Lucy Rose returns with Pale Blue Eyes, a jazz-inflected, intimate track that serves as her first release of 2025. Stripped back to piano, bass, and drums, the song was recorded live at Paul Weller’s Surrey studio, with vocals later added at her home in Sussex.
Little Simz ignites a new chapter with Flood, the commanding first single from her upcoming album Lotus, out May 9 via AWAL. Featuring Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly, the track pulses a menacing vocal delivery that cements Simz’s reputation as one of the most dynamic voices in rap today.
Doves return with A Drop In The Ocean, a track that blends philosophical reflection with their signature sound. This latest release is the final single of their highly anticipated sixth album, Constellations For The Lonely, which dropped today via EMI North.
Chaos In The CBD, the London-based NZ brothers Louis and Ben Helliker-Hales, take a refreshing detour from their usual jazzy house sound with "I Wanna Tell Somebody." This sun-soaked single embraces Bossa Nova rhythms, pairing traditional Brazilian percussion with gently swung piano.
Laura Misch, a South London gem who juggles saxophones, production gear, and field recordings like it’s no big deal, has dropped "Alchemy" via One Little Independent Records. This track has a sprawling, chill vibe that somehow turns heartbreak into something you’d willingly sign up for. Misch calls it a sonic hug for anyone ditching an old self or nursing a broken heart—ironic, considering how effortlessly she makes loss sound like a glow-up.
