Each week, The Courier’s Music Editors are working with Newcastle Student Radio to bring you the best new tracks from the week before...
‘All Or Nothing Love’
Clare Maguire
Clare Maguire’s new track is a mellow offering that is oh so smooth. It’s another step in the right direction for Maguire who has successfully fought off alcohol in recent years.
-Toby Bryant, The Courier
‘Every Time I Hear This Song’
Brandi Carlile
This is a sultry country-esque track with some gorgeous harmonies. I’ve never heard this artists before but with a Joni Mitchell style of singing and lyric construction, I was smitten instantly
-Ally Wilson, The Courier
‘Nameless, Faceless’
Courtney Barnett
Fresh from her collabaration with Kurt Vile, Barnett proves she has no shortage of musical ideas with this brilliant, grungy new single from her upcoming album.
-Charlie Isaac, The Courier
‘The Tide’
Pale Waves
After finding themselves in our Sounds of 2018 feature, Pale Waves dropped their new EP All The Thing I Never Said. Although a tad late, ‘New Year’s Eve’ is a gloriously fun track that I shall definitely be playing at the end of this year’s countdown.
-Meg Smith, NSR
‘Wild Love’
James Bay
This first track to be released from James Bay’s upcoming second album is filled with moody synths and an electronic sound - strikingly different to the folk-rock guitar vibes of before.
-Amy Woods, NSR
