Don't Give Up – SILK/Chicane/Bryan Adams (6.7/10)

A funky bass and solid EDM beat overall, but why pick BRYAN ADAMS when he sounds so old and out of it for the mix? I have no issues with old people featuring on dance songs, but you can hear the cracks in his voice, and he can't even reach the song's needed pitch. Why waste a well-built, jam-packed banger of a beat on him?!

Nobody But Us - Mario (5/10)

The lyricism is weirdly sexual and at times goes too far from the chilled love into something deeper, especially when you didn't think that's what you'd be served. Aside from that, it's a Chris Brown-styled R&B song with the tune being expected for the genre. In other words, nothing new.

Dip – Wallie The Sensei/Ty Dolla $ign/Blxst (6/10)

A rap cut from two separate sides, one showing a less altered upbeat rap side and another showing a more tuned version (Ty).

Guabansexxx – Rauw Alejandro (6/10)

Latin music that feels like a comfortable fit for Rauw, at least that's what I think.

April - Rose Grey (7.2/10)

Early this year Rose Grey dropped an album that I found fine; it was enjoyable but not a step in any direction that defines a new character. But she doesn't necessarily have to be defined; as much as it would be nice, I think making your brand of summer pop (that other artists make similarly too) can be ok! After all, the synths are poppy, and the fun elements feel great too. Blast at the beach reminds me of Calvin Harris! The dance claps make me think of the late 2010s style, maybe something that would be interesting to see Jess Glynne on.

Slow Burn – Sadie Jean (8/10)

Think of the gentle acoustic radio pop that many artists make on their smaller rise to fame, but the good side of it is a little like Tate McRae. This song feels like it could get nostalgic over time!

Eatcha Beatcha – Bunna B (7/10)

Sexy Red, but I actually understand her? OK, to be clear, this by no means should make you think I like Bunna B; I'm just understanding the negative impact on music more and learning. This isn't too bad.

REMIND ME – Chase Atlantic (7.9/10)

A noticeable use of tuning, but also noticeably good. Definitely a good sign for the modern R&B's push to make music more unique.

Better - Nimino/Manta (5/10)

Bright piano keys with a bright kick in from the bass; the bad part was the glitchy in-and-out hearing of the noise, especially on top of the chanting, which makes it feel like a mistake CYRIL would make.

Too Much – Rushy/Kairo Keyz (5/10)

Aitch could've done it, AJ could've, or, in fact, any UK rapper could've made the same rap you hear from the country's stereotypes. Boring.

Celosa – Ke Personajes/J Balvin (7.1/10)

I don't think the tone of the song fits the jealous, worrying girl definition they're aiming for, but at least this had one of the best rock pieces for this New Music Friday. So killer.

AP Freestyle - Nemzzz (6.5/10)

Basically exactly what I said for Rushy & Kairo Keyz, but instead slightly better.

High For You - Delilah (7.2/10)

A fine job at making a BBC-level playable radio song, but it would be better if she did another song with her previous collaborator Fred Again.

DEVIL IS A LIAR – Gio./John Michael Howell (8.5/10)

Was NOT expecting this from Christian artist Gio; his vocals sound like The Kid Laroi in the best way possible, with the beat sounding so professional and fresh, with all inputs having that clean and funky boogie that CARRIES the song. Oh, and the starting few guitar chords made me think of a sequence Ed Sheeran would use in his older songs lol.

Crystallised – John Summit/Inéz (7.5/10)

A strong electronic bass with vocals reminding me of Sia, and more so her stronger performances. Both of those two things come together into an addicting song.

Deep Clear Water – Gryffin/GRiZ (7/10)

There are elements from house, jazz and just singing, some you have to listen closely for, but they're all in there in a very interesting mix. My big problem is the layering and mastering isn't the greatest, along with the singing sounding unfit for this song... or, in fact, any song. But yes, there's still value here which I'll take.

Never The Same - Boy Soda (7/10)

MISUNDERSTOOD – Hannah Bahng (7.1/10)

Such a mellow listen, but instead it's faster and still packs a punch with guitars, but instead they're toned down too to a pitch that reflects what this song should be about.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL – FACESOUL (8/10)

A song about praying to see the light in a graceful display of true emotions and calming takes. It truly is lovely to the ears.

My Bad - George Birge (5/10)

Fake country that feels like the overly forced versions of the genre that only appeal to the worst radio stations.

Fall In Your Arms – James Vickery (7.2/10)

That's some soulful vocals that I don't often hear!

Is Anybody Out There? - Allie X (8.1/10)

A gothic pop-rock song with the echo-like wave on the hook providing a nice pattern before the drums kick in. I really like this; it certainly didn't take a bland route of choice.

Madeline - Carter Vail (6/10)

Yeah, it's a nice little radio song, but it does have this annoyingly generic and cheesy side.

Dreamin' – Cuco (7.2/10)

CURIOUS - Sam Gellaitry/Toro y Moi (8.1/10)

Lovely placed glitchy disco that gives hope for a Friday night funk. It does feel like something that would go from the radio to the club.

Driving me crazy - Snuggle (7.3/10)

Simply calming and nice for a sit-down.

No Lies Detected [Blind] - Oxymorons (8/10)

It kind of goes hard; I mean, it has a great use of the vocal and guitar balance in a hard rock song that sounds like Linkin Park would mess with it a little.

Let Down – Acopia (8/10)

808 HYMN - Erin Lecount (8/10)

The aesthetic for this feels like it's delving into something new, something artistic and something that can't be exactly compared to anything else. Wonderfully futuristic.

Drag – Yumi Zouma (7.1/10)

Good grief! - Jervis Campbell (7/10)

This has its similarities to Cian Ducrot and Mark Ambor, or a brand of starting-out acoustic pop. I'll take it.

Last Shot – VALORANT/Templuv/347aidan (7.5/10)

It fits a fast-paced shooting video game; it has action and energy, exactly what I'm looking for.

Making Love To Morgan Wallen - Limp Bizkit (7.5/10)

Yeah... I only listened to the song because of its title. But surprisingly I enjoyed it; it was a piece of pretty badass rock!

JUICY – Jordan Ward (7.2/10)

Change My Mind – Phantastic Furniture (7.7/10)

Sewers – mehro (7.8/10)

An emotionally gripping song with a strong guitar backing used in a production that kicks up the song to the biggest high around the 3:00 to 3:30 mark.

MAN ABOVE – Aaron Cole/nobigdyl. (7/10)

Christian rap – that's not your usual for those who don't explore the scene.

Tied To You - Lori McKenna/Medium Build (6.5/10)

This is a remix of the original Chicane/Bryan Adams song from 2000 when Adams was 40 - it went #1 in the UK.
