Pop Goes The World: Say Hello To John Newman, Claire, Janet Leon, The Preatures & Jenny Langlo
John Newman, “Love Me Again”
John Newman is best known for featuring on two excellent singles from drum-and-bass quartet Rudimental, but on the other side of the pond, the Brit is launching as a solo artist in his own right, and his first single “Love Me Again” is a pretty striking debut. First off, it’s an instantaneous pop-soul smash with a huge singalong chorus that sounds like an iPod commercial (in a good way) — but the real star is his voice, unusual and tangy and hyper-listenable. It just works.
