Audio: KDA – ‘Just Say’ (feat. Tinashe) (Remix EP 1)

Last week we revealed KDA’s own rework of his recent collaboration with Tinashe on Just Say, the first of four new remixes of the track that’s already won accolades as a fine follow-up to his Turn The Music Louder (Rumble) debut.

Today however comes the rest of the remix bundle, which features some pretty slick edits from the likes of Kabuki, XOYO-resident Joshua James and dance legend Ashley Beedle.

Bump the full package below; KDA’s also working away on a full-length album so expect more music to follow over the coming months:

At her Apple Music Festival debut on Tuesday night, Alicia Keys teased further info regarding anticipated sixth studio album, promising the project is “coming so, so, so soon”.

Of the record, Alicia added to the hype, saying that the follow-up to 2012’s Girl on Fire is “really the most purposeful and most intentional that I’ve ever written music before, ever, and it’s all about New York City in so many ways, which is why I’m bringing you into my world a little bit”; Keys then shared She Don’t Really Care, performing the track for the first time in the UK.

The Weeknd has announced his new album ‘Starboy’ and shared the project’s new artwork

0

Over the past couple of days, eagle-eyed fans of The Weeknd would have noticed something of a complete blackout on his social accounts, deleting all his Instagram pictures whilst changing his bio to purely read ‘Starboy’.

Well today everything has come clear – Starboy has now been confirmed as the title of Abel’s third anticipated record, which is expected to drop at some point before the year is out.

Whilst there’s been no mention as to when we’re likely to hear snippets of any new material, it’s been widely-known that The Weeknd’s been in the studio over the past few months, particularly with Diplo and Skrillex (Abel’s expected to feature on the forthcoming second Jack U record). Additionally his omission from Rihanna’s recent ‘ANTI World Tour’ was apparently due to his requirements to complete the new record.

The full Starboy artwork can be seen below; more of this as and when we hear it!

Audio: Jordan Rakei – ‘Midnight Mischief’ (Tom Misch Remix)

Tom Misch has dropped off his soothing remix of frequent-collaborator Jordan Rakei’s Midnight Mischief, lifted off Rakei’s impressive Cloak project.
