2013 IS LADIES TIME, SONGS WORTH NOTING - PART #3

Part three of our 'Best of 2013' so far - complete with a good fix of the ladies. Check it out.

Did you catch part one and part two?




KATY B 'What Love is Made Of'

London's dubstep (before it was cool) and garage queen Katy B returns this year with fresh material, following the success of her 2011 debut album 'On A Mission.' The lead single, 'What Love is Made Of,' originally surfaced online back in May to pleasing reviews - including ours. 'On A Mission' was (and still is) one of our favourite albums, so we were stoked to find out we'd be getting more Miss B so soon.

'What Love is Made Of' is full of pipin' hot 90s beats that remind us of the work B revealed on her free 'Danger' EP late last year (which you should get your hands on if you haven't done so already). It's a great, solid track with Katy sounding as flawless as she looks in the clip.




DEMI LOVATO 'Heart Attack'

Seizing the spotlight and opportunity on the back of her US X Factor gig, Demi Lovato premiered 'Heart Attack' - a very mature and Kelly Clarkson-esque track that served as the lead single from her (then) upcoming fourth studio album 'Demi.'

The result - a passionate, belter of a gem that sees Lovato at her best. Clearly one of the best tracks the 20 year-old has ever recorded (yup), 'Heart Attack' has the perfect pop song mix - good lyrics, good melody and good vocals. Boom.




SELENA GOMEZ 'Come & Get It'

Whilst it was labelled as a "Rihanna reject" of a song, Selena Gomez's 'Come & Get It' certainly didn't let the label get it down, securing itself as Gomez's best and highest selling US single to date. Co-penned by Ester Dean and produced by Stargate, you can understand where the magic comes from - legends of pop writing and production, the team has delivered the ex-Disney star exactly what she needs.

Flaunting her new-found maturity in both song and video, Gomez looks and sounds brilliant. We love the direction she's heading in and can't wait to hear more from her upcoming album. Yeeeah.




HAIM 'Falling'

Californian sisters HAIM already had us on high alert with their 2012 releases 'Forever' and 'Don't Save Me' - so when 'Falling' premiered it was the like icing on the cake. The track is absolutely captivating, the hooks, the vocals... the works.

The bohemian sounds of the trio have echoed through our halls for most of this year... and have you heard the Duke Dumont remix? Oh my. Debut album due in September, so stay tuned for more.




JENN D 'You Keep Giving Me Love'

Dubbed 'the song Kylie would have recorded if she worked with a French producer,' Jenn D's 'You Keep Giving Me Love' has been an instant hit with pure pop lovers across the globe.

It's cheeky, contains a good dose of 'oh whoa oh ohs' and Miss D rides a merry-go-round in the clip - what more could you want? Instantly likable, if not lovable.
