Cate On Cate

1.  Are You With Me Now – Cate Le Bon – Terrific pop song with a 1960s Marianne Faithful flavor and a Florence Welch method but with a sense of restraint. One of the best songs of the year – A

3. Forget You – The Overtones – What they do here is turn a great song into a standard, with FIVE PART HARMONIES – A

4. Look Right Through You –  Storm Queen –  Great house disco track – A-

5. How Ya Doin’ – Little Mix, Missy Elliott – Not crazy about this band but Missy is quite nice – B

6. The Suicide Machine – Liam Gowing – Nice to hear a band writing its hook around the bass, a solid heavy rock band – B+

7. Remix – Mellowhigh, Tyler The Creator – Is this the single? Mixing hash and marijuana and it has the heavy sound of drugginess – A

8. Kissland – The Weeknd – Much better live than on record, live the songs actually move – B

9. When You Sleep – My Bloody Valentine – Gorgeous on record, but live? We will see – A

10. Drink You Away – Justin Timberlake – A deep album track that might be more, a sort of bluesy rockabilly – B+
