Here’s the new single from Australian/Swedish sisters Say Lou Lou. Everything We Touch is taken from their forthcoming début album, due out later this year and follows the likes of Better In The Dark, Julian and Maybe You in leading us to believe this could be one of the big Pop albums of the year.
Anthemic and bombastic, as with all of Say Lou Lou’s singles Everything We Touch follows the formula of ethereal, floaty verses and massive sing-a-long choruses. With just the right amount of ScandiPop, layered pulsating synths and rousing, tribal, drums power the track along, giving a platform for the sisters stadium vocals.

Our girl Ronika has finally announced her long long long awaited forthcoming début album. Spoiler alert: it’s awesome. We shouldn’t really say any more at this point, but it’s easily going to be one of the highlights of the year. It’s titled, Selectadisc, after the Notts record shop, and Ron’s giving you lot a taste of what’s to expect in the form of album track Shell Shocked. Check it out.
Shell Shocked is what Ronika does best. A slightly Disco-y blend of Pop and Electro Boogie that’s deceptively complex and insanely catchy. One of the emotional highs of the album, Shell Shocked delivers some spine tingling 80s Power Pop moments amid a sea of thick synth bassed vintage Funk. With the epicness of an 80s movie soundtrack and the street groove of Electro Soul, Shell Shocked is a fine primer for what’s to come. Believe us, this is the year Ron blows up.

Ronika’s Selectadisc is due out 2nd June.
