A pretty difficult choice this week with solid albums from Jason Isbell, Perfume Genius, The Magnetic Fields and a big one from Charli XCX (among others), but we settled on this solid EP
Its #nzmusicmonth and we’ve got another new Kiwi addition. Cassie Henderson competed in the first season of The X Factor: New Zealand back in 2013. Now 21 she has just released her first single, Tainted. We like it!
Celebrating #nzmusicmonth, this new addition was released back in March. Christchurch duo There’s A Tuesday won the Smokefreerockquest solo/due competition with their single “Piñata Head”. This followup sounds great!
Celebrating #nzmusicmonth – a fresh track from rising R&B talent Ashy. Christchurch based Ashy has just released this great new single.
Celebrating #nzmusicmonth – another brand new track, this one off Mt Maunganui songwriter Georgia Lines’ brand new self titled EP – exceptional pop!

Although the lyrical subject matter is a bit tortured as it explores separation and relationships ending, Canadian band Austra (Kati Stelmanis) have produced a beautiful collection of songs infused with pop and classical sounds. Layered synths and the dynamic beats of songs like Anywayz provide plenty of contrast in this new album.
Listen in at 10am (or again at 8pm tonight NZST) for a selection of new and fresh tracks. Its #nzmusicmonth so plenty of Kiwi music too! Listen in @tunein at https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/
We’re delighted to be debuting this great kiwi song after 1pm today. Lisa Crawley is a multi-instrumentalist whose talents have given her opportunities to perform internationally. She has already released three EP’s and two albums. Enjoy this new single – especially in New Zealand Music Month!

Lennon Stella is a Canadian pop singer who acted in the TV series Nashville. We’ve enjoyed a few of her singles over the past couple of years, and her debut album brings together a solid set of well produced and performed numbers.

Some of the critics have been a bit equivocal about this album. Jon Pareles in the New York Times said “It’s not the early, edgy Strokes, but what they’ve grown up into. Maybe the Strokes won’t make new friends with this album, but old friends can get closer.”
We think this a strong hooky rock album, especially the first half, and look forward to checking it out in full over the week. The track listing:
