Sound check: Jason Derulo’s new single

Part of the latter’s mammoth 27-track album Nu King—Derulo’s first in nine years—Down is seamlessly groovy and instantly reminiscent of Derulo’s past hits

Worth your time: Yes

It may be a pithy two-minute-10- second track, but Down brings the infallible David Guetta along with Jason Derulo. Part of the latter’s mammoth 27-track album Nu King—Derulo’s first in nine years—Down is seamlessly groovy and instantly reminiscent of Derulo’s past hits. And for that reason, the number, though catchy and worthy of a listen, isn’t likely to be a stand-out track in Derulo’s repertoire. It is likely, however, to be a frequent number at clubs and discotheques this season.

Bad guy by Billie Eilish: 
I like the song’s effortlessness, especially that of the hook line; it’s catchy and addictive.

Lights up by Harry Styles: 
The song’s pre-chorus section has an unpredictable change in the chords. I love that. 

Bailgaadi by Sharma And The Besharams:
The track has a laid-back groove, and the lyrics are fun and quirky.

Shaabaashiyaan from Mission Mangal:  
This song uplifts my spirit. I also love the hook line. 

Tiny bit of sky by Blackstratblues: 
I like how the number opens with Warren [Mendosa’s] baby’s voice, and then creates a chilled-out vibe.
