OCEAN DEEP

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!

Having already shared a live version of the track, Haim have officially unveiled the studio version of “Right Now” which is taken from their new album Something To Tell You. It’s not often that we’ll share a song twice, but exceptions must be made for exceptional songs - and this is definitely one of them. Check out the track right now, right now… you won’t regret it!

Once you press play on London artist HIRA’s “Eve”, you won’t want to stop listening - it’s THAT good! Following up VOLUME1 project from over a year ago, HIRA enlists production maestros Craze and Hoax along with A. K. Paul to create an absolute groove-fest in “Eve”. Topped off by his spellbinding and lovelorn vocals, this is by far one of the best songs we’ve heard so far this year - it’s a must listen!

If you’ve yet to press play on the magical vibrations of London songstress Cosima, it truly is time that you did! Today sees the release of “Dreams”, a song which shines light on the artist’s hauntingly beautiful vocals but more importantly, the heartwarming and heartbreaking songwriting. There’s just something about Cosima’s music that manages to stop you in your tracks and really, really listen - like we said, it’s magical. 

Having already wowed us with her delectable slices of pop, G.O.O.D. Music signee Kacy Hill has announced the release of her debut album Like A Woman by sharing two equally fabulous tracks. Above is the minimalist and utterly captivating title-track which sees the singer’s voice shine as bright as ever, whilst the more up-beat “Hard To Love” captures Hill’s brilliant songwriting. If the album’s as good as these two tracks, we’re in for a treat!

Acquaint yourself with London duo Equals and their refreshing new single “Daylight Dreaming”. Co-produced by NAO collaborator Loxe, the track encompasses a dazzling electronic soundbed which serves as the perfect backdrop for those stunning vocals to coarse through. Enjoy the single above, it’s  a belter!

As part of Record Store Day this year, Swet Shop Boys put out a limited edition vinyl for their new Sufi La EP, which features six brand new tracks. If like us, you thought you’d never get to hear them, then it’s your lucky day because the trio have shared “Thas My Girl” along with the announcement that the full EP will drop later this month. Once again, Riz MC and Heems offer up their insightful and playful verses over blissfully colourful atmospherics courtesy of Redinho.

Over the past few months or so, Seramic has been teasing snippets of his new I Got You EP, and today, you can stream the project in its entirety. Featuring previously released songs “Greg’s Love” “I Got You” and the dazzling title-track, the six-track EP sees the London based singer/songwriter further take his exhilarating and utterly breathtaking soundscapes to the next level. As refreshingly bright and sweet as ever, this is by far Seramic’s best work - a must listen!

Having surprise released the brilliant Stillness In Wonderland towards the end of last year, Little Simz has now shared her first track of the year in the form of “Backseat”. Serving as “an update for the people”, the track is an explosive electronic-led cut which sees the London artist deliver yet another ruthless and relentless performance. We hope this is the start of something new - for now though, tuck into “Backseat” above!
