The Newly Single
Is it Christmas yet? Apparently it isn’t. But don’t you worry, we’re the bearers of great news; there are only 14 more sleeps until Christmas, 14! With this shockingly wonderful news out the way, there’s still some time to panic and grab those Christmas presents for people you probably don’t even like.
Even though the festive day is another two weeks away, the music higher powers have been rather generous in their musical offerings next week, with a plethora of tunes wrapped up neatly and ready for you to listen to until your ears bleed with joy. Shall we get cracking, then?

Another working week is out of the way and we welcomed in the countdown to Christmas in fine fashion at the Whiteboard Project; our calendars were easily ripped open and their tasty contents gone within a matter of seconds.
Yep, Christmas is edging closer and closer and despite the prospect of competing for a cherished Christmas number one later on this month, it hasn’t stopped next week being full of gleaming new singles, ready for your ears to devour.

Good morning one and all, I hope you’re still not reeling in pure shame that you haven’t made the NME cool list this week because, well, we haven’t either. But from what I can gather, not being on a cool list is definitely the way to be considered cool; so don’t go worrying yourselves.
What we can guarantee you though, is a fine list of the sweetest, sincerest and delicious single releases you’ll find from now up until Christmas, when everything will be monitored in fine detail by Overlord Simon Cowell. Bring on the music.

Ah, hey Saturday! How the bloody hell are you? Yes, it’s Saturday and the beginning of sleeping past your usual alarm time and drinking copious amounts of tea (and stronger beverages in the evening, I’m quite sure). On a less fortunate note, Saturday was also the muse that inspired a hugely catchy single by a Danish pop singer in the early 1990s… the less talk about that the better I think. Fancy checking out the best singles to hit the shelves and internet next week? Oh go on then, heads up.
