Single Review: 'I Will Never Let You Down' by Rita Ora

In the lead up to summer we all want inspiration to go and get that summer body and make sure we’re ready for that one day of sunshine in Britain and Rita Ora delivers with this track.

Perfect for either lounging round in the sun or dancing with your friends; this summery hit is incredibly catchy with phrases like ‘when you say you’ve had enough / and you might just give it up / oh, oh’ it’s hard not to sing along even after you’ve heard it once. Following Rita’s huge success with ‘How We Do (Party)’ in 2012 ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ gives us the same kind of preppy vibe.



The main point of the song is defiantly a positive message about loyalty but with a pop beat, created by Calvin Harris, behind it. The perfect pairing was defiantly made for this song, Calvin Harris and Rita Ora create a possible big hit for summer and for clubs.

Single review: 'Abyssinia' by Screaming Maldini

Following on from ‘Soweto’ and ‘Bearings’, ‘Abyssinia’ is the third release from Screaming Maldini’s yearlong #monthlymaldiniXII project, which will see the band release a new song every month.

The song itself is much darker than the previous two releases. The dance-pop beat of ‘Soweto’ and sunny timbres from ‘Bearings’ have been replaced by a more sombre, stripped back arrangement – culminating in a brooding climax of trumpets where lead singer Gina cries “Are we there?” Although not exactly infectious pop music, the song still makes compelling listening through its emotive nature.

Even if it’s just through their slightly quirky instrumentation, Screaming Maldini always manage to make their music interesting and this is no exception.
