Hear Sampha’s Solange-approved cover of ‘Cranes In The Sky’

0

Ahead of his Park Stage performance at Glastonbury last weekend, Sampha stopped by the BBC Treehouse to deliver a couple of acoustic tracks – Blood On Me from his acclaimed debut album Process, alongside a gorgeous rendition of Solange’s Cranes In The Sky.

Both Solange and Sampha had previously worked together on this year’s Don’t Touch My Hair (from her excellent surprise LP A Seat At The Table) – she also marked her seal of approval on the Cranes In The Sky cover, tweeting “Sampha, your voice and soul are unmatched”.

Grab a listen to both tracks over on the BBC website, here.

Listen: Tyler, The Creator – ‘Who Dat Boy / 911’ (ft Frank Ocean)

Tyler, the Creator has shared his second song in as many days, teaming up with Frank Ocean for 911 / Mr. Lonely. The release comes after several days of teasing new music from Tyler, whose last full-length studio release was 2015’s Cherry Bomb.

Listen below:

Listen: Mura Masa – ‘Blu’ (ft Damon Albarn)

Mura Masa will release his debut album later this month, and in preparation, the producer keeps the moment going with even more collaborations.

We’ve already heard his Christine and the Queens feature on Second 2 None, and today the young producer (aka Alex Crossan) connects with Damon Albarn for the first time on Blu.

It’s probably more downbeat than anything we’ve heard from both artists over the course of the year, but the second half really throws things into gear – Albarn’s vocals gets the ‘warped Mura Masa treatment’, with some twinkling (alt-Snakehips-esque) sonics also appearing as the build continues.

EP stream: Danny Howard – ‘Work That / Holla’

Radio 1’s Danny Howard has jumped onto Shadow Child & Kry Wolf’s Food imprint, releasing his first EP of the year with the double-tracker Work That / Holla.

Grab a listen below; both tracks are ripe and ready for clubland!

Listen: Rudimental – ‘Sun Comes Up’ (feat. James Arthur)

It’s been almost a year since Rudimental shared their white-labelled Healing, a track which took an about-turn from their more underground discography and instead paid homage to early Chicago-House-meets-60s-soul. On top of that, the song also gave us a glimpse of the direction of their anticipated third studio album too.

Today, another preview of that project lands, courtesy of a tie-in with James Arthur on Sun Comes Up. Whether indeed the song will appear on album no.3 is still to be confirmed, but heck, new Rudimental is still new Rudimental, right? And this one’s a bit of a summery jam too.

Video: Jamiroquai – ‘Superfresh’

Jamiroquai drop off the latest release from their recent Automaton LP, with the official video for Superfresh.

Catch it below:

Listen: Tourist – ‘We Stayed Up All Night’ (feat. Ardyn)

Tourist has returned for 2017 as he prepares for the onslaught of all-new music. Teaming up with vocalist Ardyn for We Stayed Up All Night, the track joins the producer’s upcoming releases as his “favourite music [he’s] produced so far”, with the sounds reflective of “who I am now and how my life has changed over the past year”.

Catch the vibey joint below:

Listen: Mura Masa – ‘Second 2 None’ (ft Christine And The Queens)

Mura Masa has shared another preview of his anticipated debut album, teaming up with Christine And The Queens for Second 2 None.

Premiered as Annie Mac’s latest BBC Radio 1 ‘Hottest Record’ earlier this evening, Second 2 None follows the producer’s recent packed show at Glastonbury’s Sonic Stage over the weekend, and comes after a string of hits from the youngster as he prepares for the release of his self-titled effort next month.

Alongside the album (and single), Mura Masa has also announced a string of October shows across the UK – tickets are still available and can be purchased via the link below, followed by the Second 2 None audio:

Watch Kano bring ‘3 Wheel-Ups’ to Glastonbury

0

Glastonbury 2017’s final night delivered some of the most difficult clashes of the weekend. Whilst many chose to hit up Ed Sheeran’s incredible Pyramid Stage headline performance, the likes of Kano, London Grammar, Boy Better Know and Justice all battled it out to close subsequent stages across the parkland, delivering one of the biggest dilemmas in Glastonbury history.

With all the above drawing in massive crowds (seriously it’s hard to imagine the scale of the place until you get there), it was Kano’s final hurrah that managed to nail Glastonbury for what it is – a thrill-seeking hour showcasing last year’s excellent Made In The Manor left thousands with grins on their faces, and it was as action-packed as performances go.

Catch K-A deliver 3 Wheel-Ups below; you can also watch the entirety of his set over on BBC’s iPlayer, here.
