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

Another week, another round of standout drops from some of the industry’s most exciting names, and this one’s stacked. First up, 19-year-old rap polymath Kidwild links up with south London’s Leostaytrill on a heavy-hitting track that reflects on ambition and hustle, following the release of Kidwild’s debut EP earlier this year. UK rap continues to dominate with former NOTION cover star Songer, who trades bars for indie guitar riffs on a swagger-soaked new single. Over in Atlanta, J.I.D keeps that same energy on the slick and confident ‘Behold’, while A$AP Rocky and KayCyy take a more introspective turn, meditating on communal prayer with stripped-back elegance.

 

Kesha returns in full force with ‘RED FLAG.’, a punchy, no-nonsense banger from her new album – the first release on her very own label, Kesha Records. Ethel Cain delivers dreamlike seduction on ‘Fuck Me Eyes’, Shelly drops a sunshine-drenched indie-pop anthem, and Mansur Brown transports us with a whimsical, dubstep-tinged instrumental masterclass.

 

Also back in the spotlight is another former NOTION cover star, Tanner Adell, with a sweet and sassy country cut full of charm. And finally, Kae Tempest closes out the week with a nostalgic synth-pop track that echoes the pulse of the ‘80s while calling out for a better tomorrow.
