We like the chronologically-topical “January December”, new from Toronto artist TOBi. Pushed forward by clean guitar stabs and a easy-flowing school of Paak main melody, “January December” manages to be as (very) emotionally potent as it is magnetic and instantaneously catchy.

Out January 5 on Splinter is “Patagonia” the new single from Derbyshire circa 1980-wave disco funk merchants Patawawa. “Patagonia” wins on it’s cool blend of modern day nu-disco sonorous-ness and a ostensibly well-studied eye to that aforementioned turn of 1980 era of funky pop (see Morgan, Denroy – “I’ll Do Anything For You”)

Out now on the excellent Portuguese imprint Discotexas is Shapes On Shapes, the debut LP from LA twosome Wild & Free. Built around an atmosphere of (at least imagined for us) of a hazy mid 90’s club where EBTG is about to knock out a set, “Ferns and Stuff” is a strong slice of cinematic disco-tinged pop dropped on to us most fortuitously from a very rad 1997-origin time machine (with really great taste).
and the winner for The Best Kazoo Hook of 2017 goes to….. POWERS for “Georgie”. In addition to the sharp kazoo, “Georgie” the latest from the L.A.-based twosome, is very good slightly house-tinged pop song that you should get into below.
