‘BUTTERFLY’ by MARINA

Floating between ethereal melodies and self-assured lyricism, the track feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new, marking the dawn of an exciting era.

’From the Stars’ by Mochakk

Squelchy, acidic synths, disco vocal samples and a familiar 4/4 rhythm amalgamate into Mochakk’s signature house sound on his new From The Stars EP. Our pick is the title track, which sounds ready for the impending festival season with its infectious energy and array of influences.

‘Body Language’ by Ezra Collective & Sasha Keable

Two NOTION cover stars coming together to create a banger? We’re totally here for it. On ‘Body Language’, Ezra Collective and Sasha Keable join forces for a Latin-American tinged dance track, bringing all the polyrythmic fun anyone could ask for on a Friday. With the band’s signature jazzy trumpets and Sasha’s soulful vocals, this track is a must add to any feel good playlist.

‘SNATCH’ by Finn Foxell

If you know anything about Finn Foxell, then you’ll know he’s a big Guy Ritchie fan. On ‘SNATCH’, aptly titled after the Brad Pitt-starring gangsta comedy of the same name, the Shepherd’s Bush artist combines a funkadelic bassline with his geezerish flows. The track teases his upcoming album, mamas boy, shaped by recent singles like ‘HER WAY”’and ‘ALIVE’, where he navigates fatherhood among other themes.

‘No Front Teeth’ by Perfume Genius & Alduous Harding

Perfume Genius crafts a tense, shape-shifting atmosphere on ‘No Front Teeth’, with Aldous Harding’s spectral vocals adding an eerie allure. The track’s shifting time signatures and haunting chorus create a sense of unease, balancing fragility with bursts of raw intensity. Paired with a feverish, reality-bending video, ‘No Front Teeth’ is a striking preview of the unfiltered vision behind the new album, Glory.

‘It’s Amazing To Be Young’ by Fontaines D.C.

Completing a trilogy of music videos directed by BAFTA-Award winner Luna Carmoon, ‘It’s Amazing To Be Young’ is Fontaine’s D.C. at their most anthemic. Created with ROMANCE producer James Ford, the single could easily have squeezed onto the tracklist with its dreamy guitar licks and Grian Chatten’s growling vocals, which tell a story of adolescence in the wake of guitaris Carlos’s new-born child.

‘Dream Woman’ by Suki Waterhouse

Suki Waterhouse unveils a dreamlike haze of longing on ‘Dream Woman’, a mesmerising ballad that drifts between heartbreak and fantasy. With ethereal vocals and lush, melancholic instrumentation, the track captures the wistful elegance that defines her sound. Paired with a visually intimate video directed by sister Imogen Waterhouse, the single cements Suki’s status a magnetic storyteller in modern indie pop.

‘Little Bit Closer’ by Sam Fender

We dare you to try and skip a song on this new Sam Fender record. People Watching, produced by the War on Drugs, sees the North Shields singer filled with a new tank of social realism to unpick, ripping through 11 tracks that quiver and shake with soaring melodies and thudding riffs. ‘Little Bit Closer’ best epitomises this as the Geordie boy chants the song’s title until it crescendoes with a spine-tingling amalgamation of harmonicas, drums and guitars.

‘ExtraL’ by JENNIE & Doechii

JENNIE is stepping into her own with ‘ExtraL’ a high-energy anthem featuring GRAMMY-winning rapper Doechii. The track, paired with a sleek Cole Bennett (Lyrical Lemonade)-directed visual, teases her forthcoming album, Ruby, set for release on 7th March. With commanding flows and an infectious beat, the single will thrust JENNIE’s artistry further intp the spotlight.

‘Revolving door’ by Tate McRae

Tate McRae dives into the push-and-pull of love on ‘Revolving Door’, a hauntingly addictive track from her new album, So Close To What. Blending raw stroytelling with hypnotic production, the song captures the emotional whirlwind of relationships that feel impossible to escape. With Tate’s vulnerability and sharp pop instincts, the single is a striking reminder of why she remains one of pop’s most compelling voices.
