Must Watch Music Videos

It's not only great music which makes a song but also a music video can help make or break a song.
Here are some of the music videos we currently can't get enough of!

Let us know what you think!

1. Phantoms feat. Vanessa Hudgens - Lay With Me

When it was announced that Phantoms had asked Vanessa Hudgens to sing on their track, fans went crazy. The track is called 'Lay With Me' and the reason we love this video is the way it starts with Vanessa on a stage in what looks like a school production (very High School Musical) until the huge drop in the song and suddenly she is on a huge stage performing at her concert.

We are also excited for future music projects from Phantoms and Vanessa.


2. Little Mix feat. Nicki Minaj - Woman Like Me

Little Mix are preparing to release their 5th studio album and have decided to release 'Woman Like Me' which features American rapper Nicki Minaj.
In the video, the ladies showcase their strong individual talents as well as the power they have as a unit.


The ladies are also going on tour next year so we will be seeing a lot of them next year.


3. HRVY - I Wish You Were Here

If you asked us whether you though HRVY would still be around, we wouldn't be able to answer that 100% but he has proven to everyone that he deserves all the success. He has millions of streams on Spotify and he recently performed at the Radio 1 Teen Awards.

His video for the single 'I Wish You Were Here' sees HRVY in a prison all with a cut to the face.

We hope 2019 will see HRVY release a full album of amazing songs!


4. Cher LLoyd - None Of My Business

We have been waiting a while for Cher LLoyd to make her comeback after having a baby and how the wait has paid off.

The comeback single is called 'None Of My Business' and although the video is very simple, it is perfect for the song!

Could 2019 be the year for fans to finally get a 3rd album from Cher LLoyd?


5. Rak-Su - I Want You To Freak

When the lads from Rak-Su performed on the first live show of The X Factor UK, it was easy to remember why they won the show in 2017 with their amazing original tracks.

The song is an upbeat/pop track with elements of rap. Mikolas entertained the crowds at the Eurovision with his cheeky/fun stage presents and also added dancing with a rucksack to his performance.

He finished in 6th place and has now signed an international record deal with Sony Music and RCA Records. This is just the start for Mikolas Josef.

2. Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone

Over the last few years, Germany hasn't been very successful in the Eurovision Song Contest but that didn't put Michael Schulte off taking part for his country. The singer who has been called "The German Ed Sheeran" is known in Germany after coming 3rd in The Voice of Germany.

After finishing his performance on stage at the Eurovision, the crowd went crazy and excitement grew but was this enough to change Germany's bad fortune?

As the final points were given, it was finally announced that Michael had broke the Eurovision curse and finished in 4th place.

Michael is now preparing for his up coming tour in Germany.

3. Cesar Sampson - Nobody But You

Cesar Sampson is not a stranger to Eurovision. He performed backing vocals for Bulgaria in 2016 (finishing 4th) and in 2017 (finishing 2nd). Before that, Cesar performed vocals on the Austrian version of 'Dancing With The Stars'.

2018 was finally the year for Cesar to take centre stage and and represent Austria with his song 'Nobody But You'. The song showcases Cesar's powerful vocals and impressed in the Jury vote with Austria receiving the majority of the Jury vote.

Cesar ended up finishing 3rd overall which is the 3rd highest placing for an Austria contestant in Eurovision history.

4. Eleni Foureira - Fuego

Eleni Foureira was tipped as the favourite to win the Eurovision this year from the very beginning. The Greek singer was not accepted to represent Greece and chose to represent Cyprus instead.

Eleni performed her song 'Fuego' and finished in 2nd place which is the highest position in Cyprus history at the contest. The song has since made a huge impact on the music charts worldwide and Eleni has signed a deal with Sony Music to continue her music journey after the success of her Eurovision performance.

Billy - California High

Bill Kaulitz (aka BILLY) is known not only as being the lead singer of Tokio Hotel but also for his out-there style. Tokio hotel have recently finished there Dream Machine Tour and now its time for another solo track from BILLY.

