic, Shake and Into Your System? Well, she's back! Lovesick has been out a few weeks in Holland, and is so far at no.17 in the top 100, already much higher than her disappointing last single Itsy Bitsy Spider, which only reached 54. It's probably the most properly dance music single that she's released so far, but it is st...

No-one could claim that Germany is at the forefront of poptasticness, but what they can be complimented on is their persistant efforts, especially in the area of r'n'b-pop. One example of a German act having an amazing breakthrough of aceness was Monrose's excellent 2007 single, Hot Summer, one of the best r'n'b-pop songs of last year. Now they're back with a new single called Strike The Match...

I hate exams. Because of mine it has taken me 8 days to post this, the most wonderfully ace of all the wonderfully ace new songs on the UK release of This Is Alphabeat. I listen to this CD and I just can't believe it's real - this band are so amazing! I know not everyone gets it, but it doesn't matter one jot to me: they are the most brilliant and glorious band around. Just from looking at the...

Mystery Jets were one of those bands who I knew the name of but couldn't tell you anything about them, except they are an indie band with a male singer. It was only today I realised it was them who did that song about a Dennis who can't fool them. Recently I have been getting to know much more about them, and coming to like them a lot - first they duetted with lovely Laura Marling on an equally...

This remix of a rock song is one of the best dance songs I've heard in ages. If you like Sarah's fellow Aussies the Rogue Traders, you'll enjoy this, and even if not, you've got to listen to it for the great use of a rather unsubtle Kelis reference. I hope she won't get sued for it! It's a brilliantly catchy and feisty song, and with her grainy yet powerful voice it's great to sing along to in ...

I'm not a huge fan of Bed Of Nails, but his new single Bring It On is a bit better, and on his MySpace he has some really great pop songs. My favourite is East End Blues. His style is somewhat like Prince, but an updated 21st century version. If Prince was releasing these songs, he might have a few more top 10 hits. Similarly, Leon may have a few more hits if he was Prince - at the moment he's...

I've known of Nicole by name for several months now, but never got around to listening to her music. Watching The Box the other day I kept seeing her video for new UK single Maybe Tonight, and although at first I wasn't overwhelmed, it grew on me after a few listens and I was intrigued enough to listen to some more of her music. I'm glad I did as I liked all of the songs I heard. There isn't on...
