Hits of the Week — Featuring Lana Del Rey, Quavo and more
Lana Del Rey, Quavo – ‘Tough’
Who would’ve thought songstress Lana Del Rey and Migos alumnus Quavo would make such an angelic duo? This latest collaboration, ‘Tough’, sees the unlikely pair take on a country-trap hybrid perfect for those late summer nights spent reminiscing. A modern love song bursting with character and chemistry — what’s not to love?
The Streets – ‘Boxing In Slow Motion’
Mike Skinner’s had quite the summer: there was his defining Glastonbury set, and now the icon has released a body of work with Fabric — the legendary UK club — to commemorate 25 years of the institution. ‘Boxing in Slow Motion’ is our personal favourite, offering everything we love about The Streets, from its experimental production to Skinner’s instantly recognisable poetic delivery.
Jim Legxacy – ‘Nothing’s Changed’
There’s no one making music in the UK scene quite like Jim Legxacy. The rapper/singer’s first release of the year offers a heartbreaking tribute to his late sister, who tragically passed away last year. Providing his typically genre-bending sonics and angelic vocals, Jim has created yet another truly unmissable release.
Rosie Lowe – ‘In My Head’
Genre-elusive and highly captivating singer-songwriter and producer Rosie Lowe is back with a breath of stylistic fresh air. ‘In My Head’ is sparse and striking sonically, driven by an almost Stone Roses-esque drum pattern, while Lowe’s vocal is simply too cool for school.
Burna Boy – ‘Higher’
Grammy-winner and global superstar Burna Boy is ageing like fine wine. His music continues to reach new heights, now broader and deeper than before. ‘Higher’, his new one, is personal and motivational, an ode to his roots and a spotlight on his heritage.
