Little Mix spellbound in Black Magic video

Black Magic is the first single from Little Mix's forthcoming third album , following 2012's DNA and 2013's Salute.

The new single is released July 10th. Watch the video for Black Magic below



Hurts debut Some Kind Of Heaven




Mancunian electronic pop duo Hurts , have unveiled their first new material in over two years with Some Kind Of Heaven. The new track previews their forthcoming third album , due for release later this year.



The track was unveiled via the bands Facebook page. Hurts last studio album was 2013's underwhelming Exiles , which evoked a lukewarm commercial and critical response. This was in stark contrast to the mostly universal acclaim for 2010's stunning debut Happiness.

The album spawned the popular tracks Wonderful Life and Stay. Theo Hutchcraft spoke about the new record from Hurts
"We always try to make an album that covers all points of interest and I think that we're developing. Doing these two records and pushing it to the extreme in a pop sense with a song like 'Stay' and then turning around and doing the opposite, we now know the boundaries in which we exist."

"Considering the types of song we wrote on our second record, we go in the direction of a song like 'The Crow' for instance, which is like a Tarintino-esque mid-Western American sound, or we could go down the route of a song like 'The Road' which is very Nine Inch Nails or we could go the opposite way entirely and make a huge pop record but I guess that it will always fit with us,"

The track is due for release on June 22nd. Watch the video below

Leona confirms new album release date



Leona Lewis has confirmed that her imminent fourth album I Am will be released on September 11th.
It's Lewis' first album under Island Records after parting ways with Simon Cowell's Syco label last year.
The album is preceded by the stunning lead single Fire Under My Feet out June 29th. The new single has had a hugely positive critical and fan response since its premiere last week. Many are already tipping it to be Leona's 4th UK Number 1.



Leona released her last studio album Glassheart in 2012. It spawned the hit song Trouble but was largely a commercial misfire despite the quality of tracks such as the title track which were snubbed for a single release.
A Christmas collection entitled Christmas , With Love came a year later in 2013 , producing instant modern festive classic One More Sleep.

Echo , her second album gave her another Number 1 album in late 2009. Her debut album Spirit, released in 2007 has sold 8 million copies worldwide and remains the biggest selling debut album by  a female solo artist in the UK. It is also the 4th best selling album of the 200o's in the UK. It produced two massive Number 1 singles in Bleeding Love and Run.
