Kelsey Lu’s new single ‘Running To Pain’
A classically trained cellist with a tremendous sense of vision – seven years on from her last album, this is cinematic synth art-pop at its most devotional, the kind of track that sounds like it was written in the dark and recorded facing the light. With Sampha, Kamasi Washington and Kim Gordon all appearing on the album (‘So Help Me God’, out in June), this is shaping up to be one of the year’s big ones.
Ed O’Brien’s new single ‘Blue Morpho’
Melodicly beautiful – soft percussion, strings, balmy vocals throughout, all of it. It’s fun to listen to each Radiohead member’s solo work; it shows exactly why they’re so special together, and how much each one brings to the whole.
MRCY’s new single ‘Better Days’ feat. Yazmin Lacey
Warm brass, unhurried jazz and Lacey’s voice doing what it always does, making everything sound like it’s going to be okay. Tailor-made for the first week you can leave your jacket at home.
Lime Garden’s new single ‘Downtown Lover’
Almost Pavement-y in the backing vocals, gorgeously scuzzy and sentimental. On the band’s latest track, Chloe Howard is confronting her self-sabotaging approach to relationships and making it a sonically great time.
CLT DRP’s new single ‘WHAT IS SHE FOR?’
A rallying banger. As always.
