As February draws to a close, there’s plenty of new music to dive into. Find all the fresh releases you should care about with Notion Now.
“Moonlight” by Kali Uchis
Kali Uchis’ sultry vocals are on full display in her new single, “Moonlight”. Switching astutely between English and Spanish, the Columbian singer-songwriter ripples over 60s psychedelia.
“Midnight Rose” by ELIZA
A throwaway from her recent album studio sessions, “Midnight Rose” is delicately delivered, finding a pocket between R&B and trip-hop.
“Calling Out” by Overmono
Sampling CASISDEAD’s “Traction Control”, “Calling Out” is the latest single from Overmono’s forthcoming debut album. A medley of robotic synth and breakbeats crumble below the surface of pitched up auto tune.
“Tormenta” by Gorillaz, Bad Bunny
One of the most anticipated collaborations from Gorillaz' new album, “Tormenta” sees Bad Bunny and Damon Albarn harmonising mellifluously over a steel-pan reggaeton beat.
“Red Hook” by Mac Wetha, Junior Varsity
A vivid cacophony of sound combines on “Red Hook”, Mac Wetha’s collaboration with Junior Varsity. The track bodes a fruitful 2023 for the NiNE8 stalwart, who’s released a myriad of genre-blending bangers recently.
“Sunsleeper” by Barry Can’t Swim
Barry Can’t Swim takes a more polyrhtmic approach on his new single “Sunsleeper”. Elements of lo-fi house and jazz ooze from the production, but this one is made with festival season deeply in mind.
“Circle Back Around” by Jayda G
After the astronomical success of “Both Of Us”, Jayda G’s built a worldwide fan base. “Circle Back Around”, with its deep house grooves, is another infectious moment of electronica.
“Pick Your Tears Up” by Grace Carter
A classic songwriter with an eclectic edge, Grace Carter returns with the new single “Pick Your Tears Up”. “I don’t wanna let you down, I just wanna stick around”, she croons on a powerful pre-chorus.
"Dat Way (Remix)" by Krept & Konan, Abra Cadabra, BackRoad Gee, French Montana, Clavish, Double Lz, Beenie Man, Pa Salieu, Bandokay, K-Trap, DoRoad
Krept & Konan’s remix for “Dat Way” has all the feeling of a cypher. The 10 featuring artists bring their a-game, firing bars from all angles.
"GROUNDBREAKER" by umru, Warpstr
Following umru's Boiler Room debut at the end of last year, Warpstr collab "GROUNDBREAKER" is our club-ready pick to see you through the weekend. With maximalist production and vocals sampled from label-mate Hyd's "Breaking Ground", the track feels like a culmination of umru’s extensive touring of clubs across the globe.
“Die For You” by The Weeknd, Ariana Grande
Seven years on from its original release, The Weeknd brings Ariana Grande on board for a remix of “Die For You”. A serene pop link up, the track sees both artists glide nonchalantly over the synth-led instrumental.
