As they set to embark their sold-out UK tour in support of their third studio album I See You, The xx have shared the official video for the record’s second single, Say Something Loving.
Shot in London and directed by Alasdair McLellan, The xx describe the visual as a celebration of their hometown, which sees them “revisit some of the places that remind us of our friendship, when we were growing up”.
We first caught sight of Wrabel back in 2015 with his eargasmic I Want You, yet for some reason, he still hasn’t captured the attentions of the masses. Sure last year’s 11 Blocks was pretty big Stateside, however here’s hoping his new one Bloodstain helps transcend him across borders….. And there’s no reason why it shouldn’t either – the track has all the earmarks of pop meets futuretronic soul, and with its compelling story underlined by an infectious chorus, we doubt it’d take long for you to reach for that replay button.
Cirque Du Soul’s El Dorado Festival is set to return for a second year later this summer, with a line-up that could put even the likes of Glastonbury’s Silver Hayes to shame.
Headed up by Groove Armada, the Herefordshire 4-dayer will also see the likes of SG Lewis, Zak Abel and Bondax among the proceedings, with Redlight, Dusky and Jax Jones also among the notable names.
Additionally, you can expect to see the likes of TQD, the newly formed supergroup from Royal T, DJ Q and Flava D bringing in the crowds, whilst hip-hop royalty The Sugarhill Gang will make a rare UK appearance too.
El Dorado Festival runs from 30th June to 3rd July 2017 at Ledbury’s Eastnor Castle Deer Park. Tickets go onsale this coming Monday (13th March) direct from El Dorado’s official website. Check the full line-up below:
Jon Bellion may be known more for his songwriting skills (Eminem & Rihanna’s Monster and Jason Derulo’s Trumpets, to name but two), however his debut studio album The Human Condition, which hears Bellion stepping into the forefront, is a marvel by all accounts. One track that was hard to avoid when the record dropped last year was All Time Low, and now it’s been re-released, this time with a guest verse from Stormzy. Do not sleep on this one guys, it’s incredible!
Nicki Minaj has dropped a triple assault of new music, under the guise of #3PackFromPARIS.
Consisting of a solo (Regret In Your Tears), the other two tracks hear Nicki reunite with Lil Wayne (Changed It) and Drake (No Frauds, which also features Weezy).
As he approaches the midway point to his Starboy World Tour, The Weeknd has shared the official video for the project’s I Feel It Coming, Abel’s second collaboration with Daft Punk.
Featuring a starring role for the robots themselves, the clip is as surreal as they come, with a stark throwback to pre-HD 80s videos, and a protagonist where The Weeknd is transported to a desolate planet, morphing into a statue, with the Daft Punk boys locating him toward the outro.
Recently signed Ministry Of Sound-inductee Alex Ross has shared his new single, enlisting Dakota (of Jonas Blue’s ‘Fast Car’ fame) and T-Pain for Dreams, a 2017 rework of Gabrielle’s 90s classic of the same name.
Sampling tracks from ‘yesteryear’ can indeed be a risky business, but Chris Malinchak pulls it off pretty well with his new single Magic, a slice of feel-good electro-soul-house that reworks snippets of Blossom Dearie’s 1950’s track, They Say It’s Spring.
Toward the start of last year, we championed Mabel as a shining star, listing her as one of our 2016 ‘Ones To Watch’, however after sharing Thinking Of You and her breakout Know Me Better, things went a little quiet on the young artist. Today though, the 21 year old returns with a new single, EP and a forthcoming London headline show.
Finders Keepers, the lead joint from her soon-to-follow Bedroom EP hears Mabel unite with East Londonite Kojo Funds to deliver an infectious R&B and tropical cut, inspired by a wealth of her long-held heroes such as Drake and Rihanna.
Alongside the reveal of both the single, plus the Bedroom project, Mabel has also confirmed plans to hit up Village Underground on 1st June. Tickets are onsale now direct from Ticketmaster; meanwhile you can also stream Finders Keepers, below:

Norwegian production team Stargate have returned after a long hiatus with Waterfall, the first single in what’s expected to be a long run of all-new music.
Featuring Sia and Pink alongside co-writing credits from Diplo, Waterfall continues on Stargate’s big-hitter collaborations from the past, including Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable and extensive work with Rihanna on Rude Boy, Don’t Stop The MusicS&M, Diamonds and more.
