Moving from an infectious chorus that’ll be stuck in your head for days, to some clever and nimble verses, SVDP give you the perfect song to rid of your negative energy.
“Trigger Happy Heartbreak” drops November 24th.
Although we’re a few days late on this one, we simply couldn’t afford not to share it - it’s the music video to “Monsoon”, a stand-out cut from Amber Mark’s spellbinding 3:33AM EP. A fittingly poignant visual, Mark takes you through the streets of Rajasthan, india whilst she performs the track. It’s a beautiful ode to her late mother Mia Mark who also features in the track (and video) via a sample of a recording. Utterly relaxing and elevating, check out the music video up top!
New York songstress Kiah Victoria’s music is like a mix between the Knowles sisters (that’s Beyoncé and Solange in case you were wondering). Now we understand that that’s a pretty big thing to say, but we feel like it’ll be justifed when you press play on “Treat Me”, Victoria’s latest offering. A wonderfully arranged track in which Victoria channels Beyoncé’s fierce delivery and Solange’s smooth and delicate musings, “Treat Me” is one you’ll keep coming back to.
So far indie-pop trio alt-J have shared two mesmerising singles in “3WW” and “In Cold Blood” which are taken from their forthcoming RELAXER album. Today, sees the release of “Adeline”, a track which echoes the band’s beauty and fragility with a simple and minimalist soundscape which gradually intensifies over time. Add those soothing vocals of Joe Newman to serve as the cherry on the cake and you’ve got yourself an absolute gem - check it out above and look out for RELAXER which is out early next month.
With their Sufi La EP just around the corner (it’s out in a few days!), Swet Shop Boys have shared brand new cut “Zombie” which follows up the electric lead single “Thas My Girl”. Available to stream above, the track is snapshot of everything that makes the SSB trio so great - witty and ruthless songwriting delivered with a slick, crisp flow and soundtracked by stunning atmospherics interspersed with East Asian sounds. Enjoy!
Acquiant yourself JW Ridley and his hazy new single “1990″, a swirling guitar-laden track which hits the mark from start to finish. Serving as follow up to previously released single “Everything (Deathless)”, the track encompasses a more subdued but equally captivating aesthetic as Ridley’s gorgeously textured voice soars through. There’s an element of urgency to the keys, a growing sense of tension that is juxtaposed wonderfully by the gentle vocals - this is a must listen!
Consider yourself introduced to HÅN and her enchanting debut single “The Children” which dropped earlier this year. Signed the Italian label Factory Flaws, HÅN’s haunting vocals soar atop the ever-intensifying soundscape to create an atmosphere that captivates you from start to finish. Enjoy the single above and look out for more brilliance from the newcomer in the near future!
It’s been just over two years since we last heard from UK based singer/producer Favela, but with new single “Nevermore My Temples Leave”, the silence is finally, finally broken! Over the course of the track’s five minute journey, Favela lays down his impeccably arresting and heartwarming vocals over a soundscape that grows with more and more layers of instrumentation entering the foray. This is a magical return from an artist who we’ve missed dearly - an absolute must listen!
Francis and the Lights and Chance the Rapper both released two of our favourite albums from last year, and today - the two pair up once more for a remix the remix to “May I Have This Dance” taken from Francis’ Farewell Starlight. Serving as the oficial sequel to the infamous “Friends” visual, the accompanying music video features another dazzling array of dance moves courtesy of Chance and Francis. Yes, you’ve got another routine to learn, so get going by pressing play up top!
As promised, Amber Mark has unleashed her transcendent debut EP 3:33 am into the world, and as expected - it’s an absolute belter. Featuring the previously released singles “SPACE”, “Monsoon”, “Way Back”, “Lose My Cool” and “Can You Hear Me?”, each of the seven tracks that make up the project explores a different stage of grief - namely
Isolation, questioning, sadness, overcoming, anger and regret. Enjoy 3:33 am above in its entirety!
