Kali Uchis, Ravyn Lenae – ‘Cry about it!’

This dynamic collab between two of the most exciting artists on the planet has everything you would expect: a polished duet of vocals, silky harmonies, and a twinkly melody. But Uchis and Lenae throw in a curveball with a ‘60s-style doo-wop beat, channeling their inner Diana Ross.

Anna Of The North – ‘Waiting For Love’

Brand new single ‘Waiting For Love’ pairs Norwegian singer-songwriter Anna Of The North’s ethereal vocals with an addictive dance beat. Producer Sebastian Furrer is lauded for his previous work with Avicii, and he has sprinkled his EDM magic all over this track. Despite its solemn lyrics, this is a certified club banger.

Rachel Chinouriri – ‘What A Life’

Indie pop rising star Rachel Chinouriri is back with brand new EP ‘Little House’. On ‘What A Life’, she swaps feel-good guitar pop for a soft, romantic ballad. The genre shift brings with it a richer exploration of Chinouriri’s talent, showcasing her emotive vocals – another facet to her star potential.

Brooke Combe – ‘How can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)’

It’s almost impossible to believe that Combe’s new single was released this week, not in 1965. The rhythm and orchestral composition have all the makings of a Northern Soul classic, and Combe’s buttery yet powerful vocals are the kind that only come around once in a generation.

Lambrini Girls – ‘Cuntology 101 (Peaches Remix)’

Healing your inner child is cunty/shagging behind some bins is cunty.” As if Lambrini Girls’ ‘Cuntology 101’ couldn’t get any more iconic, it’s been picked up for a remix by taboo-busting producer Peaches. With two trailblazers of 21st-century feminist punk behind it, the track was never going to be anything short of a banger.
