sombr \u2013 \u201cMy Body Isn\u2019t Ready\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

sombr continues to be ever-present in the pop culture consensus with a personal new track, \u201cMy Body Isn\u2019t Ready\u201d. The raw and honest ballad is accompanied by a music video featuring two of screen media\u2019s favourite new presences in Inde Navarrette and Josh Heuston.<\/p>\n

beabadoobee \u2013 \u201cSun Has Set\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Following her previous album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves, reaching No.1 in Britain, beabadobee returns with the first single for her fourth album as one of London\u2019s most impactful and striking songwriters. Pylon <\/em>will be unleashed on 18th September via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records; its first single, \u201cSun Has Set\u201d, is a swirling emotional escapade of rhythmic crashes, waves of anguish, and a sign of heavier, darker music to come.<\/p>\n

Steve Lacy ft. SZA \u2013 \u201cis it cool?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s an A-list collaboration between two of US R&B\u2019s most quintessential modern players. Our latest look at Oh yeah?<\/em>, Steve Lacy\u2019s forthcoming studio record going 17th July via RCA Records, sees the polymath join forces with the peerless SZA to great avail for this soulful and idiosyncratic jam.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Phoebe Bridgers \u2013 \u201cLost Boys\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The sweeping and melancholic beauty of Phoebe Bridgers has at last returned, like an old friend gently knocking on your door in the dead of night. Her long-awaited third studio album, Lost Weekend<\/em>, will be released on 14th August, accompanied by a UK, EU and NA sold-out arena tour. For now, we\u2019ve got \u201cLost Boys\u201d, a first single of dazzling sadness and folky subtlety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EsDeeKid \u2013 \u201cRockWave\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The new video from Archie Erskine, the long-time collaborator of Liverpool\u2019s masked anti-hero EsDeeKid, is sensationally good. And the music\u2019s not bad either \u2013 EsDee gets on his \u201cRockWave\u201d with this dominant and daring new number, with slick arrogance and playful threat swirling around the booming instrumental.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sophia Stel<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cMolly in the Club\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Signed to A24 Music and gearing up for her most consequential chapter to date, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter and producer Sophia Stel is finding her sound more acutely with each passing release. \u201cMolly in the Club\u201d is one of her most stirring and compelling tracks to date, with its glistening nostalgia, ethereal texture and vivid lyricism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Portraits Of Tracy \u2013 \u201cCaught In A Jam\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

One of the most adventurous and idiosyncratic talents to emerge in American rap in the last decade, it\u2019s a breath of fresh air to see Portraits Of Tracy return to the fold. The enigmatic singer, rapper, producer and instrumentalist has announced a new EP, \u201cQ: From Where Do Our Primal Instincts Originate A: MTV!\u201d, which will drop on 24th July. The first teaser sees her \u201cCaught In A Jam\u201d, with heady sonics, tongue-twisting lyricism and striking vocal presence.<\/p>\n

Mura Masa ft. Ledbyher \u2013 \u201cNeedja\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u201cNeedja\u201d is the kind of collaboration that you wouldn\u2019t have thought about before hearing it, but once you have, it makes so much sense. Iconic Grammy-winning producer Mura Masa has unlisted one of the UK underground\u2019s most important new wave players in Ledbyher<\/a> for \u201cNeedja\u201d, shared via his own Pond Recordings Label. Self-coined \u201cemo-breaks\u201d, you can understand why.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frost Children \u2013 \u201cSatellites\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Have you ever spent 24 hours running on no sleep in Tokyo? That\u2019s the starting point for Frost Children<\/a> on their new EP \u201cTweaker Poem\u201d, which was created in a single sleep-deprived session. The project was done after they left New York when they discovered they had a stalker, built around the idea of obsession with an \u201cidol\u201d, exploring how admiration can tip into fixation. The lead single, \u201cSatellites\u201d, a high-energy electronic pop track, and its accompanying video introduce the EP\u2019s first taste of that world.<\/p>\n

This Is Lorelei \u2013 \u201cBilly Came Back\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

This Is Lorelei\u2019s new album, The Singer in My Band<\/em>, and the lead single \u201cBilly Came Back\u201d, were mostly made on the road. Written while Nate Amos was constantly touring, the album developed from long stretches of daydreaming on the road, where ideas formed without instruments before being properly assembled later. This new track in particular reflects that process, an entry point into an album that twists familiar songwriting ideas into something more fragmented, offbeat, and road-worn.<\/p>\n

Nia Smith \u2013 \u201cHope In Us\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

