New Releases Week Beginning 15th February

After having a week off I am returning to look at this weeks new releases. On the singles front we have the annoying twins Jedward with their debut collaboration and also a highly anticipated return for The Courteeners. Albums wise, Ocean City releases his debut album and Glee is released to the public.

Singles

Jedward feat Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice Baby

The less said about this the better. Annoying song in the first place made even worse by these 2 Irish twins from X Factor. Hopefully Jedward follow in the footsteps of Aqua, The Fast Food Rockers and Chico after their 15 minutes of fame into music oblivion. For those mad enough to like this the video is below:



The Courteeners- You Overdid It Doll

I have to admit that I wasn't the greatest fan of The Courteeners first album but this first release off their second album 'Falcon' is superb. With a steady beat throughout to tap to you are guaranteed to have this song in your head. It is a song you would think someone more like The Killers to make, but it is certainly different to anything out there. It has converted me, wish I had bought a ticket for their upcoming gig and I eagerly anticipate the release of 'Falcon'.




Albums

Owl City- Ocean Eyes

After having a listen to this you get the feeling Owl City might be a one hit wonder. Every song does sound the same and his voice gets on your nerves quite quickly. ' Vanilla Twilight' is a nice enough ballad towards the end of the album, but for me personally the album isn't a great listen.



Glee: Series 1- The Soundtrack

I personally haven't seen Glee but people do talk about it ALL the time it seems and the songs have been in the singles charts. This album is a collection of songs from Series 1. It includes It's My Life and smash hit ' Don't Stop Believing'. For any Glee fan it is a must have but for me personally I will not be listening again.
