'Henry, come on’ by Lana Del Rey

Our queen is back and releasing new music. Ahead of her arena tour, Lana Del Ray drops ‘Henry, come on’: a slow- tempo track where the singer utilises little other than an acoustic guitar and her instantly recognisable voice, commanding your attention within the first few seconds.

‘Blink Twice’ by Shaboozey & Myles Smith

Announcing the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, Shaboozy enlists BRIT Rising Star winner Myles Smith for ‘Blink Twice’. A force to be reckoned with, the country hitmaker and pop-folk crooner bring their singer-songwriter capabilities to the fore for a twangy hit in the making.

‘EVIL ASF’ by Cortisa Star

Cortisa Star presents ‘DRAMATIC’, taken from their new EP E.M.O (Evil Motion Overload), a frenetic jersey club track made for sticky dance floors. The rest of the project is a concoction of glitchy sounds made to be played in the sweat-soaked back rooms of clubs. Spanning rage rap, hyperpop and drill, the project cements Cortisa as one of the foremost experimenters in their scene.

‘all i need’ by Loyle Carner

2025 is shaping up to be another fruitful year for Loyle Carner, who’s set to headline The Other Stage at Glastonbury. The rapper’s latest music output comes as a double single, ‘all i need / in my mind’, where the south London rapper flexes his abilities as a singer as well as the free-flowing wordsmith we know him as.

‘Tipz & Trickz’ by Bb trickz

‘Tipz & Trickz’ is the track you have to hear off Bb Trickz’s latest EP, 80’z. Solidifying the Catalonian rapper as a chameleonic force, she compels with her signature flow and provocative lyrics that make you wonder, is she the Brat?

’stick’ by Jim Legxacy

2025 has been a big year for Jim Legxacy, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. His experimental and eclectic sampling style combine on ‘stick’, the latest single from his forthcoming mixtape, black british music. Taking inspiration from jerk and drill, the rapper has carved out a space that only he operates in.

‘do what i say’ by kwn

NOTION cover star kwn has released her new single, ‘do what i say’. “I made ‘do what i say’ once again in my bedroom. I wasn’t feeling very creative at the time and was just trying to see what clicked… Lyrically, it’s really just me having fun with my pen and seeing how cheeky I could get,” the east London sensation explains.

‘FREAKY (JUST MY TYPE)' by SHERELLE & George Riley

SHERELLE and George Riley join forces for ‘FREAKY (JUST MY TYPE)’, the lead single from SHERELLE’s debut album, WITH A VENGENCE. “We only had an hour with each other but its turned into a beautiful lifelong memory between friends and we now have a beautiful song out of it,” says the DJ and producer when explaining the process of creating the track.

‘NEVER ENOUGH’ by Turnstile

The title track to their new album, ‘Never Enough’ by Turnstile comes alongside a picturesque Brendan Yates-directed music video. The band’s first full-length release in four years, the entirely self-produced project has been highly anticipated, and is seeminly marking anew era for the Baltimore rockers.

‘Friday Prayer’ by AJ Tracey, Headie One & Aitch

AJ Tracey, Headie One, and Aitch all one track together? It it 2019? A supercharged rap track, ‘Friday Prayer’ marks the Ladbroke Grove rapper’s definitive return, and he’ll be releasing the new album Don’t Die Before You’re Dead this summer.
