"Listen to our ten favourite new releases below, including Alphabeat, Gossip, BoB and The Temper Trap.  Alphabeat: &amp;#039;Vacation&amp;#039; (out now) We didn&amp;#039;t realise quite how much we missed Alphabeat until they recently sent an email prompting us of their return. New track &amp;#039;Vacation&amp;#039; marks a return to the summery &amp;#039;80s beats and playful hooks heard on their early cuts &amp;#039;Fascination&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Boyfriend&amp;#039;. Consider us properly excited for album number three later this year. RC       Gossip: &amp;#039;Perfect World&amp;#039; (out now) We weren&amp;#039;t even aware Gossip were recording new material, which makes this surprise release all the more brilliant. Helmed by pop production factory Xenomania (Girls Aloud), the track treads a perfect balance between catchy hooks and gritty guitar beats. Fingers crossed the rest of the album appears out of the blue soon. RC  B. Traits: &amp;#039;Fever&amp;#039; (released March 25) Canadian country girl Brianna Price, aka B. Traits, has defied all expectations and become one of the most popular DJs across the globe. Currently hosting Radio 1&amp;#039;s monthly feature &amp;#039;In New DJs We Trust&amp;#039;, the star will release her debut single &amp;#039;Fever&amp;#039; in March 25. The mix is a adrenaline-inducing club serenade of old-school rave and &amp;#039;90s house beats. LC      Britt Love: &amp;#039;Playing The Game&amp;#039; (release date TBC) Singer Britt Love - once a part of pop duo Mini Viva (remember &amp;#039;Left My Heart in Tokyo&amp;#039;?) - has been steadily building up to her solo career by releasing a number of demos online. Her latest clip is a snippet of new song &amp;#039;Playing The Game&amp;#039;, and picks up where her former band left off: ballsy neon pop with a wildly addictive chorus. RC      BoB: &amp;#039;So Good&amp;#039; (released April 16) Since his initial success in the UK with two number one singles in 2010, US rapper BoB hasn&amp;#039;t managed to maintain the same level of chart dominance in Blighty as he has in America. Hoping to reignite the British public&amp;#039;s interest in him, the star will release mid-tempo jam &amp;#039;So Good&amp;#039; as the third single from his forthcoming album Strange Clouds. LC      Rye Rye: &amp;#039;Boom Boom&amp;#039; (release date TBC) For those not yet aware of US singer and rapper Ryeisha &amp;#039;Rye Rye&amp;#039; Berrain, she&amp;#039;s signed to MIA&amp;#039;s record label N.E.E.T and sounds a cross between the woman herself and Swedish pop stalwart Robyn. The trailer for her debut album Go! Pop! Bang! might mix vintage arcade noises with the Vegaboys &amp;#039;99 classic &amp;#039;Boom Boom Boom&amp;#039;, but the result is surprisingly fresh. RC      Cover Drive: &amp;#039;Sparks&amp;#039; (released April 22) We&amp;#039;ll admit that we were unsure of Cover Drive&amp;#039;s first two releases, but their latest cut sounds like a surefire hit. Yes, the clumsy verses aren&amp;#039;t up to much, but the piano-lead chorus and familiar-sounding middle 8 are glorious. Their debut album Bajan Style follows on April 30. RC      Ria Richie: &amp;#039;Only One&amp;#039; (release date TBC) Soul songstress Ria Ritchie bagged herself a record deal after being spotted by Plan B on YouTube. Championed by fellow UK hip-hop scenesters Dappy and Tinchy Stryder, Ritchie has worked with Craze &amp;amp; Hoax (Emeli Sand\u00C3\u00A9, Dot Rotten) for her new single &amp;#039;Only One&amp;#039;. The cut is a stirring mix of fleeting strings and moody beats. LC      The Temper Trap: &amp;#039;Rabbit Hole&amp;#039; (out now) Australian five-piece The Temper Trap will return later this year with their second studio album. &amp;#039;Rabbit Hole&amp;#039;, the first track to be unveiled from the set, starts as a light mix of acoustic strums and sparse beats before bursting into a finale of charged electric guitar and heart-pounding drums. LC      Neon Hitch: &amp;#039;F**k U Betta&amp;#039; After gaining herself mainstream exposure as part of Gym Class Heroes&amp;#039; latest single &amp;#039;Ass Back Home&amp;#039;, British indie-popstar Neon Hitch will release &amp;#039;F**k U Betta&amp;#039; as her first cut. The upbeat composition is a quirky mix of squiffy vocal effects, pulsing club beats and plenty of bad language. LC      Which are your favourite tracks on this week&amp;#039;s playlist?
