Hailey Rowe
Don't Need Your Approval - Single
H.E.R. Records
Release date: January 24, 2014 (Single) / February 12, 2014 (Music Video)

Sometimes you get good artists who make it big with just their debut single and at other times you find amazing artists who find it a tad bit harder to become a household name or even have their own Wikipedia page. Hailey Rowe, unfortunately, is the latter.

That one track that got me falling in love with 1989 - 'Style' - finally got a very fashionable video that complimented this breezy electronic pop.

What Kind of Man - Single
Island

Everybody's going Sia these days aren't they? Or should I say going Kate Bush? We've seen Years & Years with their abstract 'King' and now Florence & The Machine is here with her equally jarring 'What Kind of Man'.

The Queen of Pop is back to slay you. This time with her cape.

In a much sad note, Beck took home album of the year for Morning Phase, beating out our fav to win, Beyoncé's BEYONCÉ (even Kanye had an outburst about this).
