Tove Styrke | Call My Name

Following the moody, chic High & Low from earlier on in the year, Swedish Idol 2009 finalist Tove Styrke is taking another stab at UK chart success with Call My Name. Think Robyn's pulsating beats making friends with Sky Ferreira's effervescent charm. The best bits are the echo segments, and there's something strangely reminiscent of Seven Wonders by Fleetwood Mac in the electronic bleeps and bloops of the chorus. Frolicking on with the 80s feel, I'll be two steps over the water is a cheeky reference to Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush. There's no video as yet, but you can satisfy your ears at least:

Keane | Better Than This

If you can get past the obvious intro rip-off of David Bowie's Ashes To Ashes rip-off and put it down to 80s homage, you'll realise frontman Tom Chaplin is, as ever, singing to himself and not the audience. A technique somewhat unique to Keane, it is rather off-putting to hear someone singing to you the line: 'You can do so much better than this'. If I can, then Keane certainly can do too. Examples can be found on their 3rd album, Perfect Symmetry, for instance. 3/5.
