Dido - White Flag (pictured above)
It's been a long time coming but this is the first single from Dido's eagerly awaited new album - and it's worth the wait.
'White Flag' picks up where the 'No Angel' album left off. The dreamy melody, ethereal keyboards and gentle beats, topped by Dido's haunting vocals, all conspire to create a shimmeringly beautiful pop song that'll be floating around your head for months.
She's not lost her gift for writing a damn good tune, that's for sure.

White Stripes - I Just Dont Know What To Do With Myself
The White Stripes' choice of cover versions have always given other bands cause to rush to their rock encyclopedia in a bid to catch up with the duo's unerring knowledge of music's foundations.
Previous covers have included work from Bob Dylan and Robert Johnson and now it's the turn of revered songwriters Bacharach and David.

Starsailor - Silence Is Easy
The first single to be taken from the forthcoming 'Silence Is Easy' album finds Starsailor working with legendary Wall of Sound (as in the original musical concept, not the record label) producer and musical icon, Phil Spector.

Spiritualised - She Kissed Me (It Felt Like A Hit)
The lead single from 'Amazing Grace', the brilliant new album from Spiritualized, tipped by many to be their greatest yet following 1997's Top 5 'Ladies and Gentlemen...' and 2001's Top 3 'Let It Come Down'.
'She Kissed Me' follows the release of three strictly limited vinyl only releases of album tracks in the run up to the album's release. Recorded in under three weeks at Rockfield Studios with minimal overdubs, 'She Kissed Me' represents Spiritualized at their most exciting, energized, raw and heartfelt.

Iron Maiden - Wildest Dreams
'Wildest Dreams; is the first single to be taken from Ver Maiden's forthcoming 'Dance of Death' set and is a strictly limited release.
A classic slice of Maiden, as relevan to the die-hard fans as it is to the new rock generation, 'Wildest Dreams' is just one more reason why the band have been such a massive influence on the nu-metal scene. All formats feature previously unreleased B-sides whilst the CD formats include a free Iron Maiden poster.

Big Brovaz - Baby Boy
The girls (Cherise , Dion, Nadia) and the boys (Flawless, J-Rock and Randy) that make up the Big Brovaz continue their domination of the UK urban music scene with another chunk of good vibes music.
Kind of a change of pace and with the girls handling lead vocals, 'Baby Boy' finds the Brovaz in full-on ballad mode.

Cooper Temple Clause - Promises Promises
Taken from the forthcoming 'Kick Up A Fire and Let the Flames Break Loose album, 'Promises Promises' more than furthers The Clause's cause, firing as it does on the kind of cylinders that other bands can only ever dream of getting hold of.

Macy Gray - She Ain't Right For You
The follow-up single to 'When I See You', Macy's first from her latest album, 'The Trouble With Being Myself', 'She Ain't Right For You' is another sassy slice of smoky r'n'b from the gravely voiced diva.
Sophisticated and typically well delivered, the wonderfully laidback original also comes with a firing new mix from Erick Sermon (featuring Method Man on guest rap) alongside a cool bonus track and a typically polished video.

Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
First it was Elvis, now it's another hallowed name in the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame that's been given the remix treatment.
Top remixers The Neptunes have given the Rolling Stones legendary 'Sympathy For The Devil' the full works. Coming to a dancefloor/wedding/office party near you soon.

Fun Lovin Criminals - Too Hot
Taken from the forthcoming 'Welcome To Poppys' album, 'Too Late' signals the return of the kings of New York cool.
A typical Criminal record, 'Too Late' mixes Huey's drawling growl with a funky, too-cool-for-school backdrop.

Audio Bullys - Way Too Long
The Bullys follow the recent successes of their 'We Don't Care' and 'The Things/Turned Away'platters with another bludgeoning piece of hooligan house.
'Way Too Long' tells the story of a young man who has a thing or two to learn about business sense and, having failed to get the picture, ends up learning the hard way...

Black Eyed Peas: Justin Timberlake - Where Is The Love
Having been around the block more then a few times, it looks like the Black Eyed Peas are finally going to get the break they so richly deserve.
The 'Where Is The Love' track is just the kind of laidback, hip-hop groove the Peas do so well but what might just tip the balance here is the fact that the song's hook is provided by none other than Justin Timberlake.

Marilyn Manson - This Is The New Shit
Vicious, uncompromising and right down your throat, `This Is The New Shit' is a stand-out electrorock smash.
The single is available in two formats - CD and 10" picture disc, one side of which is a painting by Manson himself.
Both formats feature an amazing mix by UK avante-guardists Goldfrapp (check the ending - pure dirty cabaret genius). The CD also includes the previously unreleased track 'Mind Of A Lunatic' and the video.

Staind - So Far Away
Staind's '14 Shades of Grey' album is one of this year's best-selling sets in the States and the 'So Far Away' track represents the sheer power of the band at work.

Elvis Presley - Rubberneckin
Having had an obscure sixties track given the once-over remix treatment from Junkie XL, The King is once again the subject of a twenty-first century re-rub.
This time the remix remit has fallen to Paul Oakenfold who gives 'Rubberneckin'' a whole new groove.

Justin Timberlake - Senorita
Performed and produced in conjunction with The Neptunes, and featuring Pharell Williams, 'Senorita' is the latest body-poppin' heart-stopper to be taken from Justin Timberlake's all-conquering 'Justified' album.

The Fiery Furnaces - Crystal Clear
A twisted bluesy gem, Chicago's Fiery Furnace release their debut single to an expectant world.
Expect thrumming piano, wolverinish guitar, map-minded lyrics and overall stomping and plunking from the brother-sister duo of Eleanor and Mark.

A - Good Time
Brand new single from the skate-metal punkers that finds A working a more contemplative, thoughtful groove.
