WORKING MEN'S CLUB presents with CIRCUMFERENCE (RADIO EDIT) an excellent old school New Wave track whilst Ruben Block keeps on working on his own sound with That'sJust The Way. Arabnormal sounds a bit like Prince with their new single: Gum. Tim Burgess has an excellent single: Sure Enough it's the single of the week!


RUBEN BLOCK - THAT'S JUST THE WAY 

Ruben Block is gearing up for the release of his solo debut album. The brand new single That’s Just The Way is the final tastemaker before the album drops. 3min of groovy and seductive rock with an offbeat guitar riff, Ruben’s alluring vocals and a killer chorus. It’s the perfect synthesis of the album. It’s rock & roll you can dance to, it’s pop music with weird twists and turns. It’s a total banger!

BOOGIE BELGIQUE - WONDER

Wonder, the third single from Boogie Belgique's forthcoming album Machine, is a joyful yet nostalgic nod to their roots. In line with fan favorites like Goodnight Moon and Forever & Ever, this modern melancholic Crooner, inspired by the 1909 Harold Orlob hit  I Wonder Who’s Kissing You Now, mixes modern punchy beats with the best of the swing and big band era.

ARABNORMAL - GUM

Another taste of Arabnormal’s new album Offworld PeaceGum is a psycho space ballad, a slow burning groover, a not-so-cheery wave to impending doom. Written and recorded by Younes Faltakh and Niek Meul in a mold infested tipi while watching the apocalypse.


JONATHAN JEREMIAH - YOUNGBLOOD

Youngblood is the last upbeat groovy track from Jonathan Jeremiah’s forthcoming album, out on September 9th. It shows the remarkable depth of his craft, with his wonderfully weary, warm voice carving out haunting melodies amid unusually refined arrangements with his wonderful band.

ELIZA - ME VS ME (RADIO EDIT)

With this track, ELIZA puts to bed the internal struggles she battles with, opening up and facing her demons head on. This track acts as a chant to dismiss the negative thoughts that enter our minds and be free from the hold that it can have on us. "A song about putting the petty to rest. I don’t have the strength to fight you when I’m already fighting myself." A deep jazz influenced instrumental is provided by long time collaborator Phairo.

Released is new single Frisco - a bouncy minimal dance track about “renewal, letting out your full potential and moving with the wave of change and life.” The band are also currently touring across the US and Canada alongside Leon Bridges.

LOUIS COLE - I'M TIGHT (RADIO EDIT)

New single I’m Tight arrives hot on the heels of Let it Happen, released earlier this month. I’m Tight is a sleek, laser-focused Funk rocket, based on an utterly irresistible bassline. “It comes from me recording about 100 different cells of funk, choosing my favorite ones and quilting them together into a song,” says Louis. “I had to practice the bass part a lot for this one,” he adds, smiling. The song comes with an incredible video full of amazing dance moves in a choreagraphy by Louis Cole.

TIM BURGESS - SURE ENOUGH

While in The Charlatans, Tim’s indefatigable energy has been a consistent fuel for the band across thirteen high-charting albums. His solo adventure has been no less extraordinary, scaling new heights in 2020 with his fifth solo album, I Love The New Sky, followed by the Ascent of the Ascended EP in 2021. Sure Enough is the third and last single release from his upcoming new album, Typical Music, due 23 September 2022.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB - CIRCUMFERENCE (RADIO EDIT)

Working Men’s Club recently released their second album Fear Fear on July 15 via Heavenly RecordingsThe album was produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, MIA, Tricky) and lead single Widow was the first introduction to the new record.  In the form of Circumference WMC  share another cut.  “I’m feeling alright now the time is passing by/the further we fall makes me feel fine”. It’s a song from someone stuck in time and place, built on the kind of crystalline, heaven sent synth lines that Depeche Mode or Human League used to trade in.
