Believe New Release w/c 25/11/13 Posted: 22 Nov 2013 04:29 AM PST Artist: Charlotte OC Release: Colour My Heart Label: Stranger Records Genre: Pop 22 year old Charlotte OC, hailed as the British Lana Del Ray, arrives with her debut EP on Stranger Records (Lana Del Ray, Filthy Boy). The title track ‘Colour My Heart’ written by Charlotte, was produced and recorded by Tim Anderson (Solange, Sia) in LA. ‘Colour My Heart’ is an intoxicating mix of emotional lyrics and heady, thick vocals. The Blackburn born singer has spread her wings over to LA and recorded and produced a supernatural title track and video. There is a spooky and bewitching sound to the song that is powered along by underlying beats and earthy melodies pulsating throughout. Artist: Armand Van Helden Release: The Best of Armand Van Helden Label: Southern Fried Records Genre: Dance 10 tracks of pure Armand van Helden funk on this excellent Best Of comp. An awful lot has changed for Armand Van Helden since he first signed to Southern Fried back in 2002. In 2005, he scored a huge commercial hit with 'My My My', his biggest since 'You Don't Know Me' hit No.1 back in '99. In the interim, he's released two excellent long players, 'Nympho' (2004) and 'Ghettoblaster' (2007) while also satisfying his New York culture vulture cravings with 'New York: A Mix Odyssey' (2004). With five top thirty singles under his belt, it appears that Armand has found himself a new home in the new millennium.

Records release Alcopopular 6 on a label coloured mountain bike – but at £300 it’s a touch pricey, so they did it digitally too. These bands are the future of alternative music in the UK.
