Taylor Swift gave us another taste of her new album by releasing instant grat track ‘Call It What You Want’.

Speaking about the track, Ariana said “I’m so excited to be sharing this song. The whole thing was written as a burst of energy, capturing that feeling when you’re totally consumed by a new love. Releasing new music and having our immersive live music party light + space all be shared with the world at once is such an amazing way to be capping off the year.”

Bülow – ‘Not A Love Song’
Bülow, aka 17 year old Megan Bülow, is a singer from The Netherlands. ‘Not A Love Song’ is the lead single from her debut EP Damaged Vol. 1. Speaking about the track, she said: “‘Not A Love Song’ is about the excitement of meeting someone for the first time. Initially it feels so new and overwhelmingly good, but eventually I decided I wasn’t ready for that commitment. Or at least that’s what I told myself. You can’t let lust fool you. Be honest with yourself, If it’s not meant to be it’s not meant to be, but doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!”

John Adams – ‘For Me, For Her, For You’
Welsh singer-songwriter returns with his breathtaking fourth single ‘For Me, For Her, For You’, taken from his forthcoming album You Never Know Who’s Listening. Speaking about the track, John said: ”’For Me, For Her, For You’ uses the ideology that you can share your heart with more than one person to save anybody being without. A good friend of mine had fallen in love but someone else he cared for has also fallen for him, I could see the agony he was going through not wanting to hurt anybody’s feelings and he told me I wish I could split my heart in three.”

:PM – ‘Goodbye’
‘Goodbye’ is the new track from Yorkshire band :PM, which acts as a B-Side release to their debut single ‘Grown Ups. Whilst the track isn’t an official single, the band were keen to treat their fans to more new music to round off 2017. Speaking about ‘Goodbye’, :PM said: “After the incredible response to our first single ‘Grown Ups’, we thought it would only be right to give everybody who’s supported us some new music! We thought ‘Goodbye’ was the perfect B-side to ‘Grown Ups’ as it shows the other side of being young – love and all that comes with it. The track and the video both create a nostalgia for us as a band that we wanted to share with everyone. We hope everyone gets the same feeling that we do when they hear it”.
