Album of the Week: Robyn – Honey

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

We don’t always agree with Pitchfork reviews, but in this case we do:

her masterful command of emotions on the dancefloor slowly reveals itself across another enthralling record

Pop and dance filled with emotion, development and great tunes. This will almost certainly be on most top albums of the year lists, something worth the eight year wait since her last release.

New Music Friday: 26th October 2018

Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.

Rüfüs Du Sol – Treat You Better

Been loving this music from the Australian trio this week, another chance to enjoy this great new album.

Richard Ashcroft – That’s When I Feel It

From his pleasant new album Natural Rebel the former Blur frontman has produced some more simple but classic sounds.

Billie Eilish – When The Party’s Over

We can take or leave some of this popsters work but this is one of her best singles. I wish she didn’t look like she’d over-indulged in mind changing substances all the time though!

NEIKED – How Did I Find You (feat. Miriam Bryant)

 

 

 

Openside – Work Out

And saving the best for last, another teaser song from Kiwi band Openside – these tracks are such earworms – should be in the top 10!

 

Album of the Week: RÜFÜS DU SOL – Solace

Some good music out this week (we’ll spin a few for New Music Friday). Greta Van Fleet’s Anthem Of The Peaceful Army got a bit of a savaging in some critical quarters, but even if not the most inventive new rock is still well executed and enjoyable. Also out is MØ with Forever Neverland and Khalid’s devastatingly good EP Suncity. Most interesting for us though was Sydney trio RÜFÜS DU SOL’s third album Solace. Fantasic electonica that further develops their sound. “No Place” is a track we’ve been enjoying for a bit, but there is plenty of substance here.

After a bit of a break Sia reminds us that she’s “Still Here”, great new Kiwi music from Maggie Rogers (a superb track from her promised debut album next January) as well as superb music from Ella Mai, Meg Mac and Jess Glynne ( a great all female lineup this week).

Album of the Week: Anika Moa – Anika Moa

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

A challenging call this week with some big releases – A Star Is Born, Sydney songwriter Ivy Adara’s Intraduction EP, Eric Church’s powerful Desperate Man, the excellent Felivand with In Bloom and Twenty One Pilot’s big Trench.

 

We had to go with the beautiful album by kiwi Anika Moa though. A collection of songs which belie her TV persona, the album was recorded in New Orleans a few months ago with an amazing backing band. Enjoy!

New Music Friday: 5th October 2018

Another great selection. Shallow is the first single from the A Star Is Born soundtrack and deserves to do well.

Sigala Feat. Kodaline – All For Love

 

 

 

 

Loud Luxury feat. Brando – Body

 

 

 

 

 

Kodaline – Shed A Tear

 

 

 

 

 

Rod Stewart & Bridget Cady – Cold Old London

Album of the Week: Christine and the Queens – Chris

We loved Christine and the Queens’ first album a few years ago, and the singles already out for this new effort are remarkable as well. The full album is worth a listen. Unusually we agree with Pitchfork‘s gushing review. It gets into detail about the courage and creativity of her gender crossing persona. We just think its a great collection of music, especially “Girlfriend”, “5 Dollars” and “Doesn’t Matter”. See what you think.

Album of the Week: Lenny Kravitz – Raise Vibration

New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday. Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/

Stephen Erlewine describes this album as “an impassioned collection that spins his signature sounds into something stirring and, at times, incandescent”. This is a positive and much anticipated album four years on from Strut.

Album of the Week: Paul McCartney – Egypt Station

“Macca’s back in the groove” proclaimed The Guardian. Certainly this album contains a number of cracking tracks. Any older artist working with Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic etc) seems to attract immediate fire, presumably for trying to be contemporary. Paul however has always incorporated ‘of the moment’ influences as a rock and pop artist, while remaining true to his core sound as well. This collaboration produces a great catchy tune (“Fuh You”) however its joined by a number of other great tracks including “I Don’t Know”, “Come On To Me”, “Dominoes” and “Back In Brazil” amongst others. We look forward to checking out the album through the week.
