Friday's Featured (Songs of the Week 10th September)

Ed Sheeran - Shivers

After an impressive return to form with the 10-week chart topping Bad Habits in support of his upcoming album =, global superstar Ed Sheeran has overwhelming pressure to ensure his follow up single is a hit. Shivers is the perfect successor to Bad Habits, it encapsulates the singer-songwriter's ability to make infectious hits and a love song that isn't overbearing. Shivers keeps the continuity of = with its electric pop feel and smooth vocal melodies. Expect the chorus to be floating in your head for the next week.

G-Eazy - The Announcement

Californian rapper G-Eazy has made his return known with the release of The Announcement. In conjunction with news of a brand new album These Things Happen Too being unveiled, the 32-year-old star also put out the explosive track, The Announcement. Portraying G-Eazy's rock and roll lifestyle, the intricately written hit fires on all cylinders. The transition of G-Eazy's musical maturity from his infancy in 2012 to the present is discussed in the song's lyrics and is also reflected in how well the song is constructed. Turn your headphones all the way up and enjoy the dynamic track, especially the blast of the sub bass.

Bru-C - Mesmerised

Nottingham's most exciting prospect, Bru-C joins up with Shapes to create an absolute banger, Mesmerised. Bru-C takes a more laid back, vocal laden style over a pulsating drum and bass beat. The combination makes for an effective pairing and is a guarantee on any party playlist. Mesmerised is another prime example of Bru-C's diversity and perpetually evolving musicianship.
