Five songs to hear this week (June 17-23)

If you’re keeping up with Euro 2016, you’ll have heard Izzy Bizu a few times, performing her take on Edith Piaf’s La Foule as the BBC’s theme tune. Her sweet voice suits all the accordions, and the song can be heard in full on YouTube.

See if you recognise Kaiser Chiefs on their new single, Parachute. Produced by Brian Higgins of Xenomania, who brought us Girls Aloud, it’s an emotional synthpop number that leaves indie rock far behind.

Neil Young’s Earth album, out later this month, is a new live recording made with his current band, Promise of the Real, featuring environmental songs from across his long career mixed with animal noises. If that intrigues, his recent song Monsanto Years, about GM food, is online now.

Best band name of the year so far goes to Norwich teenagers Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingsworth, who today release their debut album as Let’s Eat Grandma. The strange xylophone pop of I, Gemini, including the new single Eat Shiitake Mushrooms, is online now.

Not long after Bob Geldof’s son-in-law, Thomas Cohen, released a solo album, his daughter Pixie Geldof launches her music career with two atmospheric, haunting new songs. So Strong and Escape Route are both streaming on YouTube now.
