Singles // Jack Penate // No-one Lied.
Jack Penate releases are always a joy to uncover and this week’s stripped-down and tender track was a long time coming. It is also completely different to anything we’ve ever heard from the London indie-pop scamp as he wore his heart on his sleeve and, in one take, produced this stunning piece of sentimental charm.

Could this be the worst song ever written? Now or Never // Jodie Connor ft Wiley
By all means this is not some attack on the mainstream pop industry. Heck, I shouted out at a party recently that we'll look back at Rhianna & Calvin Harris' 'We Found Love' as the soundtrack to our youth! (And I was serious.) But honestly, this vague techno-beat (man, the wonders of GarageBand huh?) surrounding a mediocre singer with an attractive-yet-youthful look (yes, I like my 17 year olds filmed with numerous camera shots zooming up and down their bodies, just like the watchful eye of a PE teacher on the brink of loosing his job...), that becomes interjected with some new rap sensation (around the bridge, y'know the bit you can turn down when you order your double cheeseburger meal at the drive-thru) phase is clearly getting out of control.
