Tove Lo – “Cool Girl”

Few popstars can document terrible relationships as well as Tove Lo can. “Cool Girl”, which is lifted from Tove Lo’s as yet untitled sophomore album, was apparently inspired by Gone Girl. With Tove Lo Singing “You can run free/ I won’t hold it against you/ You do your thing/ Never wanted a future” over dreamy house beat, you’ll struggle to dislodge this anthem to giving up from your mind.

Banks – “Gemini Feed”

Banks’ inevitable rise to pop superstardom continues with latest single “Gemini Feed”.

South London duo A.O.S.O.O.N. has shared new track “Good Enough”. Self-described as “gansta folk”, the duo cite Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu as influences, laid back musical vibes with plenty to say. “Good Enough” is released by Goon & Goblin

Jacques Greene – “You Can’t Deny”

Jacques Greene, one of dance music’s most enigmatic talents, has kept us waiting for new material for two long years but now he’s back with the faultless “You Can’t Deny”. Easily one of the most influential producers of the last ten years, “You Can’t Deny” is a reminder of what we’ve been missing.

Tessa Rae – “Dreamland”

Oakland born, LA based artist Tessa Rae returns with her second track, the aptly titled “Dreamland”. Describing the track, Rae says: “Dreamland” is about wanting to escape the cards you’ve been dealt and take your fate into your own hands.
