\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Accompanying the release of her groundbreaking new album, Torn<\/em>, pop experimentalist Cobrah releases her final single, \u201cDog\u201d. This is a track riddled with grit and grunge, destined for the flies on Berghain walls. There\u2019s an eerieness echoing throughout the track, adding a tinge of haunt to a track that otherwise details a real and true desire to \u201csettle down with a lover\u201d until death do them part.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nia Smith ft. Destin Conrad \u2013 \u201cTough\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Brixton\u2019s own Nia Smith releases \u201cTough\u201d alongside friend and collaborator, Destin Conrad, on this smooth ballad touching on \u201cmen not needing to be so tough\u201d \u2013 and neither does she. Her alto-rich, old-school tone paired with Destin\u2019s seamless riffs and adlibs makes for a warm hum, enriched with even warmer encouragement. With this soft, soulful track, we should all go a little easier on ourselves.<\/p>\n

Flying Lotus \u2013 \u201cBIG MAMA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

One of the quintessential electronic music auteurs of his era, Flying Lotus is a beatsmith and sonic wizard who needs no introduction. Back now with \u201cBIG MAMA\u201d, a seven-track EP of jaw-dropping technical nuance, released via his own Brainfeeder imprint, the legend shows why he\u2019s one of the best in the game with a medley of sounds, styles and rhythms effortlessly intertwined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Chicago-based artist Gia Margaret releases \u201cGood Friend\u201d, the second single from her upcoming album Singing<\/em>. Recorded with Frou Frou\u2019s Guy Sigsworth, the track features Gregorian chants by IL\u0100 and turntable scratches, bringing playful lightness to an album otherwise shaped by cancelled tours and uncertainty about the future. Written in late 2019, the track captures the joy and support that friends bring during difficult times, while nodding to \u201990s nostalgia.<\/p>\n

Jalen Ngonda \u2013 \u201cDoctrine of Love\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Jalen Ngonda returns with the title track from his upcoming album Doctrine Of Love<\/em>. The single blends finger-snapping rhythms, call-and-response backing vocals, and a gospel-charged crescendo, drawing on classic \u201960s soul while staking out Ngonda\u2019s own modern take. It\u2019s a confident statement from an artist who has gone from intimate club shows to festival main stages and is now stepping fully into his role as one of contemporary soul\u2019s torchbearers.<\/p>\n

Ayra Starr \u2013 \u201cWhere Do We Go\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Afrobeats powerhouse Ayra Starr is unstoppable right now. Every passing single expands her sonic universe with an effortless focus and vivacious vitality. Latest cut, \u201cWhere Do We Go\u201d, leans into an electro-tinged atmosphere and is vocally soaring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wesley Joseph \u2013 \u201cPluto Baby\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

The latest single plucked from his forthcoming debut album, Forever Ends Someday<\/em>, due 10th April via Secretly Canadian, \u201cPluto Baby\u201d is one of the strongest tracks in Wesley Joseph<\/a>\u2019s catalogue so far. As visually striking and idiosyncratic as ever, the sonics are the polymath\u2019s usual merger of immersive and soulful, deeply compelling in concept and creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sofia and the Antoinettes \u2013 \u201cVespa\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Sofia and the Antoinettes\u2019 new release is called \u201cVespa\u201d.

This single showcases Sofia\u2019s strong vocals and storytelling ability, balancing nostalgia, longing, and pop sensibility.<\/p>\n

The Itch \u2013 \u201cDrugdealer\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Stepping into the love song space, Luton\u2019s The Itch gives us a fourth preview into their upcoming debut album with their latest, romance-struck tune \u201cDrugdealer\u201d. Although a pretty unconventional title for a lovey track, it uses subliminal lyrical twists to talk about the tension of caring for someone and sustaining an illusion to keep their happiness, all over glimmering synths and grand stringy sounds.<\/p>\n

Ama ft. Brent Faiyaz \u2013 \u201cNeed It Bad\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

After a midweight hiatus, R&B soulstress and Wonderland Autumn \u201825 star Ama is back with \u201cNeed It Bad\u201d featuring none other than everyone\u2019s favourite loverboy, Brent Faiyaz. And clearly, all good things truly do come in time. With both artists having spent some time away, they return with a new-age R&B track, fused with subtle raunch and buttery vocals that signal a chemistry that can\u2019t be denied. Is it love or lust? They leave that up to your discretion.<\/p>\n

Basement \u2013 \u201cWIRED\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

With their album set for an 8th May release date, Ipswich-hailing band Basement are giving us two sneak peeks into what we can expect from their first album in eight years. The first of which is \u201cWIRED\u201d, the title track for the album, which brings all the energy and heart you might\u2019ve missed from them. A big chorus, fast-paced guitar riffs and nostalgic-sounding vocals that transport you back to the 2010s, this is exactly what we\u2019ve been waiting for from the alt-rock band.<\/p>\n

ELIZA \u2013 \u201cPleasure Boy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

The Darkening Green <\/em>may be her first body of music in four years, but North London soul singer-songwriter ELIZA<\/a> sounds like she\u2019s never been away. It\u2019s an album full of richness and reward, challenge and instinct, summed up by off-kilter slow jam \u201cPleasure Boy\u201d, a tightly wound and playfully loose standout. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Tooth \u2013 \u201cMedicine\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

UK bands are popping out at an uncontrollable rate right now, and the latest newcomers ready to join the vanguard are Tooth.

Farveblind ft. K.Flay \u2013 \u201cThings\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

There\u2019s a raw punkish attitude to \u201cThings\u201d that is simply undeniable. A collaboration between Copenhagen trio Farveblind and K.Flay, the snappy new single features growling vocal dynamics, compelling bass work, and satirical lyricism that cuts like a blunt knife.<\/p>\n

Nettspend ft. YoungBoy Never Broke Again \u2013 \u201cmasked up\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

He certainly isn\u2019t for everyone, but divisive US enigma Nettspend opens conversations at the very least. He\u2019s finally come through with his new album, early life crisis<\/em>, which is chaotic and unconventional as you\u2019d expect from the boundary-breaker. Focus single \u201cmasked up\u201d borrows the oddball craftsmanship of YoungBoy Never Broke Again.<\/p>\n

Thaiboy Digital & swedm\u00ae \u2013 \u201cSilk Road\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

For Peckham-raised Sam Akpro\u2019s latest track \u201cWayside\u201d, he enlisted the help of soul specialist TYSON as they tell us about the feeling of isolation you experience when moving from one change to another. Blending trip-hop and neo-soul, the alternating vocals mesh perfectly with the woozy bass and flashes of brass for a trippy tune that\u2019s one for the chill hangs.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Raised between a convent school in Dingle, a caravan on a dairy farm, a narrowboat in London, and later alone in an old grain mill in East Galway, her music is shaped by a life lived between landscapes. \u201cTelephone\u201d is a guitar-driven opening statement, defying the corrosion of screens and digital noise, with its rhythm mirroring the urgency of her words. Elemental and personal, the track captures the raw energy that defines her writing.<\/p>\n

Here, he lets us into the whisperings of his (lyrical) diary; pages that pen the confronting lyrics from his latest single \u201cno friend, no lover\u201d. It\u2019s a folk-fused, country twanged, angsty, almost-ballad that confronts parasocial relationships, and the insincerity that often accompanies success.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
