Leona Lewis Feat. Childish Gambino - Trouble

Perhaps The X-Factor's most successful winner since triumphing way back in 2006, Leona Lewis has gone on to sell millions of records around the world, largely thanks to her multi-million selling breakthrough single "Bleeding Love". Leona is now preparing to release the second single "Trouble" to be taken her third LP "Glass Heart" after the Avicii collaboration "Collide" hit No. 4 in September last year. Featuring a highly effective turn from US rapper Childish Gambino (AKA Donald Glover), the Emeli Sandé penned and Naughty Boy/Fraser T Smith produced track takes influence from 90s trip-hop and effortlessly fuses Massive Attack-esque beats with Lewis' stirring and powerful vocals to create something that is perhaps a step in the right direction for her. Enjoy!

Mika Feat. Pharrell Williams - Celebrate (Produced by Nick Littlemore of PNAU/Empire Of The Sun)

Multi-talented and multi-lingual Michael Holbrook Penniman, Jr. AKA Mika has just released the video to his new single "Celebrate" featuring Pharrell Williams of N*E*R*D* and Neptunes fame. The track, the first English single to be taken from his forthcoming third album "The Origin of Love" (the first being the French-only release of "Elle Me Dit"), is a hugely upbeat, bouncy and retro-tinged dance-pop number with elements harking back to Discovery-era Daft Punk thanks to the brilliant production from PNAU and Empire Of The Sun member Nick Littlemore, fresh from his work on Usher's album "Looking 4 Myself" and his remix work of Elton John's back catalogue. This is a great slice of happy pop music that will no doubt make you smile - and perhaps sing along too!
