Bakar teams up with Lancey Foux to create a refreshingly conceptual piece of RnB that is immediately captivating.
Bakar – Play (feat. Lancey Foux)
New Music: stef
A dark and stripped-back approach to pop that feels subdued yet still carries a powerful emotive essence.
Easton – it’s not over ’til it’s over
New Music: Julie Pavon
Melii – You Ain’t Worth It
New Music: Amun
A hugely exciting British RnB talent whose melodic vocals are instantly captivating, Amun is making a name for herself as one to watch in 2021.
If you’re wondering why the song sounds so flawless, it’s been co-written by Kabba alongside the Grammy nominated (and Alfitude favourite) songwriter and artist MNEK.
Tribe Friday – drugs x boys x drugs
The Swedish indie-pop outfit are back with a song that could have easily come from the mid 90’s UK Britpop scene, and yet somehow it still feels mega fresh.
New Music: bshp
This is the kind of sass-heavy bubblegum pop that is near impossible not to vibe along and fall in love with.
Alex Mali – 5 Star
The exceptionally talented Brooklyn singer songwriter Alex Mali releases a song that is not only melodically stunning but continues through with her theme of writing women empowerment anthems that promote standing in power and freedom of expression.
Check out the EP ‘Phenom‘ which is out now.
Julie Bergan – We’re Coming Up
One of the most epic pieces of Scandinavian pop that I have experienced so far this week, from one of Norway’s biggest names.
Taken from the album ‘HARD FEELINGS’ which is out now.
New Music: Jack Omstead
Toronto-born artist Jack Omstead creates a fresh kind of RnB-pop that feels very future-forward, yet still has a playful undertone. It’s a unique style which keeps his sound feeling current and captivating, and I for one am mildly obsessed with his releases.
A.CHAL – WHO U
The Peruvian-born singer, songwriter, and producer continues to deliver some of the finest blends of dark pop and RnB.
Watch: Gaidaa – OMG
I very rarely feature live edits of tracks, but this is so beautifully unique and unexpected that it just has to be heard.
The Dutch-Sudanese songstress that is Gaidaa took on Usher’s noughties classic ‘OMG‘ and turned it into the most finessed slice of RnB you could ever wish for.
Taken from the new EP ‘COLORS Live in NYC’ which is out now.
Everyone You Know – Charlie
Track of the week. Featuring a lyric sample from The Streets’ ‘Weak Become Heroes’, this new release from EYK is giving you everything you need; a pulsating beat matched with intriguing lyricism and a dark essence of intensity.
“It’s essentially a story about a woman’s relationship with ‘Charlie’ (you can interpret that how you like) over a darker club beat. We had a lot of fun making this record so we hope you lot enjoy it.”
New Music: JAEL
A hugely talented Netherlands-raised artist and producer with a natural flair for creating smooth and soulful sounds.
“This song is for people who are having a tough time starting a relationship with their fling. The guy feels comfortable having a thing with this girl, but he’s not yet ready to open up to her and commit.”
This track also features Foolie $urfin.
Georgia Twinn – I Don’t Mind
I don’t have much to say
Whenever your away
I hope we find a way to
Find a way through
Back to me again
Nicki Nicole, Dread Mar I, Bizarrap – Verte
Singer-songwriter and rapper Nicki Nicole is already a massively established name in her native Argentina, with three top 10 singles, over 6 million Instagram followers, 430 million YouTube views and 400 million streams worldwide.
Now also gaining a Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best New Artist, it seems global domination is inevitable.
“For me, ‘Verte’ is a dream collaboration. I never imagined being able to share a studio with Dread Mar I and Biza. I honestly couldn’t believe I was doing a song with Dread Mar I, produced by Bizarrap. ‘Verte’ was created in an hour or so. When we finished, it made us feel so many things. We couldn’t stop singing, dancing. I think we played it like 45 times that night.”
Seeb – Feel It Again (feat. Dan Caplen & Svidden)
With billions of streams and over 70 gold & platinum certifications globally, it’s safe to say that Seeb are one of the world’s hottest dance acts right now.
This new release features RnB singer-songwriter Dan Caplan and Swedish songwriter and producer Svidden.
“The song is about looking back on your life to when you were younger and longing for the days when the world seemed endless, full of possibilities and how you wished you could relive those moments again. The way the song came together ended up being an ironic nod to the song itself. The thought of being six people in a studio seems so far fetched in today’s climate and is now something we can’t wait to do again.” – Seeb

The Rubens – Masterpiece
Australian indie-pop quintet The Rubens return with a track that will stay in your head all day; a song that’s all about letting go of someone, who in hindsight you wish you hadn’t.
“The song is about giving someone up, the doubt and eventual regret in realising you got it wrong.”
Taken from new album ‘0202’ which is due 12th February 2021.
