Our top ten tunes of the week – April 23

These are the ten songs that have been getting us going over the past seven days:

1. Jim Bob – 2020 WTF!

Of this 26-second-long single, Jim Bob says, “I’d always planned on releasing 2020 WTF! as a single around about now. Little did I know how lacking of a third verse it might end up sounding. How elephanty in the room it is. But the sentiment in the song remains the same. Uplifting and moving songs at difficult times are great. ‘Imagine’ and ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ do their trick just fine. But sometimes what you need is 26 seconds of punk rock discombobulation and despair to scream at the wall.”

2. Kira Puru – Idiot

“Idiot is about being powerless in your attachment to someone, indulging compulsive and destructive habits, feeling frustrated. It’s about being in love even when you don’t want to be,” says Kira of the track.

3. The Used – Cathedral Bell

Ahead of this week’s release of their eighth studio album, the rock icons have dropped a new single.

4. Charlie Cunningham – Glass

This new single is taken from Charlie’s new EP, Pieces, which is out in the middle of May.

6. Tony Njoku – 100% 4 Beauty

7. Papaya Tree – Out In The Wash
