2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) by #Lizzo
Easily the stand out track from Lizzo’s otherwise pedestrian new album, 2 Be Loved is a high energy, dance-disco track in the mould of motivational beats for fitness fanatics of the 80s. More like this, please.

@PROSTRATIONSJIM@thisiswargasmuk On Spotify, yes, to discern them from the other Wargasm. But in any reputable music magazine (NME, Kerrang etc) they drop the UK. It makes for much nicer writing.
Fukstar by #Wargasm
Energetic metal-dance in the mould of The Prodigy as @thisiswargasmuk passionately scream their “disillusionment with the nature of the corporate billionaires”. Fist-clenching, head-banging brilliance.
Change The Locks by #KingPrincess
@KingPrincess69’s 2022 output has been hugely impressive in the build up to her album out at the end of the month. Change The Locks is an emotional, intelligent and contemplative break-up song with a country twang.
Immature by #FLO@FLOCRAVE’s Renée, Jorja and Stella serve nostalgic early noughties R&B with this smooth and sexy track that comes to life thanks to the trio’s immaculate harmonies.
Nobody Really Cares by #BabyQueen
Ok, this is basically a stan account for @babyqueen at this stage but who can blame me when the queen consistently releases such effortless pop bangers? Confident, charming and, of course, catchy.
Missing You by #SGLewis
The latest from @SGLewis_ is a shimmering 80s synth party track that is impossible not to groove to, unashamedly tapping into the popularity of The Weeknd’s recent oeuvre.
Maybe It’s My Fault by #Willow@OfficialWillow’s credentials as a powerhouse rock vocalist are further strengthened with this grungey track. Impressive screaming on the metal-inspired outro too.
Cracker Island by #Gorillaz & #Thundercat@gorillaz enlist the help of @Thundercat to add some dramatic falsetto vocals and an elastic bassline on this bopping track about a mad island governed by a cult who auto tune the truth. Also known as the United Kingdom.
Break My Soul by #Beyonce
Everyone else is doing 80s, so Queen B goes pure 90s club classic. Only an artist as talented and iconic as @Beyonce could take one of the most sampled hooks of all time (Robin S’s Show Me Love) and turn it into something that feels fresh in 2022.
