Biography

 

Joel Corry

“Back Again” might seem like a strange title for a debut single, but not for Joel Corry: When the British DJ/producer dropped his first record in 2015, he was already well known to UK audiences from his appearances on the MTV reality show Geordie Shore. While that program captured its cast members’ romantic misadventures with tongue firmly in cheek, Corry has treated his musical career with far more seriousness, faithfully updating the sounds of classic house with a sleek contemporary touch. Born in London in 1989, Corry was just a boy when the slinky sounds of UK garage catapulted underground dance music into British pop around the turn of the millennium, but he brings the same crossover spirit to his own productions. While 2015’s “Back Again” and “Light It Up” flirted with big-room EDM, Corry looked to the past for his breakout hit, a 2019 cover of Monsta Boy’s 2000 UK garage classic “Sorry” that paired soulful vocals with crisp, jittery drum programming. He’s pursued a similar approach on subsequent singles like “Lonely” and “Head & Heart”, updating the piano chords and organ stabs of ’90s dance pop with 21st-century production values. While Corry’s timeless hooks are perfect for radio, he’s careful to always have something special for the dance floor. As he told Apple Music: “With all my records I like to do my own VIP mix”—that is, a club-ready version that’s a little tougher and heavier. With reality TV in the rearview, these days Corry’s simply keeping it real. - Apple Music

 

Becky Hill

With her highly resonant voice and R&B-influenced style, Becky Hill first came to the public's attention competing on series one of The Voice UK. Ultimately reaching the show's semifinal round, Hill emerged a fan favorite and became the first Voice UK contestant to score a number one single when "Gecko (Overdrive)," her collaboration with Dutch EDM star Oliver Heldens, topped the U.K. singles chart in June 2014. Born on February 14, 1994 in Bewdley, Worcestershire, England, Hill was no stranger to music when she first auditioned for the then new The Voice UK in 2012. As a teenager, she had sung with the acoustic rock & soul group Shaking Trees, which created some local buzz and received several plays on BBC Radio. On The Voice UK she made it to the semifinal with her powerful renditions of R&B songs by the likes of John Legend and others, before being eliminated. By her own admission, she was a novice in the music industry game and it took her 18 months to finally get a record deal. In the meantime, however, her sultry, soulful, older-than-her-years voice was highly sought-after by dance artists looking for feature vocalists. Her first recorded appearance, on British drum'n'bass artist Wilkinson's single "Afterglow," went to number eight on the U.K. singles chart. She then appeared on Rudimental's single "Powerless," singing with them at several U.K. festivals in 2013, including Glastonbury. Following her success with Heldens, Hill worked extensively with London-based dance producer MNEK and issued her debut solo single, "Caution to the Wind." It showcased a shift toward a more electronica-influenced sound, with twinkling melodies and production reminiscent of Four Tet. The Eko EP appeared in 2017, and included the single "Unpredictable." The single "Sunrise in the East" followed a year later. In 2019, Hill issued a pair of upbeat singles, "I Could Get Used to This," which featured Weiss, and "Wish You Well," which featured Sigala. - Apple Music

Damn I expected a bigger climb this week, it seems to have stalled on Spotify too :/

I think 'History' is a solid enough song, but this formula really has been done to death now that I struggle to find it exciting.

If Nicki minji 17 I be kick myself had her 17 chart game before change 27

Hope out top 20 Ruth next week

Where's Hope going next week?, Top 20 Ruth will still be there. ;)

Jax Jones & Becky Hill collaboration next??

I think 'History' is a solid enough song, but this formula really has been done to death now that I struggle to find it exciting.

As above, I think Becky needs a new angle, just seems a bit average, compared to her other tracks

Biography

 

In a 2019 interview with Apple Music, Harry Styles shared a memory from the early days of One Direction. They were in the studio in Sweden working on “What Makes You Beautiful”. First single, the rollercoaster train just starting to climb the track. Someone comes into the room and says there are a couple of girls outside. Why? the band asks. They’re looking for you guys. For One Direction. “And we’re all just like, ‘But we’re in Sweden!’”

 

Ah, the old, “who…us?” routine. Harry! Incorrigibly charming, dreamboat for starry-eyed youth the world over. And, as it turns out, a legitimate force in pop, the kind of artist who could bridge contemporary appeal with classic values in ways that felt fresh but familiar, universal.

 

Part of what had made One Direction so great was that they never shied away from the pleasures of boy-band pop, but never patronised their audiences or fell back on gimmicks, either: Never mind the no-dancing policy; they were writing songs, exploring music as something beyond the show. In his solo career, Styles (born 1994, in Redditch, England) has done much the same, combining soul (“Watermelon Sugar”), confessional soft rock (“Sign of the Times”) and psychedelia (“Sunflower, Vol. 6”) with a modern touch, summarising where pop has been while also pushing it forward. “I’m just trying to go through life being a little less worried about stuff,” he said. “Definitely with working. Because ultimately, it’ll be okay.” He had a busy five years there. But he’s got a lifetime ahead of him. - Apple Music

Biography

 

Luude

Seemingly out of nowhere, young Perth based producer Christian Benson aka Luude has quickly risen to the forefront of a new wave of artists in australia. Uploading his first track to Soundcloud only a little over a year ago, Luude has taken very listen time in making a name for himself. Gaining early support and co-sings from some of the biggest names in the game - Skrillex, RL Grime, Getter, Borgore, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, and Jauz regularly championing Luude on the biggest stages in the world and that has opened the doors to thousands of new fans who are now dying to see this enigmatic young producer in the flesh. The past few months have seen Luude release singles which have received millions of hits across all platforms and critical acclaim from reputable media. The entirely independent Luude 2.0 remix project has been met with an equal amount of fanfare with thousands of new fans visiting the account every day. The online hype quickly spilled into the offline world with Luude embarking on a huge 27 date headline Australia / New Zealand tour - which include some of the biggest venues in the territory selling out months in advance. The kids shows no signs of slowing down with a packed festival schedule and Asia and U.S dates in his sights for 2018. - Spin Artist Agency

 

Mattafix

Though Mattafix's Marlon Roudette and Preetesh Hirji come from different backgrounds (Roudette grew up on the island of St. Vincent, where he studied the steel drums, while Hirji was born to Indian parents in London and was fascinated by the computer), as a band they play urban, poppy music that fits in perfectly on European radio. Calling themselves Mattafix, a derivative of the West Indian expression "matter fixed," the group released the single "Big City Life" in the summer of 2005, and the song, a mix of island cadence and clean production, was soon being played across Continental airwaves. - Apple Music

Calvin Harris as well.

Heard 'HISTORY' on R1 last weekend and absolutely shocked and chagrinned to report that I thought it was incredibly generic and unnecessary xx (it's better than 'Crazy What Love Can Do' though I think so... improvement I guess?)

Luude's doing well!

Love this :music:

Nooooo at Nicki Minaj ahead of Luude :(

Obsessed with this song! Such a bop, top 10 next please

HISTORY :wub: hope it can keep going upwards!

 

Big City Life in the top 20 is great to see too.
