HEAVY HEARTED
The Jungle Giants| SME

"Heavy Hearted" is a song by Australian indie-pop band The Jungle Giants. It was released on 8 July 2019. It was written & produced by lead vocalist Sam Hale. "Heavy Hearted" has been able to regain adds on radio across Australia, with the airplay increasing on many non- metro stations adding the song to there rotation. "Heavy Hearted" moves from #82 to #54, making a Jump of 28 places on The Hot 100, which makes "Heavy Hearted, This Week's Power Hit..

Fresh from sold out shows in the US, UK and Europe, The Jungle Giants have successfully taken their bright and electronic infused music into a global orbit. With the world finally getting to see what Australian audiences have experienced over the last couple of years, their success is a massive win for local music.

The dynamic four piece will be hitting the road this September and October for a huge run of homecoming shows and to coincide with the announcement they have dropped a new song. ‘Heavy Hearted’ is an experimental moment that uplifts their indie pop/rock sound and introduces a groovy house twist.

It feels like a retrospective pop moment that is somewhere in between The Jungle Giants and PNAU. It’s so fresh and experimental and continues the carefree and party vibes their music has always embodied but with just a new direction.

It’s unsure if the band will continue to head down this path for their next studio album or if this is just a standalone experimentation which pushes the boundaries on the bands artistry. But what is known is that this is one catchy song that will not want to leave your head for hours.

LOVER
Taylor Swift| REP/UMA

"Lover" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her seventh studio album of the same name (2019). Swift wrote and co-produced the song with Jack Antonoff. Republic Records in partnership with Taylor Swift Productions released it as the third single from the album on August 16, 2019. Musically, "Lover" is a country ballad that features a booming snare, slow tempo and guitar-centric sound. Over a retro-styled musical motif, Swift sings lyrics about devotion on the song; which several publications interpreted to be about her partner Joe Alwyn.

"Lover" received acclaim from critics, who praised its nostalgic quality and Swift's songwriting. Swift and Drew Kirsch directed the song's music video featuring dancer Christian Owens as her love interest. Premiering on August 22, 2019, the video featured bright colors and a dollhouse setup, showing the couple fighting and making up. Small Talk" is This Week's Hot Debut entering the Hot 100 at #27.


Taylor Swift wants you to know that she can do anything. Testing the waters with a drum ’n’ bass wobble in 2012’s I Knew You Were Trouble, the singer from Pennsylvania traded in her country beginnings and sneaky clean image for 1980s-inspired synth-pop on 2014’s 1989.

Then there have been the Kendrick Lamar guest verses, public feuds with Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, sexually frustrated contributions to the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, unnecessary rap-offs with Ed Sheeran, and a bizarre fascination with playground rhymes that she sneaks in wherever possible.
In the new dawn of Lover, the soon-to-be 30-year-old continues to keep us guessing with what she’s going to next by … going country again.

Lover is the third single (but fourth release) from her forthcoming album of the same name, and unlike Me!, the album’s first single which – with all respect – sounds like it belongs on a Smurfs soundtrack, Tay Tay has gone serious.
Seriously in love. With sliding guitars and a touch of the Mazzy Stars, Lover dials down the meme-able content that drives songs like Look What You Made Me Do and You Need To Calm Down and, instead, lets down her guard and gets personal.

“This is our place, we make the rules,” she sings with a smile, presumably addressing her beau, the English actor Joe Alwyn, who she has known for “three summers”.
