Press play on the latest edition of NOTION NOW, the playlist featuring the freshest tracks you need to hear.
‘ROCKMAN’ by Mk.gee
Mk.gee’s latest single ‘ROCKMAN’ pulses with the same vibrant energy that defines his live shows, blending intricate guitar work with euphoric melodies. With its electrifying intensity and sharp production, the track solidifies his position as one of the most exciting new voices in indie rock.
‘Puchica’ by Isabella Lovestory
Isabella Lovestory is back with her new single, 'Puchica’: a playful anthem that captures a carefree spirit. The self-directed music video is a vibrant collage of Isabella’s experiences—from her living room in Montreal to performances in Chile and Argentina, and moments with friends in New York.
‘Pieces of a Dream’ by MIKE
For all the stylistic evolutions that MIKE has been through, the quality always remains consistent. ‘Pieces of a Dream’ feels hypnotic, like we’re plunging into his drug-tinged conscience and the dissociative effects of a life fuelled by vices. Hopefully, this is a sign of more music to come by the end of the year.
‘SO TRU’ by Confidence Man
The lead single from Confidence Man’s critically acclaimed new album, 3AM (La La La), ‘SO TRU’ encapsulates the duo’s playful electro-pop, transporting you to a sweaty ‘90s club where pumping 4/4 is plays until the early hours of the morning. Think .
‘No Bad Vibes’ by Jazzy, KILIMANJARO
Jazzy and KILIMANJARO’s collaboration on ‘No Bad Vibes’ fuses uplifting, rave-ready vocals with moody afro-house production, creating an infectious track that captures the energy of losing yourself on the dancefloor. Jazzy’s bright delivery contrasts KILIMANJARO's darker beats, resulting in a track that’s both hypnotic and energising.
‘Fantasy’ by JADE
The resurgence of former Little Mix member JADE needs to be studied. On ‘Fantasy’, the second single from her solo debut album, the singer-songwriter produces an ethereal disco track, delivering a passionate vocal delivery that opens up a fantastical world for fans to get excited about.
‘HIM ALL ALONG’ by Gunna
It’s been a busy day for Gunna, who has released his Big Sean collaboration ‘It Is What It Is’ and the new solo single, ‘HIM ALL ALONG’. The latter is a classically contagious Atlanta trap tune. You can almost hear the hunnids hitting the floor in a strip club, as the rapid-fire kicks bring an urgency to Gunna’s melancholy.
‘Waxwing’ by Sorry
Sorry’s ‘Waxwing’ is a synthpop reimagining of Toni Basil’s 1982 hit, ‘Hey Mickey,’ blending nostalgic elements with a futuristic twist. The track’s chopped-up vocals add a human touch to its sci-fi production, making it feel like it could be part of a modern film soundtrack.
‘GROWUP’ by Machinedrum & Kilo Kish
‘GROWUP’ by Machinedrum and Kilo Kish combines ethereal vocals with a dreamy set of breakbeats. The futuristic production and lo-fi elements enhance the song’s allure, inviting listeners into a world of desire and escapism. Its infectious rhythm evokes a sense of freedom and exhilaration.
‘Evicted’ by Nemzzz
Teased on TikTok after Cole Palmer’s impressive four goals against Brighton, ‘Evicted’ by Nemzzz features the viral bar, “Heart gone cold like Palmer”. The track explores the complexities of relationships and the nuances of success. Produced in collaboration with Zel & Nathan, the single combines sharp wordplay with a chugging trap beat, illuminating the rapper’s distinctive style.
