Beat Of My Drum.

If you are a keen follower of Pop music, then this one is for you.
Now don't get me wrong, there is alot of music that is just utter rubbish out there in the Top 40; and personally, the only thing that makes me like a pop song from the beginning is, if it has a catchy beat.

And here is no exception, with the release of Nicola Robert's single 'Beat Of My Drum'; notably, her first solo effort after being apart of the British girl band, Girls Aloud.

If you have a vague idea of who Girls Aloud are, then you might know they are probably one of the most successful girls bands to come out of Britain; well apart from the Spice Girls.
And with over 20 singles reaching the Top 10 in Britain, including four #1's, the singers have established themselves as credible pop stars with actual real, un-autotuned voices.

So, the first time I heard 'Beat of My Drum', there were definately some 'what the hell is this?!' type moments. But after listening to the song a few more times, I cannot get the song out of my head. Even with it being the second song in as many months sampling Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor', the beat differs to that of Beyonce's 'Run The World', which makes the beat a major part of the song.

The chant like chorus of 'L.O.V.E' is the main thing that gets you in this song; but the marching band beat in the bridge is just as amazing.

Cosmo, The new Vogue.

You might have already heard of Cosmo Jarvis from his first single 'Gay Pirates'; a tale of the forbidden love of two men on a pirates ship. The song was in high rotation on Triple J earlier this year, and lyrically, it is a ground breaking song that is a statement to the struggles of homosexuals in society and cultural life.

In Cosmo's newest offering, 'Sure As Hell Not Jesus', he again pushes the boundaries with the lyrical meaning of the song. According to Cosmo, the song is about "sexual abuse scandals that have involved the followers and preachers of the Catholic faith and its leaders' frequent insidious dealings with them". The video pokes fun at priests who seem to get away with their misconduct, and justify their actions "through the use the faith of their victims and victims' families".

Musically, the song is again catchy with its melodies, and Cosmo's voice is a dream to listen to.

For listeners, it hits a nerve; and through humour, it effectively purveys what struggles are felt by victims and their families.

At only 21 years old, I'm excited to see what Cosmo Jarvis can come up with next.

My Head Is A Jungle.

Emma Louise is another new amazing talent on the Australian music scene.
After putting her song 'Jungle' up on Triple J Unearthed, it has garnered generous airplay by the radio station, and has received kudos from Triple J's music director, Richard Kingsmill.

However, this is not the first breakthrough for Emma. Back in 2008, she was awarded the Best Adult Contemporary song in the New Artists to Radio Competition (NA2R).

Emma has now scored a support in sold out Boy & Bear Autumn 2011 national tour, appearing alongside Jinja Safari. The tour is now coming to a close, with one more show in Sydney tonight, and finishing in Emma's hometown, Brisbane, tomorrow night.

Her debut EP 'Full Hearts and Empty Rooms' is also now available to purchase on iTunes and BandCamp.
