UK MUSIC: TALEY RILEY – HUMANOID

First of all let me thank Social Writers Blog for bringing singer/songwriter Taley Riley to my attention, who apparently co-wrote Chipmunk’s number 1 classic Oopsy Daisy. Humanoid is Taley’s debut single and I’m sorry but Taley is just a Taio Cruz clone. His image.. his sound.. that’s Taio! But the track is kind of catchy. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

UK MUSIC: ANGHA FT DELE – FOR YOU

Check out British Hip Hop duo Angha and their debut single For You, featuring Dele. For You is a well produced track, but it sounds very familiar, and has that late 90s / early noughties American R&B/Hip Hop saccharine sweat fusion going on.

UK ARTIST: JADE EWEN – ‘MY MAN’

This is former Eurovision contestant Jade Ewen’s debut single ‘My Man’. ‘My Man’ sounds suspiciously familiar, but it’s an OK uptempo mainstream track and should do well. I wish Jade the best of luck with it. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
