RELEASES

đŸ„°
Zara Larsson has announced that she will release new album ‘Venus’ on 9 Feb. Alongside the news, she’s put out new David Guetta-produced track â€˜On My Love’.
🖕
Speaking of David Guetta, he has released new single â€˜Big FU’ featuring Ayra Starr and Lil Durk.
⁉
The Kid Laroi has released new single â€˜What Just Happened’. The track is taken from new album ‘The First Time’, which is out on 10 Nov.
đŸ‘¶
Madness have released new single â€˜Baby Burglar’. “The story behind ‘Baby Burglar’ is actually quite a funny one”, say the band. “It's about [saxophonist] Lee [Thomson] finding a midnight meddler loose in his house and how it reminded him of his younger self and all the shenanigans we used to get up to when we were whippersnappers”.
đŸ„¶
Everything Everything have announced that they will release new album ‘Mountainhead’ on 1 Mar. Out now is new single â€˜Cold Reactor’, which frontman Jonathan Higgs says is “about striving for an advanced future and exponential growth at the cost of our own personal worlds and mental wellbeing. Lives lived through screens and isolation, leading to disconnected and emotionless reactions in the form of symbols”.
💡
Mxmtoon has released new single â€˜The Idea of You (Revisited)’ from upcoming new EP ‘Plum Blossom (Revisited)’, which is out on 10 Nov.
🎃
Spector have released new single â€˜Driving Home For Halloween’. The title “isn’t just a terrible Chris Rea pun”, insists frontman Fred Macpherson. “It’s a song about life, death and love in the time of Find My Friends. If ‘Goosebumps’ books were romance novels this might be what they sound like. It’s for everyone whose life feels static even with the world turning on its axis at a thousand miles an hour”.
đŸ—“ïž
LULU. has released new single â€˜Yesterdays’, featuring The Joy.
