RELEASES
Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z have released new track ‘Entrepreneur’. “The intention for [the] song was all about how tough it is to be an entrepreneur in our country to begin with”, Williams tells Time. “Especially as someone of colour, there’s a lot of systemic disadvantages and purposeful blockages. How can you get a fire started, or even the hope of an ember to start a fire, when you’re starting at disadvantages with regards to healthcare, education and representation?”
Katy Perry has released an acoustic version of new song ‘What Makes A Woman’, from her new album ‘Smile’, which is out next week.
Headie One has released new single ‘Ain’t It Different’, featuring Stormzy and AJ Tracey.

Aluna has released new single ‘Envious’, taken from her upcoming debut solo album ‘Renaissance’. “I think people really need this song right now because I believe it’s my best ‘cry dance’ song; a style I coined to describe that exquisite feeling when all your emotions are released while dancing so you cry at the same time”, she says. “I feel like in these times people need that at least once a day!”
Youmeatsix have released new single ‘Makemefeelalive’, the first single from their still-to-be-announced seventh album.
Aminé has released new track ‘Hello’, featuring Luke Steele of Empire Of The Sun.

James Vincent McMorrow and Kenny Beats have released new single ‘I Should Go’. “I fucking adore this song”, says McMorrow. “The second I put the guitar parts together I knew it was going to be something I adored. I sat in a room with Kenny and played him what I had and I think he immediately got it; I had this feeling going into the studio that day that he was the person who could take the idea and elevate it into the space I wanted it to be. I was definitely correct”.
Queen and Adam Lambert are only releasing a live album. Full of recordings of Queen performances from over the last seven years, with Lambert on vocals of course. It will be out on 2 Oct.
Oklou has released ‘Galore’, the title track of her new mixtape, out on 24 Sep.
