GENER8ION – Neo surf feat 070 Shake
GENER8ION is a multidisciplinary collaborative project led by producer and composer Surkin and director Romain Gavras. The concept takes place in 2034, in a disillusioned and damaged world, with puzzling poetry embodied by idle youth and underlying violence. After a first EP released in 2016, GENER8ION makes his comeback with “Neo Surf” featuring Kayne West’s close collaborator 070 Shake. It comes along with a wonderful video directed by Romain Gavras, shot in Athens.
Anjimile – Stranger
Raised in Dallas and now based in North California, Anjimile has just signed to mythical label 4AD. His new single “Stranger,” is freshly out and it’s about a confrontation between their trans identity. Anjimile said in a statement. “I started testosterone about 3 or 4 years ago, and It’s been simultaneously liberating and alarming to note the changes to my mind and body over the years…‘Stranger’ is an admission to myself that, while I welcome all of those changes”
Metronomy – It’s good to be back
Following their previous album “Metronomy Forever” in 2019, one of the coolest and prolific bands of the UK, Metronomy is coming back on February 18th with a seventh record “Small World”. Freshly released, “It’s Good To Be Back” is a feel-good indie-pop track exploring their sense of humor and its video feels like the band is redefining their ascetic pop culture mood.
Snoh Aalegra – Neon peach ft. Tyler The Creator
LA-based Swedish singer and songwriter Snoh Aalegra rose to fame when her latest album “Ugh, Those Feels Again” came out in 2019.

Majid Jordan – Stars align feat Drake
Drake signed Toronto-based duo of Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman mainly known as Majid Jordan on his label OVO Sound. Their third studio album “Wildest Dreams” just came out including a collaboration with Drake himself. It’s a smooth and sexy R’n’B track with some 90s vibes. Such a pleasant song!
Shygirl – Cleo
If you love Arca’s experimental pop you should definitely listen to UK rapper-producer Shygirl. Following the release of her latest single featuring Slowthai and her short movie “BLU”, she just dropped “Cleo”.
