Dance The Night is good but I’m already a bit bored of it. Not too fussed whether it goes Top 10 or not.

Same and that goes for PP too tbh but both have done very well to be so consistent.

Hope 'Little Things' may have secured a top 10 here... (though not heard Billie's song yet so can't comment on how I'd feel about that keeping it out).

 

Thank god 'Pakistan' is fading now.

Biography

 

Blending classical vocal artistry with beats inspired by modern R&B, reggae and hip-hop, Jorja Smith has risen to become one of Britain’s most exciting soul singers since her debut single, the searching, Dizzee Rascal-sampling “Blue Lights”, came out in 2016. Born in Walsall in 1997, Smith began studying music at an early age while listening to reggae, dub and soul music on her own, and her YouTube covers of hits by Alex Clare and Tinie Tempah garnered her notice from industry bigwigs. Smith’s second single, the glossy “Where Did I Go?”, was praised by Drake that July; a few months later, she released her debut EP, Project 11, and was named to the BBC’s Sound of 2017 long list. Drake invited Smith to tour with her and appear on his project More Life in 2017, and later that year she collaborated with American urbano star Kali Uchis on “Tyrant” and toured the world with Bruno Mars. Smith kicked off her 2018 with the BRIT Critics’ Choice Award, and soon after, she put out her debut full-length, Lost & Found, which showcased her defiantly honest songwriting, effortless genre-mixing and supple voice on tracks like the soulful “Wandering Romance” and the downtempo “On Your Own”. - Apple Music

Billie Eilish

What Was I Made For?

 

170x170bb.jpg

 

Soundtrack single from Barbie

Released: 13th July 2023

Label: Darkroom / Interscope Records

 

On “What Was I Made For?”, her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, Billie Eilish contemplates life in plastic. “Taking a drive/I was an ideal/Looked so alive/Turns out I'm not real/Just something you paid for/What was I made for?” she reflects, channeling the titular doll as she moves between worlds. If you’ve seen the trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed film, you’ll know that it’s more than just a breezy ride in a hot-pink Corvette—it's an irreverent take on a complicated pop-cultural icon, and Eilish matches that depth with a poignant ballad. “I don't know how to feel, but I wanna try,” she sings. “I don't know how to feel, but someday I might.” - Apple Music

Biography

 

When singer-songwriter Billie Eilish feels something new, the first thing she does is take out her phone and write it down. “You can write anything,” she told Apple Music in an interview for the Up Next series. “You can say the truth, and you can not tell anyone that it’s the truth—you can just write it, and it’ll be yours.” Raised and homeschooled in Los Angeles by actor/musician parents, Eilish (born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell in 2001) started writing songs when she was around 11, exploring a strain of melancholy, minimal and slightly surrealistic pop influenced as much by Lana Del Rey as the radical honesty of rappers like Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. Writing and recording with her brother—and producer—Finneas O’Connell at their parents’ house, Eilish released dont smile at me in 2017, followed by an ever-evolving series of singles—a prime example of the fact that, in the streaming era, artists are now free to move directly from their bedrooms into the spotlight. Despite the attention, Eilish is doing her best to stake out a space of freedom and fluidity, expanding her range of collaborators (Vince Staples, Khalid) and dodging easy definition. “If people think I have a sound, if people are like, ‘Oh yeah, her sound is this,’ if someone asks you what my sound is and you have an answer for them—you’re wrong,” she told Beats 1’s Zane Lowe. “Instead of trying to find a sound, when I want to make something and when I have an idea of what I want to make, I’m just going to make that.” - Apple Music

Humbug xx (the Gypsy Woman mashup really seems to be taking off now though so maybe it can still continue climbing, just really taking its sweet time, feels like 'Bad Habit' all over again).

 

I wouldn't have expected at the beginning of the week that Billie would hold up this well!

Glad that Billie Eilish managed to hang on for that top 10 place!

I'm not really a Billie fan these days, she's become particularly style over substance to me, but this is growing on me, it's really pleasant.

 

Barbie World is superior tho and I'm not sorry x

What Was I Made For is such a beautiful song. Her vocals and lyrics are so moving. Glad it got a top ten position.

