It’s been a moment since we’ve heard a peep from Tourist, but he’s now back, dropping the video for the title-track off his excellent studio record U.
Delivering a perfect post-3am ‘moment’ for the late-night cool kids, Tourist describes the track as “a song about reflection”, adding that the track was “formed from a field recording of me walking from my flat to my studio.”

Emily Eavis has confirmed further details of 2017’s Glastonbury Festival, by sharing the news that next year will mark the 10th anniversary of the farm’s Park Stage.
Announcing on her Instagram earlier today, the festival-curator confirmed that “some exciting surprises” will be on the cards to mark the event. Since its opening back in 2007, The Park has become synonymous with some of Glastonbury’s most-exciting acts, including Jamie xx, Biffy Clyro, Four Tet and James Blake.
Last week, Emily also confirmed that there will be another new addition for Glastonbury 2017, with a brand new immersive experience – more details are expected to follow over the coming months.
Glastonbury Festival returns to Worthy Farm from 21-25 June 2017.
Emeli Sande made her return to BBC2’s Later…With Jools Holland earlier this evening as she gears up for the release of her anticipated sophomore album Long Live The Angels.
Appearing some five years on from her debut outing on the show, Sande opened the episode with the album’s lead single Hurts, a track we’d highly place as one of our favourite songs of the year. Book-ending the show, Emeli then delivered the world’s first televised premiere of Highs and Lows, another song lifted off the new record.
Catch both performances below; meanwhile Long Live The Angels arrives on 11th November and can be preordered over on iTunes right away:

Lady Gaga has remained tight-lipped regarding her rumoured headline appearance at 2017’s Glastonbury Festival, telling NME “I don’t have permission to say anything about that”.
Speaking to the publication earlier today, Gaga’s hint adds further fuel to various rumours flying around, which also include Ed Sheeran and Foo Fighters joining the already-announced Radiohead as the final two Pyramid Stage headliners.
Last year, Emily Eavis also confirmed neither The Stone Roses nor Daft Punk will be hitting the main stage in 2017, however failed to attest whether either act will appear on Glastonbury’s other secondary venues (The Other Stage, West Holts etc).
More Glastonbury news as we hear it though based on Gaga’s recent spiel, we wouldn’t be surprised if she was announced to close the event on the Sunday night. Glastonbury 2017 runs from 21-25th June.
KDA and Tinashe’s Just Say has been absolutely smashing the dancefloors over the past few months, so it’s no surprise that the two have hooked up to create the track’s official video.

Stream them both below:
It’s been almost two years since we nodded toward Speelburg as one of ’15 for 2015: Ones To Watch‘, and it’s safe to say that since then, things have gone more ‘oh so quiet’ than Bjork!
However, after some time away trying his hand at being a movie scriptwriter, the US-born / French-raised / Brighton-based producer is now back, returning with Sauvage.
We’re massively feeling this one – grab a listen below:
