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

‘Cops & Robbers’ by Sammy Virji & Skepta

After many teasers, Sammy Virji and Skepta’s long-awaited collab ‘Cops & Robbers’ has finally been released. A supercharged blend of UKG and grime, the two Avengers of their fields have joined forces, creating shockwaves in scenes that are seemingly disparate but inherently intertwined. Expect to hear this one throughout the entirety of festival season.

‘CPR’ by Wet Leg

Wet Leg are bringing the angst yet again with ‘CPR’. The opening track to their upcoming sophomore album moisturizer, the single is an unusual love song with a nihilistic, tongue-in-cheek twist - go ahead and listen, if you don’t believe us. The release also comes alongside a sleazy, supercharged music video.

‘Man of the Year’ by Lorde

A bold sonic evolution in her sound, Lorde’s new single release ‘Man of the Year’ marks another major cultural moment in pop. Layered with maximalist production and wrapped in lyrical intimacy, the song is immersive and emotionally charged. A tribute to her inner self, the music video offers a visual journey that is unmistakably raw and unfiltered, building momentum amongst her fanbase not only for her electrifying new album ‘Virgin’, anticipated 27th June, but also for her almost entirely sold out Ultrasound World Tour.

‘LATINA FOREVA’ by KAROL G

KAROL G continues to carry the reggaeton torch with ‘LATINA FOREVER’. Sprinkled with 2000s-pop nostalgia, the track is fiercely commanding and perfect for summer. The Columbian star continues to blaze her own trail for global Latinx music.

‘January 19’ by Mabel

Mabel is entering a new era, and ‘January 19’ is her way of announcing it. What seems like a song about romantic relationships at first listen is actually a cathartic meditation on her relationship with the music industry and experiencing fame from a young age. The release comes a week before she is set to headline the NOTION House of R&B stage at SXSW festival in London.

‘London Summers’ by Odeal

NOTION cover star Odeal is serving us with another summer tune, ‘London Summers’. The twice-MOBO Award winner is using this track as “an ode to transformation,” a love letter to the city when it’s sun-soaked. Having just received his British passport after a long journey, the artist is ready to step into the next chapter of his life and career.

‘Nice To Each Other’ by Olivia Dean

Teaming up with English songwriters Matt Hales and Zach Nahome, Olivia Dean has released another incredible track. ‘Nice To Each Other’ is a deep dive into the intricacies of modern love, backed by acoustic guitar and shimmering melodies. “It’s about enjoying someone in the present and allowing it to be both light and meaningful. I think this song and video represent a playfulness in me that I’m excited for people to see,” Olivia explains.

‘Dora’ by Sainté

Sainté is back on the scene with another Hennessy-smooth hip-hop track. Through ‘Dora’’s smooth beat and velevty verses, the Leicester native commands his place at the top of our country’s rap scene yet again. The music video sees him living a life of luxury, being crowned lord of the manor, and revelling in once-unattainable riches.

‘AVENTADOR’ by Goldlink

Produced by Kaytranada, ‘AVENTADOR’ by GoldLink is exactly what dance meets hip-hop means. Fresh from his brand new album ENOCH, GoldLink has merged his years of travelling the globe into one project, exploring sounds from across the seas. Don’t sleep on this one.

‘Fame Is A Gun’ by Addison Rae

The final single before the release of her debut album Addison, ‘Fame Is A Gun’ sets the stage for what’s to come. Using Addison’s signature formula - catchy hooks, dancey beats, and introspective lyrics, the track delves into the highs and lows of life in the spotlight. Stay tuned for 6th June, when the full album will be released.
