It’s time for another roundup of some of the tracks I found the most exciting out of this week’s new releases.
Note: Some songs and videos may contain content that listeners / viewers could find objectionable.
Some will probably find the latest from Imagine Dragons a little too “pop” for the band, but it works for me. Strong Summer vibes from this one.
Taylor Swift’s rather sedate new single is given some life in this remix by BLOND:ISH.
A stripped-back midtempo tune from Twenty One Pilots that’s perfect for those lazy Summer days.
PinkPantheress continues her hot streak with a song that is more chilled than her usual output.
Some more retro vibes, this time’s set to a pulsing house beat.
The ELO influence is strong in this track.
Hot on the heels of Childish Gambino’s new single, Vince Staples’ latest makes it look like retro-inflected rap might be the trend of the Summer.
This one actually came out at the beginning of the year, but it’s new to me and it’s so infectious that I had to share it with you!
Conor Maynard provides vocals for the APE-produced dance tune that is perfectly pitched for beach parties.
Long-running UK techno act Plump DJs prove they’ve still got it.
RJD2 serves up some funky trip hop beats to liven up the martini lounge.
Spare and achingly beautiful.
