Kings of Leon – Bucket
After achieveing worldwide acclaim on their debut album. How would they follow up their great album? Well “Bucket” clearly is one of the bands better tracks. It starts off with a howel which you know your in for a treat. The track has a great little riff and it just builds on that trademark Kings of Leon sound. A great step forward now only if the album is this good we will be ok.

The Magic Numbers – Loves A Game
The sisters and brothers are back with a lovely joyful song with a laid back feel, more so than the rest of their singles. He sings of different incidents that happen in love and how he will get over someone. The girls join in the chorus which gives the song more depth. There is also a nice instrumental piece with gentle guitars and keyboards. The song builds up after this and once again goes into the chorus. Very relaxing song overall and very gentle on the ears.

Tom Vek – Nothing But Green Lights
Now this is good stuff. At the beginning it totally unlike anything around at the moment musically. It instantly grabs your attention for originality. Tom also has the originality when it comes to his lyrics in this song, talking about a Mercedes Benz amongst other things and he does it well. He doesn’t really sing as such, more talk which I usually dislike in a song however in this one it works extremely well. This is because the music is soft all the way through and his voice is easily defined. I was a bit disappointed with it at the end though as it sort of fades out before anything really happens. I was expecting a bit more but it kind of goes away into nothingness which is a shame because otherwise I really like it.
