Discover the hottest collaborations and freshest cuts on this weeks' Notion Now playlist, featuring tracks from Jorja Smith, King Krule, Strandz and more.
“Try Me” by Jorja Smith
After a hiatus, Jorja Smith is back with future R&B hit “Try Me”. Rumbling beneath her cinematic vocals, the grand string scores and thunderous drums create a captivating listen.
“Princess Diana” by Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj
A Nicki Minaj co-sign for Ice Spice felt like an inevitability, and on the “Princess Diana” remix, their animated flows combine in fine fashion, spitting uncontrollably over the track’s drill-infused trap beat.
"Take It Slow" by ENNY, Loyle Carner
Closing out ENNY's latest project, "We Go Again", "Take It Slow" guides us through the rapper's woes and helps us to realise we need to leave time for ourselves.
“J’adore” by Strandz
One of hip-hop’s break out stars, Strandz is bringing a streetwise style to British rap. 50 Cent and G-Unit are an undeniable influence on “J’adore”.
“Misty” by Venna, Knucks
A smoky jazz-rap cut filled with wit, “Misty” reignites the chemistry between Venna and Knucks. The track is taken from the London saxophonist’s latest EP ‘EQUINOX’.
“Seaforth” by King Krule
A new King Krule record, you say? Well, as of June 9th we may just have one. “Seaforth” is its first single, revelling in a comparably upbeat tone than the Peckham native’s usual melancholy.
“Sleep Well” by d4vd
Singer-songwriter sensation d4vd maintains his moody bedroom-style on “Sleep Well”. Filled with solemn harmonies and stripped back guitar loops, the 18-year-old seeks validation through his imperfections.
“Vesta” by O’Flynn
O’Flynn wants us to worship the Roman goddess of the hearth, “Vesta”, on his latest, ethereal breakbeat banger.
“MoBay” by Jords, Tay Iwar
Linking up over an amalgamation of afrobeats, jazz and R&B, Jords and Tay Iwar provide a jiggy new single just in time for April’s impending sun.
“Curious” by Shenseea
Ahead of her Coachella performance next month, Shenseea returns to the airwaves with fiery club banger “Curious”. 'Too many girls in the party' she sings with potency, chasing her devotional urges.
