Their break-through release Chocolate was one of the most resolute successes for an up and coming British guitar act in recent years (15 weeks in the Top 40 and counting…) and Manchester outfit The 1975 are certainly wasting no time in following it up with bold new single The City on May 20th.
Already courting airplay from the likes of Radio 1, the new single chimes neatly with their current sold-out tour of the UK, following a run of support shows with Two Door Cinema Club across Europe.
With their debut album due out in September, we caught up with the band to discover what tracks keep them fired up when out on the road - listen in to their choices below:
Born in Australia, currently living in America, Betty Who is in many ways the quintessential modern popstar on the up. Blending irresistible hooks with a distinct sense of indie cool, she cites influences including Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell and Kylie.
With her new EP The Movement already courting rave reviews from the likes of Popjustice, Sugarscape and Billboard, we caught up with the singer to quiz her on a few of her favourite songs - listen in to her choices in the station below.