Biography

 

Nathan Dawe

BRIT-nominated DJ/producer Nathan Dawe is one of the UK’s biggest breakout dance acts of the last five years. Buoyed by a huge fan base in Birmingham and the Midlands, Nathan’s regional transmits nationwide – as evidenced by a series of standout UK Top 10 singles. From BRIT-nominated UK #3 single ‘Lighter’ ft. KSI to 2022’s UK #9 summer anthem ’21 Reasons’ ft. Ella Henderson, Nathan has established himself as a bonafide and definitive artist. Further collaborations with everyone from Little Mix to Anne-Marie to fellow Midlander, Bru-C, on latest single ‘Oh Baby’ ft. bshp & Issey Cross, also continue to showcase his fluid and versatile approach to music-making. If that wasn’t enough, Nathan has also earned a host of different accolades over the last three years. In January 2021, he was crowned MTV’s Push Artist for 2021 for example, holding off competition from the likes of Griff, Arlo Parks and Pa Salieu, and was later also made an official ambassador of Aston Villa FC’s Academy – the football team he’s supported since he was a boy. Nathan also held down his debut residency at Ibiza Rocks in 2021 – he’s already booked in for a third consecutive slot for summer 2023 – and enjoyed his busiest year of touring yet in 2022, playing festivals including Creamfields, We Are FSTVL, Pierjam, Bassfest and Boardmasters, as well as a host of bustling club dates across Europe. - Spotify

 

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

 

Ella Henderson

Bursting on to the scene in 2014, at just 18-years-old Ella Henderson went on to achieve global success with her debut single, ‘Ghost.’ Co-written with Ryan Tedder, the song became the fastest-selling debut single from any British Artist in 2014. That same year, Ella’s debut album, ‘Chapter One,’ (Salaam Remi, Babyface, Steve Mac, TMS) spawned her first Platinum selling album, making her one of only 3 UK artists to break Platinum in 2014. A revered artist, in 2015 Ella received two prestigious BRIT Award nominations for 'Best British Female' and 'Best British Single', rounding off the year with a landmark sell-out UK headline tour, which included two shows at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Following a whirlwind few years, Ella returned to the studio to being work on her next project. During the process she continued to collaborate with some of the biggest names in music, appearing on hits produced by superstar DJ’s Kygo and Sigma. She also returned to the live stage, touring with the likes of Take That, James Arthur and Rudimental, the latter of whom signed her to a new record deal with their label Major Toms/Asylum. For Ella, this marked a brand new start. “I want it to be fresh,” says the 23-year-old. “The industry's changed so drastically since I last released music over four years ago. I want to embrace that. I want to treat everything like it's a clean slate.” - Spotify

Biography

 

Hannah Laing

Dundee DJ-producer Hannah Laing is rapidly making her mark on dance music. The explosive success of her early career saw her on lineups beside major players in the industry, supporting the likes of Carl Cox, MK, FISHER and CamelPhat. Following that she spent 3 seasons as an Ibiza resident when she was 19 years old, and has since performed all over the world as a lady behind the decks with the crowd at her fingertips. Hannah’s deep understanding of the dancefloor stems from her parent’s love of electronic genres – spanning house and trance, her childhood was soundtracked by unforgettable figures such as the likes of Sasha, Roger Sanchez, Paul Oakenfold and Dave Pearce. Launching her very own podcast and club night ‘Hannah’s Choice’ in 2019 saw a running of sell out events across Scotland hosting headliners like Ben Hemsley and Hannah Wants. Her coveted edits and bootlegs have sparked global hype, but particularly her take on Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor, which has received support from Jaguar Solardo, Cloonee and more. Stacking up releases on acclaimed labels such as Jax Jones’ WUGD, Spinnin’ Records, Solardo’s Solaand Patrick Topping’s TRICK where ‘And Back’ was Trick’s Tasty Techno bestselling track, Sarah Story’s Future Track ID and received support from Danny Howard and Pete Tong. This all comes alongside bookings at iconic venues like London’s Printworks, SWG3 Glasgow, Creamfields, and the legendary DC10 as part of the Patrick Toppings first TRICK takeover, plus the legendary Ministry of Soundfor the first installment of Jax Jones Presents: Midnight Snacks. This year is set to be Hannah’s best yet, with a back-to-back summer schedule taking her across the biggest festivals and club stages in Europe, plus further releases on their way. - last.fm

 

RoRo

Hailing from the island of Barbados, RoRo wears her musical influences on her skin - via tattoos of her idols Etta James, Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill and Nina Simone inked onto her arms. Equipped with attitude (and choruses) to spare, RoRo showcased her ability to reach audiences far beyond her island roots with her debut EP - 'Mood Forever'. Earning Annie Mac's 'New Name' on BBC Radio 1 with her debut single, Mine, RoRo went on to gain further support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC 1xtra, Capital Xtra and beyond. Follow-up singles Dance with the Devil and Mood Forever landed support from radio and online tastemakers in UK, U.S., Europe and across the Caribbean. An interview feature on Edith Bowman's Play Next podcast gave a glimpse into RoRo's world and the writing behind it. 2020 also saw RoRo reactively release Black - Palace of Me, in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. A one-take track that explores black positivity, recorded over a year prior and not intended for a release, it showcased the depth of RoRo's writing ability and yet another musical style that she effortlessly carries. - Spotify
