Arcade Fire have released the latest track from their upcoming ‘We’ album, ‘Unconditional I (Lookout Kid)’.
Superorganism have expanded their new single ‘Crushed.zip’. “It’s a musical journey through the anxieties and isolation that can arise from being an artist, it’s ultimately delicious though”, says the band’s Harry.
Angel Olsen has released ‘Big Time’, the second single from her upcoming new album of the same name.
James Righton has released new single ‘Empty Rooms’, featuring none other than Abba’s Benny Andersson. “He’s never done anything like this before”, Righton says of Andersson. “I nervously sent him the track and a couple of days later he sent back this keyboard line which was perfect”.
Aluna and Jayda G have teamed up for new single ‘Mine O Mine’. “This track was pure inspiration in the moment, myself and Jayda started with nothing and built the production, melody and lyrics from scratch, just following our thoughts and feelings about having pulled through 2021 and looking forward to 2022”, says Aluna.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has shared ‘Crosswalk’, the second single from his upcoming album ‘When the Lights Go’, which is out in July.
