Our top ten tunes of the week – Sept 20
Here are the songs that have been lighting our fireworks over the past few days:
1. Emma Louise – Just The Way I Am
This is from the new album, Lilac Everything; A Project by Emma Louise. She tells us, “Just The Way I Am is my favourite song from the album, and it means the most to me. I wrote it after having a falling out with a friend and I came to realise how special it is to have people in your life who love absolutely everything about you.”
2. Gorillaz – Tranz
This eye-popping film sees Gorillaz vocalist 2D command the stage against a backdrop of mind-altering visuals alongside bandmates Noodle and Russel Hobbs, with Gangreen Gang’s Ace on bass standing in for the temporarily incarcerated Murdoc Niccals.
3. Body Type – Palms
A song of chance, luck and fate, the track toes the line between unadulterated dream pop and rumbling, raw garage instrumentation.
4. Jess Kent – Girl
“I wrote “Girl” when I was feeling the pressure from society to ‘fit in’ and give in to a certain stereotype to be the girl people expect me to be,” says Jess Kent.
5. Ferris & Sylvester – Sometimes
This clip was brought to life by creative director Neil Pymer (Aardman Studios) and Shiny Eye Studios.
6. Atalein – Autumn / Winter

7. Jerry Paper – My God