British soulstress Nia Smith is putting the \u201cHope In Us\u201d with this sunshine-in-a-bottle song with the release of her Payback Is a Dog <\/em>album, out today. Despite the slight melancholy as she expels her pessimism with love, she does so to a groovy melody \u2014 equal parts heartbreaking and toe-tapping, perhaps as Nia does best: making the mundane sound spectacular.<\/p>\n

Cobrah ft. Grimes \u201cSign From God\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

COBRAH links with Grimes on \u201cSign From God\u201d, an energetic collab single that continues Cobrah\u2019s Torn<\/em> era that is made for the club with stripped-back direct songwriting. First previewed during Cobrah\u2019s Coachella set, with its electronic production and clean, high-impact vocals, the track sits between Cobrah\u2019s performance-led pop style and Grimes\u2019 more experimental edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joe James \u2013 \u201cPapercuts\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Having garnered a huge cult following for his baritone vocals and sharp rhymes, Joe James drops off \u201cPapercuts\u201d from his upcoming debut album, The End, Never Ends<\/em>. Being his favourite track off the record, the Southend rapper delves into the emotional and spiritual impact of capitalism over a hazy yet cinematic piano beat.<\/p>\n

Quadeca \u2013 \u201cBaby Steps\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Multi-faceted modern artist Quadeca<\/a> is continuing to up the artistic ante with this quite gorgeous folk-tinged single, with irrelevance and immersion swimming through. \u201cBaby Steps\u201d is organic and intimate, with a subtle vocal performance and impressive sonic world-building. A far cry from anything he\u2019s ever made before.<\/p>\n

Blondshell \u2013 \u201cViolins\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Blondshell is shredding \u201cViolins\u201d on this heart-wrenching rock ballad. Reverberating between grandeur and grit, turbulence and tenderness, this track becomes the heartpiece of her forthcoming album of the same title. She whispers and bellows over the song\u2019s jagged melody, finding resolution in the form of a sonic crescendo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curbside Lambsear \u2013 \u201cMan The Door\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

A quietly gorgeous debut single, \u201cMan The Door\u201d, holds an experimental looseness and an emotional weight of a band far more experienced. Curbside Lambsear, a duo of Annabelle M\u00f6dlinger and Magda McLean (the latter of whom also plays in the avant octet caroline), look set to be a key presence in years to come with their stunning mix of droopy emo, twinkly indie folk and snappy sincerity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

BackRoad Gee ft. Pa Salieu \u2013 \u201cSpin Your Block\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Six years on from their legendary collab on \u201cMy Family\u201d, two of UK rap\u2019s most striking performers, BackRoad Gee and Pa Salieu, join forces for a fresh heater, \u201cSpin Your Block\u201d. It\u2019s a vibrant, Afro-infused summer jam, a sign of both artist\u2019s impressive artistic progression in the years since their prior joint work.<\/p>\n

Muireann Bradley \u2013 \u201cNot Going Back\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Set to take over London\u2019s MOTH Club, Irish singer-songwriter is \u201cNot Going Back\u201d on her latest single. On this track, the twangs and traditions of indie-folk music bubble right to the surface. Her husky, darkened vocals amble right over a twinkling melody.<\/p>\n

Medium Build \u2013 \u201cArmor\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Alt-country aficionado Nick Carpenter, aka Medium Build, is keeping his \u201cArmor\u201d on with this new vivacious track. Joyful and lit with an electric guitar buzzing through it, this track sees him leave behind his atypical bedroom-pop flows for something louder, larger and inevitably, lasting \u2013 all in the lead up to his September-releasing album King of Having Fun<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

total tommy \u2013 \u201cWinona Forever\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Australian indie-punk crooner total tommy is sounding more vital and potent than ever as she picks up steam in her new artistic chapter. Following the excellence of her 2024 debut album, bruises<\/em>, the singer-songwriter and instrumentalist ups the emotional ante with \u201cWinona Forever\u201d, a swirling rock-fused jam with a killer hook and homage to the \u201890s cinema icon who shares the song\u2019s title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chico Blanco ft. NAZZZ \u2013 \u201csunset\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Berlin-based Granada-born Chico Blanco shares new single \u201cSunset\u201d featuring NAZZZ, a track that sits between club rhythms and soft vocals, inspired by the memories of being at a club dancing with a lover. The single leans into Chico Blanco\u2019s nostalgic, Mediterranean-influenced approach to club music, while NAZZZ adds smooth, intimate vocals. It\u2019s taken from his upcoming debut album AMNESIA<\/em>, which continues his focus on dance-pop built around memory, imagined places, and shifting states of nightlife across Berlin and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Cristale \u2013 \u201cNo Harm\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Off the back of her braggadocios last single \u201cTop 3\u201d, Cristale is back with a different side to her with the song \u201cNo Harm\u201d. Leaning towards a more introspective topic, the South London rapper talks self-awareness and growth as she navigates the difficulties that come with success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Babymorocco \u2013 \u201cAnnoying\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Babymorocco hopes he\u2019s not \u201cAnnoying\u201d you on his latest summer anthem. The London-hailing pop disruptor shares his despair on this blitzy, sugary single peppered with lyrics that are like diary lines spilling over. Here, he tries to balance self-awareness with complaint and genuine vulnerability as he strives for affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

