Hot Tracks
US rock band The Killers does the most un-Christmas-sounding song for their festive single.
THE KILLERS FEAT. RYAN PARDEY & RICHARD DREYFUSS - DIRT SLEDDING
Trust US rock band The Killers to come up with the most un-Christmas-sounding song for their festive single. But with previous track titles like Don't Shoot Me Santa from 2007, you can tell they're really having fun making these.
Besides rockabilly rhythms, big guitar hooks and sleigh bells, this song also packs lots of humorous lyrics.
Proceeds from the single will go to Aids charities through Product Red.
JOHN LEGEND - UNDER THE STARS
The US crooner is actually singing with stars on this single. You know, the ones in the sky.
Blending the recordings of vibrations of stars with lush piano melodies and Legend's soulful voice, Under The Stars is a very romantic festive tune. Written for the Stella Artois Give Beautifully holiday campaign (stella means "star" in Latin), it's the opposite of a boozy beer song, understated and soothing.
FLO RIDA FEAT. SAM MARTIN - DIRTY MIND
US rapper Flo Rida has another catchy hit. So many party songs sound alike, but this one is really original.
Blending urban hip-hop with some Daft Punk-style electronica, Dirty Mind is a sharp tune that's all ready for dancing.
The chorus lyrics and cheeky single cover leave no doubt as to what the track is about.
