10 - Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder

Maroon 5 hit the airwaves with their new single 'Makes Me Wonder', the first single from their sophmore album 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long', the follow-up to the ten million selling 'Songs About Jane'. 'Makes Me Wonder' captures all of the elements that create a universally appealing pop rock song; the song segues from a bass heavy intro to an infectiously catchy melody that soon belies the sentiment, "Give me something to believe in because I don’t believe in you anymore". Beneath the surface, it also incorporates what Levine calls "an increasing dissatisfaction with the direction of the world" and its leaders, imparting a new layer of meaning to an otherwise upbeat breakup song.

A runaway success in the States, Gym Class Heroes finally release the infectiously catchy single 'Cupid's Chokehold' here in the UK through Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen in the UK on April 30th to coincide with a full UK headline tour. The song is lifted from the new version of their album 'As Cruel As School Children'.

08 - Sophie Ellis Bextor - Me And My Imagination

'Me And My Imagination’ is set to be the first big dance track of the summer, and is taken from Sophie's third album 'Trip The Light Fantastic'. Referencing her Ibiza days in the sun, 'Me And My Imagination' is a winking disco trot powered by twirling violins and a dizzyingly house groove, which Sophie says is the track most easily reconciled with anything on her million selling debut 'Read My Lips'.

07 - Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms)

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697098462.JPG

 

If there’s one thing to expect from Hellogoodbye, it’s the unexpected. One day the band is sharing the stage with Beyoncé, or at least a cut-out of Beyoncé, and the next day, each member is dressed up as a different piece of fruit. With all the energy and intensity of Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch (minus all that pesky Scientology stuff about people living in volcanoes) Hellogoodbye have spent the last two years perfecting their unbridled live show and booty-shaking anthems.

Despite having never released a record in the UK, Hellogoodbye recently completed a full UK tour, which SOLD OUT on buzz alone. Subsequently the band is now ready to unleash one of their brilliant stand out tracks, 'Here (In Your Arms)'. Described by NY’s Village Voice paper as “an emo band doing euro-pop”, this unlikely track has battled its way to the premier league of US music – The Billboard Top 10.

Amy Winehouse returns to bury her broken heart in the track 'Back To Black'. The single includes the previously unreleased 'Hey Little Rich Girl' and her much celebrated cover of 'Valerie' recorded during Jo Whiley's Live Lounge Radio 1 show. The limited edition 7" inch single pressed on White Vinyl includes a reworking by hot new things and SXSW darlings The Rumble Strips while the 4-track 12" vinyl single includes the Steve Mac Vocal & Smack Dub remixes plus the Gnarls Barklay-esqe mix by Mushtaq.

05 - JoJo - Anything

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELJOCDS.JPG

 

One reviewer described "Anything" as "Delicious ... Breezy, loose vocals from our young heroine offer exceptional companionship to the music, which, surprisingly, avoids becoming monotonous thanks to the winding, escalating performance ... "Anything" should restore JoJo's chart course, connecting with the kids and their moms, who will instantly pick up on the inventive gimmick (at least until they realize that JoJo was born eight years after the original song hit."

Originally recorded by Luther Vandross, a funky R&B version of 'Shine' was released by J Records before the Booty Luv girls got the chance to weave their soulful magic on the song with the end result being this infectious party track.

03 - Mutya Buena - Real Girl

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/PRERELCDSMUTYA.JPG

 

Mutya Buena is back with her debut solo single 'Real Girl'. Having hit the charts with last year's George Michael duet 'This Is Not (Real Love)', Mutya goes it alone with this stunning introduction to her album, also titled 'Real Girl'. The track uses the instantly recognisable hook from Lenny Kravitz's 'It Aint Over 'Til It's Over' and lyrically Mutya confirms she’s still the no-nonsense popstar we came to admire during her time as a founding member in Sugababes. There's no doubt this sassy lady knows exactly what she's doing- look out for her re-entry into planet pop!

'Take Control', takes an authoritative approach to love. Produced by Amerie, Len Nicholson, Mike Caren, and Cee-Lo, the song oozes attitude. Over a funky guitar and punctuated horns, a confident Amerie urges her love to take the initiative.
