‘The Way I Love You’ by Jorja Smith

Fresh from rounding up her North American tour, the UK’s sweetheart Jorja Smith has released her first single of 2025, ‘The Way I Love You’. “It takes me back in time - there’s something nostalgic about it, but now at the same time,” Jorja explained, “I had the pleasure of working with Maverick Sabre, Ed Thomas and Shayk on this one. Every time I play it with my girls, I get so hyped - it’s a proper head-skanker.”

‘On This Love’ by Suki Waterhouse

Our favourite self-proclaimed “Model/Actress/Whatever”, Suki Waterhouse has finally released new music! ‘On This Love’ is a meditative exploration of loss and identity, delving into the shadows of self. Along with the single comes a beautifully witty yet sincere music video, teasing what’s to come next for Suki (along with a bunch of live shows around the world).

‘Vacay’ by Aminé

In between releasing sneakers with New Balance and his inaugural hometown festival The Best Day Ever, Aminé has found time to make some great new music. Already viral on TikTok, it’s got an earworm beat and the rapper’s signature flow, what more could you want for your summer 2025 playlist?!

‘BUTTERFLY KISSES’ by Rico Nasty

From her upcoming studio album, ‘BUTTERFLY KISSES’ by Rico Nasty presents the artist in all her glory. Always an innovator in the rap realm, the track is an alternative digital take, innovating the genre with ease. LETHAL will be out on 16th May and we can’t wait to see what’s in store.

‘Entertainer’ by NewDad

From their upcoming EP Safe, NewDad share ‘Entertainer’, a shoegaze dream-pop fusion that marks a new direction for the Galway band. “The song is about entertaining other people’s idea of who you should be,” explains Julie, the band’s lead vocalist. “I'm only learning now that I just need to shut out the noise and do what makes me feel comfortable.”

‘Event Of A Fire’ By Blondshell

Released ahead of her upcoming album If You Asked For A Picture, ‘Event Of A Fire’ is a cinemtic journey through emotional and physical burn out. “It’s not really ‘what if I’m burnt out from touring’,” explains Blondshell, “It’s like, ‘what if I’m burnt out from just existing?’” Featuring powerful drums and sonic distortion, the track perfectly encapsulates the emotions of avoiding a crash out.

‘Found A Light (Beale Street)’ by BADBADNTOGOOD

BADBADNTOGOOD are bringing the sunshine with their latest release ‘Found A Light (Beale Street)’, alongside a must-watch music video. The track features three-time Grammy-nominated V.C.R., who explains that it is “a thank you letter to my hometown, my people, and the communities that raised me. It’s a love letter to the sounds of the South and the sacred art of collective resilience.”

‘French Girls’ by Dove Cameron

Far removed from her Disney Channel days, Dove Cameron is truly in her alt pop icon bag. ‘French Girls’ is a risqué sharp-tongued track dipped in nods to hyper-pop. From working on her upcoming album to opening for Dua Lipa on her world tour, Dove is booked and busy, and we’re here for it.