KayMuni \u2013 \u201c7AM\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Continuing to state his case on the UK rap space, Birmingham\u2019s real rap prodigy KayMuni is finding his emotional flow on the potent and powerful \u201c7AM\u201d. Turning personal pain into authentic storytelling, the track is a throwback rap banger that further cements Kay\u2019s seat at the UK scene\u2019s table.<\/p>\n

Mary Ann Alexander \u2013 \u201cToo Much\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Rising Keralan R&B artist questions whether she\u2019s \u201cToo Much?\u201d on this smooth, easygoing track \u2013 and new visuals just dropped. Weaving her love for India into the melody and design of its heritage, it\u2019s a sizzling, swinging beat that bumps with that \u201880s soul flair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brennan Wedl \u2013 \u201cPretty Little Fantasy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

After being in the band Dazey & The Scouts, Brennan Wedl is now making the push to go solo. Her first order of business? Her single \u201cPretty Little Fantasy\u201d off her debut self-titled album. It\u2019s a rock song through and through, from the addicting guitar riff to the grand drums and her commanding vocals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amaria BB ft. Leigh-Anne \u2013 \u201cClosure\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Jamaican singer-songwriter Amaria BB Comes To Light <\/em>on her new album, out today via AWAL \u2013 and she\u2019s enlisted the help of fellow R&B soulstress Leigh-Anne to find \u201cClosure\u201d. On this sultry track, they test the bounds of their chemistry as they go flirt-for-verse throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TaliaBle ft. Joe Goddard \u2013 \u201cEndless\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Following up on her track \u201cDreams\u201d, TaliaBle is in the mood for more with her newest song \u201cEndless\u201d. Produced by Grammy winner Joe Goddard, it\u2019s got quite the epic, bouncy soundscape with very assured, strong vocals by the Tottenham-hailing rapper as she talks about the constant movement of tour life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paulie Swan \u2013 \u201cShiner (The Cape)\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Paulie Swan shares new focus track \u201cShiner (The Cape)\u201d from the \u201cSwans Today\u201d EP, a self-produced cut shaped in his Edinburgh bedroom studio where he handles most of the instrumentation himself. Following early attention around the viral track \u201cMe vs Mothra\u201d, which sparked conversation on corners of the internet, the project builds on his blend of alternative folk, jazz, and indie textures, with a strong influence from film, animation, and his ongoing studies at Edinburgh University. <\/p>\n

Ruby Roberts \u2013 \u201cBad Girl July\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

With June almost over, Ruby Roberts beckons a \u201cBad Girl July\u201d. It begins darker and sexier, lingering like a red wine in an East London bar, before lightening into a ros\u00e9 with an uptempo melody, transitioning from blues to jazz. It marks a sonic pivot in the young singer-songwriter\u2019s musical evolution, and this is set to take a turn for the better.<\/p>\n

\u00d8neheart ft. Europa \u2013 \u201chero\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Fresh from working alongside Ledbyher on an exclusive remix of \u201cUP TO MY NECK IN U\u201d, new single \u201chero\u201d sees \u00d8neheart continue to venture into new territory. Departing from his trademark ambient soundscapes, the young producer explores a heavier sonic palette, primed and ready to set dancefloors alight this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ari Lee \u2013 \u201cExpiration Date\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Hong Kong-born, London-based singer-songwriter Ari Lee drops a new pop gem, \u201cExpiration Date\u201d. It\u2019s an undeniable, catchy effort with crunchy guitars and soaring vocals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Osaze & Marcus \u2013 \u201cSplendid\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Rapid-rising duo Osaze & Marcus continue momentum with the official release of viral hit \u201cSplendid\u201d. What started as a playful dance challenge rapidly exploded across TikTok, with the melodic Afroswing anthem quickly propelling the two young talents firmly into the spotlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
