Fans of The 1975 will be well-acquainted with the band’s instrumental self-titled opener – a short piece that has morphed through multiple iterations to kick off every album since their debut.

Last month, the group shared the latest version of the song as a surprise single, teaming up with 16 year-old activist Greta Thunberg for a strong message about climate change. That track itself fired the starting-gun for The 1975’s anticipated fourth album, ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’, and today, Matty and co share the record’s official lead cut, ‘People’.

Premiered as Annie Mac’s latest BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record, ‘People’ precedes The 1975’s headline slot at this weekend’s Reading and Leeds Festival; a performance that’s expected to give additional cues as to the album’s direction ahead of its release in February 2020.

The band had previously teased the record as a celebration of nightlife and club-culture, with inspiration taken from The Streets and MJ Cole – instantly a seeming departure from their past three albums, ‘Notes’ will close the band’s ‘Music For Cars’ era, which started with last year’s ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’.

Sampa The Great has announced ‘Freedom’, the latest single from her forthcoming album ‘The Return’.

The track – which received a First Play on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show last night (20th August) – follows the singles ‘Final Form’, and ‘OMG’, both of which will join ‘Freedom’ when ‘The Return’ lands on 13th September.

“‘Freedom’ is about one of the most important talks you will ever have as an artist in this industry.” explains Sampa, “The balance of earning a living and expressing your artistry, and what you’re willing to compromise through it all. It’s a blessing being able to create and express yourself through the arts and an even greater blessing when that artistry can provide a livelihood for you, but it’s likely you’ll reach a point in your career where you’ll be given a choice to compromise your artistic expression. How much you’re willing to compromise is a conversation discussed in Freedom.”

Having previously delivered their ode to the Capital with the gorgeous ‘London Love‘, electro-soul duo WESLEE have shared their new cut, ‘Something Bout You’.

A soulful ballad draped in sentimentality, ‘Something Bout You’ deploys a minimalist beat, allowing Emma’s sumptuous vocals to take centre-stage. A fair cry from the playfulness of its predecessor, WESLEE’s new one wears its heart on its sleeve – sombre and slow, yet instantly head-nodding in its output.

Alongside ‘Something Bout You’, the duo have also announced an upcoming show at London’s Omeara on 29th October. Marking their second headline performance of the year, their Omeara appearance will come ahead of their upcoming as-yet-untitled new EP, expected to land in early-2020.

Listen to ‘Something Bout You’, below; Omeara tickets are also avaialble here.

Gorgon City and MK have come together for their new tie-up, ‘There For You’.

Though dubbed as their first official release as a collaborative effort, the Gorgon boys and MK have previously worked together on the Ina Wroldsen-featuring ‘Lie To Me’, a song that whilst still receiving spins on the dancefloor (courtesy of MK’s live sets), never actually received an official release.

Nevertheless, ‘There For You’ firmly makes up for it! Grab a listen below:

Krystal Klear serves up a slick summer anthem with his remix of Georgia’s ‘About Work The Dancefloor’. The Dublin-born, New York-based DJ joins the ranks of The Black Madonna, Locum, Gabe Gurnsey and Happa to add his own flavour to Georgia’s defiant slice of electro-pop, exploring love, passion, melancholy and the thrill of finding yourself on the dance floor.

With a dose of dreamy reverb and spaced-out synths waving through slapping percussion, Krystal Klear’s italo-influenced rework takes it back to the 80s, similar to his excellent take on Octavian’s ‘Feel It‘ from last month.
