RELEASES
Ty Dolla $ign has released the video for ‘By Yourself’, from his ‘Featuring Ty Dolla $ign’ album.
Rejjie Snow has announced that he will release new album ‘Baw Baw Black Sheep’ on 9 Jul. “I approached [the album] light heartedly from the point of view of making a short film through music”, he says. “I always loved ‘Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory’. I watch it all the time. I thought of ‘Baw Baw Black Sheep’ like a soundtrack to it. I put the movie on with my album, and they synced up perfectly. I tried to tap into all of these feelings. The music is really colourful, and the lyrics are often happy, because that was my state of mind”. Here’s new single ‘Relax’.
Garbage have released new single ‘No Gods No Masters’.
Dappy has released new single ‘Wounds’. He’s also announced UK tour dates in October and November.
Chai have released new single ‘Ping Pong’, featuring YMCK. “We’re channelling our inner playful selves, challenging ourselves to fun, and bringing you that nostalgic feel with this song”, say the band. “There’s just something about old video games that’s super cute, a little tacky, yet at the same time fancy. Something that you think is ‘old school’ but at the same time super refreshing. YMCK collaborated with us on this and created the ultimate 8-bit world of Chai!”
HMLTD have released a new single ‘Don’t Leave Me’, featuring three versions of their song ‘Leaving’. The tracks are three of 6400 possible versions of the song, which can be created using an app built by Async.art. The band have also announced an immersive show, based on the Stanford Prison Experiment, at Heaven in London on 16 Nov. More info on that here.
