‘New Woman’ by LISA & Rosalía
BLACKPINK’s Lisa teams up with Spanish sensation Rosalía for a fierce new single, ‘New Woman’. Co-written by Tove Lo and produced by Max Martin, the track blends K-pop with flamenco-infused sounds, with sharp multilingual lyrics celebrating empowerment and reinvention. The early 2000s-inspired video, directed by Dave Meyers, adds a surreal visual flair to this dynamic collaboration: ‘New Woman’ brings together some of the industry’s biggest and best, and we can’t get enough.
‘Sorry Not Sorry’ by Lil Yachty & Veeze
Lil Yachty joins forces with Detroit rap sensation Veeze for their new single, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’. Over a moody beat from K4 and 183zman, the duo trade confident and unapologetic verses. The track’s gritty visuals, directed by AMD Visuals and Little Miles, perfectly capture the dark, bold vibe of this hard-hitting collaboration.
‘Bum Bum’ by Morgan
Morgan makes a triumphant return with ‘Bum Bum’, a playful new single mashing up dancefloor pop with bass-heavy reggae rhythms. Produced by Serban Cazan, the track pays homage to the artist’s Jamaican roots by sampling Sister Nancy’s iconic ‘80s dancehall hit ‘Bam Bam’. An infectious summer anthem, the song marks Morgan's debut on Red Bull Records and arrives just in time for Notting Hill Carnival.
‘Together Forever’ by Big Sean & The Alchemist
In today’s somewhat unexpected collaborations, Big Sean has collabed with The Alchemist on new single ‘Together Forever’, offering a tease of his upcoming album Better Me Than You. Over The Alchemist’s classic beats, Sean delves into the struggles he's overcome with the help of his inner circle. Reclaiming the narrative after having some of his upcoming project leaked, Big Sean shared the song saying “I’m a just start droppin this new music before they leak it all”.
‘Time Of My Life’ by Peach PRC
Ever-inspired by the glam-pop era of the 2010s, our favourite Aussie pink princess Peach PRC is back with new single ‘Time Of My Life’. Nostalgic yet innovative, free yet thoughtful, Peach’s dancefloor-ready track is exactly the energy we need this summer. Accompanied by a Josh Harris-directed video conceptualised by Peach, the artist was behind every detail of the playful visuals, down to the making of the outfits. Having just announced a UK headline show for this October as well as teasing more music, Peach PRC has well and truly set the stage for what’s still to come in 2024.
‘No Broke Boys’ by Tinashe
Is somebody gonna match her freak? Tinashe’s bold anthem ‘No Broke Boys’ says not yet: “I’m out here single and I need somethin’ real”, she sings. Spotlighting the artist’s knack for blending pop and R&B with a fierce edge, the track is a standout from her new album Quantum Baby, exuding confidence with its catchy hook and dynamic production. A testament to Tinashe’s evolution, ‘No Broke Boys’ combines playful lyrics with an infectious beat, part of a tongue-in-cheek album which is sure to be on repeat this summer.
‘Find The Way’ by Peggy Gou
It’s a busy weekend to be a Peggy Gou fan!

Tickets are still available but be quick!
‘Angel Of Satisfaction’ by Rose Gray
Rose Gray's latest vibe-filled single, ‘Angel of Satisfaction’, is a pulsating mix of house beats and gothic flair. Following her summery single ‘Free’, the new track explores a darker side to Rose’s art, reflecting on the temptations and disillusionments of fame. With its hedonistic charm and provocative lyrics, it's a bold step in her evolving sound and we’re excited to see where it leads her to next.
‘Can’t Dance’ by TSHA & Master Peace
TSHA’s infectious four to the floor is never too far away. Whether they’re rattling the chests of ravers on the festival circuit or serenading commuters through their headphones on the way to work - her ethereal techno feels omnipresent. On the beautifully ironic ‘Can’t Dance’, she broadens her sonic repertoire further collaborating with indie alt-star Master Peace and taking us in new directions, always keeping us guessing.
‘Pretty Slowly’ by Benson Boone
Benson Boone's new single ‘Pretty Slowly’ continues his streak of global hits, following the massive success of ‘Beautiful Things’, the rising artist is proving himself to be a must-watch for 2024. Premiered at Lollapalooza and featured on his Fireworks & Rollerblades tour, the cathartic track is a testament to Benson’s evolving sound and teases what’s to come.
