Press play on the latest edition of NOTION NOW, the playlist featuring the freshest tracks you need to hear.

‘twilight zone’ by Ariana Grande

After fans begging her for more music, Ariana Grande finally answered their prayers with eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead. With shimmering chords that hark back to the ’80s and Ariana’s lullaby-esque tone, we’re welcoming the pop veteran’s new era with open arms.

‘DILEMMA’ by Nemzzz & Central Cee

Nemzzz and Central Cee’s latest song embodies everything there is to love about UK rap. Fresh off of Nemzz’s latest mixtape, RENT’S DUE, it’s a punchy post-drill track with an eery melody and their unique cadences. Nemzzz is here to stay, and ‘DILEMMA’ makes that very clear.

‘Hide It Away’ by Wallows

Lifted from their More EP, ‘Hide It Away’ by Wallows is an amalgamation of the influences that have defined their journey so far. Pop in essence, while drawing from indie, new wave and post-punk, the track has a sound deeply reminiscent of ‘00s guitar music, creating something that is both comforting in its familiarity yet riveting in its craftsmanship.

‘Diamonds’ by YT & Fimiguerrero

NOTION cover star YT just released his highly anticipated mixtape, OI!, featuring 12 tracks that will get you bouncing for the weekend. Honing in on his jerk sound, ‘Diamonds’ with Fimiguerrero is set to a rumbling beat and disjointed snares. This isn’t the first collaboration we've heard from the duo and we hope it won’t be the last!

‘Not a Pretty Girl’ by Bb trickz

After praise for her feature on the remix of Charli xcx’s ‘Club classics’, Bb trickz is keeping the ball rolling with ‘Not a Pretty Girl’. Sampling Clairo’s track of a similar name, she plays with early 2020s nostalgia and an unmistakeble flow, switching dexterously between English and Spanish.

‘EASIER’ by Finn Foxell

Rapper, singer and visionary Finn Foxell is on a hot streak of bangers and ‘EASIER’ is no exception. Coming from his highly anticipated album MAMA'S BOY, the single is a taste of what’s to come. An edgy blend of rap and rock, the track is a product of heartbreak, the birth of his first child, and a culmination of other life obstacles.

’merlot and grigio’ by Yaya Bey & Father Philis

Set to a breezy backing, which fuses elements of Soca, reggae and samba, ‘merlot and grigio’ by Yaya Bey and Father Philis is a healthy shot of sunnier times. Funky and dynamic, Yaya Bey’s soulful vocals complement Father Philis’ bouncy assertiveness perfectly.

‘Free’ by Little Simz

With each release, Little Simz breathes new life into UK hip-hop. ‘Free’ is a sneak peek into the sound on her upcoming album, Lotus, showcasing both her breezy flow and fine-tuned pen. The track is a poignant and groovy addition to her critically acclaimed discography.

‘Sunshine & Rain…’ by Kali Uchis

Former NOTION cover star Kali Uchis just released her first single off her upcoming record, Sincerely. ’Sunshine & Rain…’ beautifully harks back to the Colombian star’s old sound, the one that made fans fall in love with her in the first place. Angelic and sexy, we can’t wait to see what the rest of the album brings.

‘Bullseye’ by Lucy Dacus & Hozier

‘Bullseye’ by Lucy Dacus and Hozier is an invitingly vulnerable insight into both of the artists’ abilities to convey emotions through storytelling. A beautiful folk-pop track about lost love, the pair mark their territory as integral voices in modern music.
