treated to a veritable buffet of stunning songs. There are new singles/videos from Morrissey, Dizzee Rascal and The National; Taylor Swift, Royal Blood and Plan B. Franz Ferdinand have released their first new music in years: plenty of other gems from all corners of the music world. The mainstream has come to play and it is a buzzing and packed week of tremendousness. In addition, there are some fascinating movements from the underground; a range of newly-released albums – and those songs that are destined to stay in the head for weeks.
Swift’s song is the biggest of this week, I guess, but there are more high-profile releases than I thought there would be! As we head towards Hallowe’en; it is interesting seeing the music arriving and the consistency of quality – it all bodes well for the first edition of The November Playlist…
