I must admit, I’ve been a little bemused at the hype about Daniel Merriweather. I was impressed at the level of success he’s achieved abroad, but also a little puzzled by it. The snippets I’d heard just seemed a little middle-of-the-road and uninspired. But then this morning I heard his new single “Red” and I understood. That’s why he’s generating such sales and buzz. This is one of the most genuine and soulful tracks I’ve heard in some time. I was wrong Daniel, and I say I’m wrong. This is brilliant.

Guy Sebastian's Likable New Single
Guy Sebastian left us pining when he packed up his things and headed to the Big Apple. But our patience has been rewarded with “Like It Like That,” the first single and title track from Guy’s fifth album. It’s an addictive slice of sixties-inspired pop, which should have everyone tapping their toes. The single is expected in stores and online on August 21. Until then, we’ll just have to be satisfied with this fun video!
Cassie Davis Does it Again
Perth’s Cassie Davis is back with her brand new single “Do it Again.” It’s another strong rock/dance track, in the same vein as previous singles “Like it Loud” and “Differently,” so if you liked those this will probably be just your cup of chai. I worry that Cassie’s turning into a bit of a one-trick pony, and I’d really like to see a more sensitive side. Yet there’s no denying that she’s very comfortably filling the void the Natalie Bassingthwaighte led Rogue Traders have left in the Aussie music landscape.
