Platform’s Nick Lowe takes us through his selections of the newest songs from this week and what we should be adding to our Spotify playlists.
Tommy Genesis — ‘It’s Ok’
A slow-tempo cut from her second LP, this standout track will have you feeling feelings you didn’t even know you felt.
Sabrina Carpenter — ‘Almost Love’
Former Disney Channel star becomes pop-star on this new track, taken from her new album. Produced by Stargate, this will have you dancing around your room in absolutely no time.
Madison Beer (feat. Offset)— ‘Hurts Like Hell’
Co-written by Charli XCX, this trap-influenced pop single is the first song off her upcoming album and describes it herself as the “devilish side of a breakup song.”
Little Dragon — ‘Lover Chanting’
The Gothenburg-based group have released their new EP, and the title track is particularly excellent. This funky, electronic record is definitely not one to skip this week.
Yxng Bane (feat. Eyelar) — ‘Breakfast’
A soft, down-tempo interlude amongst a dancehall, R&B infused album makes this track an absolute standout.
BRYN (feat. Dreezy) — Drunk and Wavey
Born and bred in South London, 18-year-old rapper releases a trap-filled boss anthem that solidifies her as a strong contender within the UK rap scene.
Molly Rainford — ‘I Like You’
If you’re wondering what the future of pop sounds like, look no further than Molly Rainford. It’s hard to believe that a song this bold is just her debut single. From London, Molly is definitely an artist to look out for in the future.
MIO — ‘Lost’
Warning: you’ll have this song on repeat for the next three months. This dancehall-infused pop track comes from an anonymous collective who keep their identity hidden, in order for listeners to focus solely on the music.
OFFAIAH — ‘Push Pull’
You’ll definitely need this track for your next pres. With its heavy beat and sultry female vocals, good luck getting this one out of your head.
