Playlist: 10 tracks you need to hear

Mariah Carey: 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)' (release date tbc)
We'll be honest, we're a little disappointed with the lack of Mariah Carey in her new, post-babies single. But while Rick Ross and Meek Mill dominate the verses, Carey pulls it back together with a rather impressive chorus. Fingers crossed there's a sans rap version on the way soon. RC



Bo Bruce: 'Holding The Lights'
As a thank you to her fans for all of their support, The Voice UK finalist Bo Bruce has made an acoustic rendition of 'Holding The Lights' available as a free download. The track is a stripped-back ballad that showcases her unique tone and is probably an indication of what to expect from her new album later this year. LC



Alphabeat: 'Love Sea' (out August 13)
It's not difficult to hear the Kool & The Gang influence that Alphabeat recently told us about when discussing their new album. Like their last track 'Vacation', 'Love Sea' lays it on thick as a colourful, bells-and-whistles slice of unashamed pop. RC



Aaliyah ft. Drake: 'Enough Said' (release date tbc)
There's no denying it's a controversial move from Drake to reproduce vocals from the late R&B star Aaliyah. However, whatever your thoughts may be, the result is a contained, classy and crisp slow jam that reminds us once again the talents Aaliyah offered the world. LC



Moya: 'Making Me Fall' (out September 2)
Brighton singer Moya has seen her star rise exponentially in recent months following a nod from Perez Hilton and a spot on BBC 6 Music. The latest single from her debut LP Lost and Found is a nifty pop-soul number with a wistful melody that builds to a toe-tapping end. RC



Melanie Amaro: 'Don't Fail Me Now' (release date tbc)
With a $5 million recording contract and no dodgy winner's single to endure, it's safe to say that winners of the US X Factor get a much sweeter deal than us Brits. Series one winner Melanie Amaro has returned with a number that feels part Rihanna, part Alexis Jordan, and a finale that belongs only to her. RC



Surrender! ft. Jhameel: 'Hurry' (release date tbc)
Tastemaker fave Surrender! is the latest DJ to make waves on the EDM scene. Hailing from Turkey, the 23-year-old has teamed up with Jhameel for his latest track 'Hurry', which hears pumping dance grooves flanked by foot-stomping beats. LC



Delta Goodrem: 'Dancing With A Broken Heart' (out August 12)
The Voice Aussie judge and popstar Delta Goodrem is hoping to claim further success with her latest cut, which is a heartfelt club serenade. The question is, will it regain her success in the UK? LC



Keyshia Coyle ft. Lil Wayne: 'Enough of No Love' (release date tbc)
Although Keyshia has failed to make an impact in the UK, the R&B star has racked up four Top 10 albums in the US. Her upcoming fifth collection Woman to Woman is expected later this year and is led by the finger-snapping mid-tempo jam 'Enough of No Love'. LC



Parade: 'Light Me Up' (out now)
The group return after a few months in the wilderness determined to make their mark on the charts. 'Light Me Up' - which is available as a free download - serves as a marker for their new sound, and as far as re-boots go, it's one of the most exhilarating we've heard in a while. RC
