This week’s single releases – 14 AprilReviews of all of this week’s top singles from Phil Lickley. The Brand New Heavies feat. N’Dea Davenport – ‘Sunlight’[rating:3.5/5]Very much nailing an audio sandscape of the song’s title, ‘Sunlight’ sounds like the cousin of many a summer chill-out tune matched with Jamiroquai and, at times, the beat from South Park’s chef’s ode to his chocolate baked goods. Singer Davenport captures the mood perfectly too with a smooth, seventies feel.

16 APR Watch: Azealia Banks – ‘Yung Rapunxel’ video Still no word on US rapper Azealia Banks’ highly anticipated and constantly delayed debut album Broke With Expensive Taste, but today we have been treated to a video for her latest release ‘Yung Rapunxel’. The video, which was directed by Jam Sutton, impressively manages to live up to the frightening artwork for the single (above) by featuring a lot of dark and unsettling imagery.

Slightly bonkers Australian electro-pop duo Empire Of The Sun are preparing to release the follow-up to their all-conquering 2009 debut album Walking On A Dream this summer, and have today released the lead single ‘Alive’. Called Ice On The Dune, the new album is set for release in June and judging by ‘Alive’ it won’t be differing too much from their debut.

11 APR Listen: The National – ‘Don’t Swallow The Cap’ The National don’t mess about do they!? They revealed ‘Demons‘ earlier this week as the first track from forthcoming album Trouble Will Find Me, and today we get another new track – ‘Don’t Swallow The Cap’. Like ‘Demons’, ‘Don’t Swallow The Cap’ sticks to The National’s tried and tested formula of tense, brooding production and mournful vocals from Matt Berninger.
