The July Playlist
Vol. 2: Deleted Kisses and the Freakshow
_______
PERHAPS not as crammed with big artists…
IN THIS PHOTO: Ghostpoet
as previous Playlists: this edition does, at least, feature two remarkable songs. Wolf Alice show their new direction with Don’t Delete the Kisses. It shows a more melodic side to the London band – not quite as intense and raw as their 2015 album, My Love Is Cool. A new album is approaching and the band get mouths salivating with a stunning track.
Similarly, Ghostpoet provides us with Freakshow: perhaps, his finest song to date. It follows Immigrant Boogie and is the latest track from his forthcoming album – which is, as-yet, untitled.
Kesha and AlunaGeorge have been busy and rustled pretty incredible songs. If that were not enough; the fabulous Dizzee Rascal unveils Wot U Gonna Do? Let’s hope he is bringing out a new album soon as the music world needs his observational and extraordinary lyrics.

A really great selection of songs this week – good to see Dizzee Rascal progress and promise future-gold! Wolf Alice have got tongues wagging and it seems like things are looking good for Ghostpoet. The rest of music has not been idle. There are plenty of stunning songs about and a whole variety of sounds and genres.
I am excited about the coming weeks and what is approaching. New albums from Lucy Rose and This Is the Kit is out; HAIM’s Something to Tell You is out and gathering rave reviews.
A brilliant week for music: one that suggests July will be a pretty hot one.
