Six60

Six60

On the back of their People's Choice Award at last month's Vodafone Music Awards, Six60 have released another track from their second album (an album which, confusingly, is self-titled just like the debut).

Stay Together boasts a catchy singalong tune pushed along by old-time ivory-tinkling and warm vocal harmonies, and while it's not as infectious as earlier release White Lines, it's also nowhere near as annoying as whistlehappy lead single Special.

As world leaders gather in Paris to face the challenges of climate change, Australian action group 1 Million Women has released a version of John Farnham's You're the Voice - with particular emphasis on the lyrics "we're not going to sit in silence, we're not going to live with fear".

People are encouraged to show support by singing a verse or taking a picture holding a sign saying #IMTHEVOICE and uploading it to social media.

Organisers say "There's never been a more important time for women to be prominent in climate solutions and for us all to join together as one voice".

Revisit a classic
The Beatles may be back in the album charts with 1, but 14 years ago another group of 60s Northerners knocked that same album off the top of the New Zealand chart with their own greatest hits compilation.

The Hollies are considered by some one of music's most underrated acts, though unlike some of their contemporaries, they are still going.

There are seemingly dozens of Hollies compilation albums you can check out, bringing together tracks ranging from the 60s pop of Just One Look, Here I Go Again and Stop Stop Stop to the 70s soft rock of The Air That I Breathe and the Creedence-like Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.

And while for many, a favourite would be 1969's He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, it's hard to go past the the joy and energy of earlier classics I'm Alive and I Can't Let Go.
