Selena Gomez ft. A$AP Rocky: ‘Good for You’ (out now) Ella Eyre: ‘Good Times’
T
he former Disney star continues to mature her soundscape with new cut ‘Good for You’, shaking away the glittery thumps of Stars Dance for a more restrained, stripped-down R&B affair. It allows Selena to delve deeper than she has been allowed to before, but we wouldn’t want her to ditch the polished pop gems altogether.
Demi Lovato: ‘Cool for the Summer’ (TBC)
W
hile 2013’s Demi (and the very good single ‘Heart Attack’) saw Demi Lovato achieve her biggest success yet internationally, the former X Factor USA judge has seemingly changed the formula for her next album. ‘Cool for the Summer’ isn’t what her fans will expect, but instead is a breezy, dusky pop serenade, that ramps up with husky guitars before it ends. It’s a surprising switch-up, but one that has every potential to see Demi’s global profile shine even more.
(out August 14)
E
lla Eyre’s track history shows that she isn’t one to sit and wallow. The singer’s latest offering is no exception, with her optimistic outlook continuing to reign supreme. “I think I’m onto something/’Cause I feel the good times coming,” Eyre loftily proclaims over a soaring drum and bass chorus.
