Watch Ariana Grande’s new video for ‘breathin’

0

Ariana Grande has lifted the lid on the music video for her ‘breathin’.

Taken from her latest studio album, ‘Sweetener’, the visual comes less than a week since the singer shared ‘thank u, next’, the title-track (and first song) from her upcoming new record of the same name.

Opening with Grande at a bar, the visual then sees the singer step foot into a train terminal, with some fans now suggesting that the bus departure board shares clues on the track-titles of her recently-announced album (‘Needy’, ‘Remember’ and ‘Imagine’ all crop up).

Listen: Erykah Badu shares ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Love’

0

Six years ago, Erykah Badu surprised fans by playing an unreleased song at her live shows. Titled ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Love’, the song (penned alongside The Cannabinoids), has been a live-only cut, but today Badu has shared what seems to be a more studio-focused rendition of the song.

Premiered during the mid-point of Badu’s ‘The Sound Of Green’ mix for London-based NTS Radio, the track comes ahead of her recently-announced US tour which will see her play various dates in December and February. She last graced the UK back in the summer when she headlined Lovebox Festival.

Grab a listen to ‘Money Can’t Buy Me Love’ below, at around the 1:05-mark:

Hear Tourist’s serene new single, ‘Someone Else’

Tourist has closed off 2018 with a slice of serenity, courtesy of his beautiful new song ‘Someone Else’.

Releasing the follow-up to September’s ‘Apollo‘ earlier today, the producer says of his latest endeavour, “Someone Else’ I guess is a dust clearing moment. It will probably make more sense in the context of more of my upcoming music, but I suppose this impressionistic piece is really the summation of my interest in indie music (whatever that means) and electronic music (whatever that means also)”.

Hear Monro’s gorgeous ‘The Middle’, featuring Syd B

0

Admittedly we’re fairly new when it comes to Monro, the British producer who seems to be doing absolute wonders with his Flume-esque take on British futuretronica. One quick glance at his Spotify finds a treasure trove of gorgeous gems, and today he shares his latest trippy vision, hooking up with LA’s Syd B for his vibey ‘The Middle’.

Quietly hitting streaming platforms earlier today, ‘The Middle’ follows April’s excellent ‘Gone Clear’, itself which came off the back of last year’s ‘Motion’ EP (we’d highly recommend checking out the Tayla-featuring ‘Daydreams‘, our highlight from the project).

Grab a listen to ‘The Middle’ below – shouts to Complex for the premiere too.
