Our indispensable guide to everything worth hearing.
Moses Sumney – Lonely World
Lifted from his new Lamentations EP,” Lonely World” is the heartbreakingly perfect new track from fast-rising star Moses Sumney. A delicate meditation that will ensnare you before building to a stunning climax, “Lonely World” is further evidence of Moses’ lyrical and production prowess. Moses will play two sold-out headline shows at London’s St. Pancras Old Church in October. The video for “Lonely World” was directed by the artist Sam Cannon and stars Tyler Givens.
Cashmere Cat – Trust Nobody
With guest vocals from Selena Gomez and Tory Lanez, “Trust Nobody” is the brand new single from Cashmere Cat (aka Norwegian producer Magnus Augus Høiberg). “Trust Nobody” follows on from “Wild Love”, the title track from his upcoming album. The single is a scandi (by way of Hollywood), stone-cold banger that should whet your appetite for Cashmere’s long awaited debut album.
King Henry – Don’t Stay Away ft. NAATIONS
King Henry shifts his focus towards the dancefloor on new single “Don’t Stay Away”. Featuring guest vocals from LA/Aussie duo NAATIONS, the track melds some serious ‘90s house with future-facing electronica. “Don’t Stay Away” is shamelessly fun. King Henry’s debut EP will be released by Black Butter Records.
Vanessa White – Low Key (Ft. Illa J)
Making the most of The Saturday’s hiatus, Vanessa White has been winning us over with a mix of killer vocals and throwback R&B vibes. Her latest solo track is the Chloe Martini produced “Low Key” which will appear on her new EP Chapter Two, due out later this year. Vanessa White’s solo career is the gift that keeps on giving.
Bonzai – I Did
20 year future-pop force Bonzai is about to drop her third EP Lunacy. To get you suitably excited she has shared the opening track “I Did”. A refreshing mix of jazz, grime, dancehall, Bonzai breezes through genres with a nonchalant attitude –not bound up in musical conventions. Lunacy is released on 28 October.
Anik Khan – Cleopatra
Cleopatra is the new single from Anik Khan. Produced by Anik and Melo-X (Beyonce’s “Sorry”), “Cleopatra” spans two worlds: hip-hop and Bengali. Anik overlays his touching lyrics on a dance beat with nods to his South Asian heritage and life in Queens, New York.
ThiDaniel – Purple
Singer/songwriter/producer ThiDaniel has shared “Purple”, the sunshine-tinged lead single from his debut EP Lilac. Executive produced by Christopher “Tricky” Stewart (Rihanna, Beyoncé and Frank Ocean), it’s an absolute jam which is contagiously euphoric. ThiDaniel said: “Lilac has been an exploration of colors and collaborating with Tricky is a reminder that when the hues resonate at a high level of vibrancy anything is possible.”
RAY BLK – Chill Out ft. SG Lewis
“Chill Out” is the new single from RAY BLK. Set to appear on her self-released Durt project and follows on from the all-conquering “My Hood”. RAY BLK delivers her potent message over a laidback beat, entirely comfortable and confident about what she has to say. RAY BLK said: “I feel like women are told how to live and act based on societal pressures which stems from male privilege and this song challenges that.”
Charlotte OC – Darkest Hour
Blackburn’s finest Charlotte OC has shared the visuals for new single “Darkest Hour”. A suitably brooding track, “Darkest Hour” is drenched in ominous sound. Pounding beats envelop Charlotte’s emotive lyrics on this after-hours pop gem. Charlotte OC said: “Darkest Hour is about watching someone become a prisoner in a toxic relationship… It’s about feeling powerless because there is nothing you can do to help.” The accompanying video was directed by Vicky Lawton.
Rudie Edwards – I’m Not Her

Tom Zanetti – You Want Me
Leeds DJ & Producer Tom Zanetti teams ups with r&b sweetheart Sadie Ama who layers her soulful sound to compliment what is becoming Zanetti’s trademark dance floor house sound. The track cements the up and coming producer as a definite one to watch for Ibiza and beyond for 2017.
The Chainsmokers – All We Know
The Chainsmokers are undeniably one of 2016’s breakthrough acts, having only just been knocked off the UK top spot after sitting there comfortably with their last single ‘Closer’. ‘All We Know‘ follows a similar template as it’s predecessor, with dainty vocals from newcomer Phoebe Ryan.
