Jak Lizard – Callin’ Me
New York soul-pop artist Jak Lizard worked with Brasstracks on his new single “Callin’ Me”, so it’s of no surprise that his buttery croon shines bright over a catchy and feel-good track. Plus, the accompanying music video is a fun and “cameo”-filled visual.
Dijon – Rodeo Clown
Ahead of his debut album Absolutely out next month, breakthrough star Dijon continues to dazzle with his latest single “Rodeo Clown”. His rich vocals and carefree soul sensibilities are an out of this world combination once again.
SALOMEA – Umami & Lime
Crisp, hyper-textured production and glossy neo-soul vocals come together for SALOMEA‘s striking new single “Umami & Lime”. As the title suggests, the song is filled with flavour and goes through a feast of sounds and arrangements.
Mick Jenkins – Scottie Pippen
With his new album Elephant in The Room out on Friday, Mick Jenkins returns with a new cut “Scottie Pippen”. The new record is a vulnerable collection of tracks that explore the idea of asking for help, the tensions that arise from success, and allowing change to happen. “Scottie Pippen” delves into the idea of feeling under-appreciated no matter how great the work is.
Wet – Larabar
Now onto their third album Letter Blue, New York City trio Wet have shared the choreographed music video for the jazzy single “Larabar”. The orchestral arrangements of the track bring out a dreamy quality while Wet blur synthetic and analog with emotive results.
Valley Boy – Disgusting
Honesty goes a long way, and for indie duo Valley Boy, it’s at the heart of their new single “Disgusting”. A wonderfully chill journey through bedroom lo-fi eventually opens up into a buzzing rock finish, highlighted by their less than usual secret-spilling in the lyrics.
Ultra Q – It’s Permanent
Despite thinking the track was “trash” in its early days, “It’s Permanent” quickly became Ultra Q’s favourite from their upcoming EP Get Yourself A Friend. ’90s synth-wave and grunge combine with modern alt-rock for an underground rock hit that feels both like a Euro disco club hit and a song blowing over the speakers at 3am in a punk dive bar.
