New releases round-up - 4th July 2011

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass



It feels like this track has been banging around for ages, but it never gets old - one of the best track's from Minaj's inspired Pink Friday, it's great to see this track getting the mass radio airplay it deserves. Frothy, fizzy milkshake pop with a good dash of Nicki's trademark raps, we also have this track to thank for Selena Gomez's immeasurably cute cover version of it.

Loick Essien - How We Roll



As I write this, How We Roll has already surged up into the UK Top 10 - and it sounds like a Top 10 record for sure. There's something about its transatlantic gloss that suggest some big US star crossing over into the UK market, but Essien in fact hails from these shores; previously collaborating with artists like Chipmink and N-Dubz. His debut album Identity is released later this year.

Guillemots - I Must Be A Lover



A strong return for the Guillemots after Fyfe Dangerfield's advert soundtracking solo record. Channeling that rich, baroque quality the band have always done so well, when it comes to a lush, involving tale of devotion, you don't get much better than this.

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain



What could be more a summation of heartbreak and tears in your eyes at a ruined relationship than Adele's Someone Like You? Perhaps her new single Set Fire To The Rain. If anything, he latest track is even more packed with anguish and raw emotion. More upbeat, more passionate, and packing a catchy little piano hook; this has always been one of my favourites from her mind-bogglingly successful 21 album.
