In this week's Notion Now playlist, discover the hottest new tracks from Burna Boy, Brent Faiyaz, Ashnikko and more.
“Cheat On Me” by Burna Boy, Dave
Burna Boy and Dave’s collaborative streak is something to behold. On “Cheat On Me”, the wordsmiths sing over a flipped sample from the similarly titled Kwabs song, “Cheating On Me”.
“Moment Of Your Life” by Brent Faiyaz, Coco Jones
On “Moment Of Your Life”, Brent Faiyaz shows again that he’s not your average R&B artist. Alongside Coco Jones, he sounds as sweet and sultry as ever.
“Dying Star” by Ashnikko, Ethel Cain
Closing Ashnikko’s latest record, ‘WEEDKILLER’, “Dying Star” broadens the vocalist’s incendiary sound palette even further.
“Sentry” by Earl Sweatshirt, The Alchemist, MIKE
Virtuosic rapper Earl Sweatshirt has teamed up with prodigal producer The Alchemist for “Sentry”, the first single off a collaborative full-length album. Titled ‘Voir Dire’, the project is being debuted at the Jazz Café in London tonight.
“Single Soon” by Selena Gomez
The Selena Gomez revival is in full swing. “Single Soon” is an empowering breakup anthem, reeling her back into the limelight.
“How It Feels” by Barry Can’t Swim
Anticipation is growing for Barry Can’t Swim’s debut album, ‘When Will We Land?’. Releasing via Ninja Tune, “How It Feels” switches up the pace and tempo of its previous singles.
“of course” by M Huncho
“Of course, I am the plug”, confesses M Huncho on his latest single. It’s a gritty confessional bop made with late-night drives in mind.
“Ice Slippin” by Omar Apollo
“Ice Slippin” is the first of a four-track release that Omar Apollo is said to hold dearly to his heart. Dulcet and dreamy, the song follows “3 Boys”: a surprise single released earlier this year.
“I Like” by Clipz, KAM-BU, Tia Carys, Lady Ice
Clipz has a knack for releasing fiery jungle bops just in time for Carnival. “I Like” is no different, thanks to its cybernetic production and various features.
“Punk’s Dead” by SOFT PLAY
Reforming with a new moniker, but a familiar approach, Laurie Vincent and Isaac Holman are back with the raucous single, “Punk’s Dead”.
