Thomas Headon – Georgia
Breakout musician Thomas Headon is back with a brand new single ‘‘Georgia’’, out now via Warner Records. Announcing the single at his recent sold-out headline show at London’s 2000-cap O2 Forum Kentish Town to a frenzy of screaming fans, ‘‘Georgia’’ captures youthful romance in all its forms and is another clear example of why Thomas keeps on rising.
Mahalia – Bag of you
Grammy-nominated R&B star Mahalia returns with a deeply touching single ‘‘Bag Of You’’ available now via Atlantic Records. Produced by JD Reid, Mahalia hones in on her signature style as she writes about the nitty gritty of everyday life, managing to make the unremarkable remarkable as she illuminates the mundane.
Matt Taylor – Stay
Matt Taylor just shared his electrifying and captivating new single ‘‘Stay’’. It sounds like a sucker punch of unapologetic and anthemic pop. Arriving hot on the heels of his sophomore EP, Stay marks a new chapter for this ever-evolving, artist on the rise. In a press statement, the musician argued that : ‘‘’Stay’’ was written in the aftermath of my last EP, when I wanted to get away from all the lil sad boy vibes & enter my dancing fiend era. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this good on my own. It’s been so freeing to have more time to invest in friendships and myself.’’
Jockstrap – Greatest hits
London-based duo Jockstrap (Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye) have shared the video for ‘‘Greatest Hits’’, taken from their critically acclaimed debut full-length record ‘‘I Love You Jennifer B’’ – out now via Rough Trade Records. The video, directed by FKA Twigs’ Caprisongs visual collaborator Aidan Zamiri, charts a fictitious show trial between two eccentric pop icons and features a cast of cameos close to the Jockstrap project.
MEYY – Blush
MEYY creates a sonic that conjures a truly immersive world for her listeners and speaks on the all-encompassing feeling of falling in love. It’s playful, cheeky and addictive; a crush in musical form. New single ‘’Blusg’’ is accompanied by an incredible lyric video that plays into the digital nature of the song by melting MEYY’s 3D body scans with gaming and anime visuals.
The Blaze – Dreamer
French electronic producer duo is back with a brand new single Dreamer from their upcoming second album which will be out in 2023. The track comes with a stunning video that confirms their highlight aesthetic taste. To catch them live, they will be touring in London, Paris and Berlin as from March 2023.
10 kr – Consent
Copenhagen-based artist 10 kr just released his debut single Consent, a dance track produced by DJ Ridler, aka Becoming Real that talks about an addiction to a power exchange relationship. A music video will come later which will be a clear reference to the classic gay porn Czech Hunter. And if you are wondering why his stage name is 10kr, the artist explained that “10 kr is how much I’d dare to charge from my Only Fans if I opened an account”.
