Ones to watch: One Direction – One Thing

There’s been written a lot about Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, or better known as One Direction. It seems ages away since they became 3rd in the talent show ‘X Factor’ and since leaving the show back in 2010, their career has gone upwards.

Three top 10 UK singles and a very successful album already under their belt, the boy band are ready to officially release the 3rd cut from ‘Up All Night’, called ‘One Thing’.

And aren’t we lucky, the boys are taking us on tour through London on a red vintage bus. ‘One Thing’ is for us, the best of singles the boys have released so far. Their previous single ‘Gotta Be You’, good for a 3rd place in the UK Charts, sounded too adult and too serious for a couple of lads, who should be having the time of their life instead of trying to sound like heartbroken adult men.  While ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ was catchy, it did feel as if they could do better. ‘One Thing’ however shows us for the very first time, the true potential these guys have and by now we absolutely adore the One Direction boys. It’s catchy, an easy to sing along chorus which easily gets stuck in your head, hand clapping and sweet, sweet lyrics that will make any fan melt away and wish these five were singing about them.

The video accompanies the song really well, as it comes across as homage to all their passionate fans of the guys. It also shows how passionate they are about their fans, and it makes the video just that bit more special. They are extremely popular and with their eyes set on America, they are surely to become the next big thing globally.

One Thing is released 12th February in the UK. Click here to buy your copy from iTunes http://bit.ly/yu31vy

Ones to Watch; Azealia Banks, Kelly Clarkson & Rebecca Ferguson

Hope you are all enjoying your saturday. Saturday is party night so I’ve been desperately wanting to post these songs to you all. Not a new release but this young lady, has not quite hit the fame yet as I was hoping she would. We’re talking about Azealia Banks.

This young lady is an American rapper, singer and lyricist from Harlem, New York has recently been signed to Universal Records. Just before she got signed she  released this great Dance tune ’212′ featuring Lazy Jay, and boy, this is so great. Was released on 6th December but didn’t get quite as far then a 75th place in the UK Singles Chart (Boohw!) It really is an amazing tune, so check it out because this is awesome to get you ready for a good Saturday night out.

’212′ might not have had the success it deserved, but the potential to be a massive star is there, as she ended up 3rd in the BBC Sound of 2012 list. So watch this space for more Azealia.


From Azealia to former Idols winner Kelly Clarkson, who’s back in the business. Quite a while ago, Kelly’s management announced the  release of ‘Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)’. Well good news for the dance fans because the 7th Heaven team have been granted permission to rework, the popsong in a fantastic club-tune. I can’t sit still on this one, it is so good. 7th Heaven knows exactly what they need to do to transform great popsong in absolute dance bangers! Listen to it below.  The release of the EP with mixes is expected for February. The original version of ‘Stronger’ can be downloaded via Itunes already.

And last but not least, it’s our very own Rebecca Ferguson who announced a few weeks ago that ‘Too Good to loose’ would be the second cut from her debut album ‘Heaven’. We all remember how Rebecca Ferguson rocked the stage during the X Factor 2010 edition doing the Dance anthems. ‘Too Good To Loose’ is probably the only song on her album that comes close to that genre and has now been remixed by Seamus Haji. We Love the original and this version. Absolutely breathtaking! The release date for ‘Too Good to Loose’ is expected somewhere in March. Definately go and buy it!

Get the weekend started!!
