Sam Smith has shared his new video for ‘Pray’, the latest single from his hugely-successful second album ‘The Thrill Of It All’.
Unveiled alongside new verses from Logic (which appeared on the single’s release earlier in the year), the track hears Sam partner with Timbaland for the first time, alongside a returning role from frequent-collaborator Jimmy Napes.
Watch the full clip, shot in a breathtaking manor house in Como, Italy, below:
Moments after debuting ‘Happy Man’, Jungle have now shared their second new song of the year with the more melancholic ‘House In LA’.
As with its predecessor, ‘House In LA’ has been a staple in the collective’s live shows over the past year so fans should already be well-acquainted. It’s definitely a head-nodding affair, similar in sonical style to ‘Drops’ off the group’s self-titled debut album.
Check the song out below alongside the track’s official video and let us know your thoughts:
Following a lengthy run of live shows across the globe, Jungle have finally returned with new song ‘Happy Man’.
Recorded in-between live shows over the past year, the track marks the tease-up to the funk collective’s anticipated second album, set for release later this year. On announcing the song as Radio 1’s latest ‘Hottest Record’, Jungle’s Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson confirmed that a headline UK tour was also likely to kick off in October following multiple summer festival appearances. Fingers crossed this leads nicely into Glastonbury 2019, right?

Skepta has returned with new music.
‘Pure Water’, which hit the web earlier today, was self-penned and self-produced by the Tottenham-born MC, and comes following his February collab with Stefflon Don on ‘My Ding A Ling’.
Listen to ‘Pure Water’ below:
Last week Florence + The Machine returned to the scene with their new single ‘Hunger‘ whilst also announcing their fourth studio album ‘High As Hope’.
Set for release next month, the album’s PR spin also kicked off with a set of intimate UK shows across the weekend. Alongside performing classic songs from the group’s repertoire, Florence Welch & co also premiered new music too. Watch them deliver ‘100 Years’ and an acoustic rendition of ‘Patricia’, below:
Having already announced Janet Jackson as the recipient of this year’s Icon Award, The 2018 Billboard Music Awards have now teased further performances, confirming Christina Aguilera will return to the stage to deliver her new Demi Lovato collaboration ‘Fall In Line’.
Lifted off next month’s ‘Liberation’, Aguilera’s eighth studio record, ‘Fall In Line’ is reportedly the project’s official lead single – last week’s ‘Accelerate’ is reportedly a buzz track from the album.
Additional confirmed Billboard performers for the 21st May event include Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, John Legend and Camila Cabello.
You’d be hard-pressed to have ignored the impact of Donald Glover’s new Childish Gambino song ‘This Is America’ over the weekend. The hard-hitting track (which came complete with a ‘break the internet’-style video) received its debut on US TV show Saturday Night Live, where Glover acted as both performer and co-host.
In his live performance of the song, the track bared similarities to the song’s video, particularly with a shirtless Glover and some comically-eccentric dancing.
Watch below:
A fortnight back, The Internet announced their surprise return with ‘Roll (Burbank Funk)’.
Landing as the first track from the group since 2015’s ‘Ego Death’, the song follows a string of solo projects from various members, including Syd and Steve Lacy. Now with a new album on the way, the group have added further excitement by confirming that Kaytranada has remixed the song, with an imminent release likely. The news was shared on the band’s official Twitter earlier today.

No clue as to when the new edit will land, however with The Internet pointing out a timely “VERY soon”, we should hopefully be hearing something the latest by the end of the week. In the meantime, catch the original below:
Following the release of ‘Pink Lemonade’, ‘Us’ and ‘Wild Love’ over the past few weeks, James Blake has now shared ‘Slide’, the closing track from his upcoming new album ‘Electric Light’, due out later this month.
Listen below:
Donald Glover has relit his Childish Gambino project with his brand-new song ‘This Is America’.
Marking his first piece of new music since 2016’s ‘Awaken, My Love’, the track comes alongside a chilling video which flips between comical dancing alongside gripping violent gun-shot scenes.
The clip, whilst hard-hitting, really does need to be seen in all its glory; not just for the artistic creativity behind the shoot, but also for the story it depicts.
