Song of the Day | "Lorde - Tennis Court"

What is it about the younger generations that make them so geared towards success?
Lorde - born Yelich-O'Connor - is only 16 but her talent was first spotted when she was just 12 years old and singing in a talent show. Since then she's had a number 1 in her homeland of New Zealand has even had to step in for Frank Ocean at an Australian music festival.

"Tennis Court" really shows off this young woman's incredible style and talent and the retro-inspired, ethereal electro/alt-pop sound that's incredibly popular right now with the likes of MS MR, MO and London Grammar.

Lorde's debut release "Pure Heroine" is out on the 30th of September.

THUMPERS - UNKINDER (A TOUGHER LOVE) - Song Of The Day

Enjoy a lazy, sunny Sunday and stick on Thumpers' latest single from their forthcoming June release, "Unkinder EP".

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years (Song of the Day)

London-based three piece London Grammar have knocked it out of the park once again with their follow up to Hey Now and Metal & Dust. Wasting My Young Years is another beautifully melancholic track with astonishing vocals and perfect for a summer sunset. Gorgeous.

TELEVISOR - Starlight (Song of the Day)

With spring finally taking a hold on the weather, causing temperatures to rise and the sun to - at long last - make an appearance, now seems as good a time as any to break out the feel good, turn-it-up summer-sounding, electronic dance tunes.

Sons of Amsterdam, Televisor's release"Starlight" is ridiculously infectious and is guaranteed to make you want to smile and maybe bust a questionable move or two. If you're into the likes of Daft Punk and Madeon, this is definitely one for you and is available to buy now through Monstercat records.

MOPP - Dream About You (Song of the Day)

SONG OF THE DAY

DREAM ABOUT YOU - MOPP

I will concede that this song has been out for about a year now but it's an absolute beauty. MOPP are a Scottish electronic, pop-rock group who have been pootling along for a while now, releasing Dream About You in October of last year. They recently got onto the BBC Radio 1 'Introducing' list at the start of the year and had their track 'A Day Needs More Love' played out on the station, as well as having the opportunity to play at this year's Big Weekend in Carlisle on the Outdoor Stage. With this boost from the BBC, who are often brilliant at giving a stepping stone to newer artists, these talented Scots will go far. If not, it'll be an absolute shame.