'California High' is the new solo single which was released on the 18th May and in our opinion, the best release to date. 

The single is accompanied with another fantastic music video (which looks more like a trailer from a film).

Danny Dearden - Take On The World

Danny Dearden might be known for being a contestant on The X Factor UK but he has already shown the world that he has more to offer than just a reality show performance. He recently teamed up with the songwriting/production group Holografik for his new single 'Take On The World'.

The track really showcases Danny's stunning vocals as well as being a well produced track. It is no surprise that Danny is celebrating that this is his most streamed track to date on Spotify.

It's not only the track that fans can be happy about, a fantastic video for the song was also released shortly after the song being made available.

If you find 'Take On The World' is the kind of track you would add to your playlist, we would also recommend taking a listen to Danny's other single 'Sleeping With The Moon'

The song is a powerful ballad and would be perfect as background music for a TV soap where a character dies or a couple split. The song really plays with your emotions and with Danny's angelic vocals, it's no surprise!

Be sure to also check out the music video:

We think 2018 is going to be a very successful year for Danny Dearden and we hope you will all show your support by following him on his social media, telling everyone about his amazing music and you can download and stream both tracks on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music or by following the links above!

Backstreet Boys - Don't Go Breaking My Heart

It's not often a boyband can boast about having a career spanning over decades but this is one thing the Backstreet Boys can do. Even more exciting is the fact that they have just released their brand new single 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'. Since the release, the song has been climbing the iTunes charts worldwide and it just shows how relevant the group is today as they were back in the 90s.

If it is the dance routines that the fans want, the music video is just what you need!

SuRie - Eurovision, Storm and Tour

SuRie was chosen to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Portugal with her song 'Storm' and what a performance she gave.

Although SuRie finished 24th from 26th, the crowd sang along to her song and so much support came flooding in on social media.

The song 'Storm' has now also entered the UK Top 50 at number 50 and number 13 on the Scottish Top 20.

Demi Lovato Week

Demi Lovato is know for her powerful vocals but it's not only when she releases solo music, she is also in high demand to feature on other people's tracks. This week, Demi will be hoping to enter music charts around the world with two songs which features her vocals!

1. Christina Aguilera feat. Demi Lovato - Fall Into Line

With a comeback from Christina Aguilera, what better way to get the fans excited then a single featuring two strong females. 'Fall Into Line' is taken from Christina's upcoming album 'Liberation' and it is already impacting the iTunes charts worldwide after its first 24 hours of being released.

2. Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato - Solo

It's not only Christina Aguilera who has requested the Demi's voice on their track. Clean Bandit has released their song 'Solo' with the help of Demi. The song is more upbeat compared to 'Fall In Line' and it has that magic that only Clean Bandit can bring to music.

Both tracks are now available to download and stream now!

Kevin Simm - Over and Over Again

He has the voice of an angel and now Kevin Simm is back with a new cover song and this time it is an acoustic version of Nathan Sykes' 'Over and Over Again'.
The great thing about Kevin's version is how he has used an acoustic guitar instead of a piano for his version of the song.

Which version do you prefer?

Kevin's song is now available on iTunes and Spotify now!!

Feuerherz - Feuerherz

We have mentioned German boy band Feuerherz quite a few times on our blog and we think they are the group to start entering international music charts with their German songs.
Just like Luis Fonsi has achieved with his Spanish music, the guys from Feuerherz bring their audiences to their feet with their great tunes.

'Steh Auf und Tanz Mit Mir' (stand up and dance with me) is the new song from Feuerherz which is taken from their up coming 3rd album 'Feuerherz' which will be released on the 25th May. The group have said that they have had more influence on this album especially with writing the new songs.

If there was a good time to learn the German language then now is that time. What more motivation do you need then 4 talented and handsome guys with great music!
