My oh my, it has been a long time since I’ve permitted myself to listen to the great new music coming through my Inbox and share it with you.
The thing is, new music can give us the injection of the unfamiliar that we need to refresh, make new things, have different thoughts and do good work.
Here is the first list for 2018. Enjoy, and please let me know if particular songs change your life. New music discoveries can be magical and talking about music is probably my life’s work. Actually, it’s everything.

Spotlight on: Lily Allen
Lily Allen’s new album, No Shame, is due out in early Winter 2018. The video for Trigger Bang was directed by frequent Giggs collaborator Myles Whittingham and set in London.
Trigger Bang was produced by Fryars, who has worked with Lily as a songwriter and producer for the past three years and is the first track from her fourth album, No Shame.
“That’s why I can’t hang with the cool gang, everyone’s a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang” – Lily Allen
