A delicate pop song, the track shows off Rita’s beaut vocals over an EDM tinted backing. Speaking on the song, Rita says, “I was in a routine, working every day, and found myself day dreaming about breaking out of the city and going on a road trip with my friends and never looking back. This is pop at its sweetest, most persuasive form of escapism.”

Woodes – “Dots”

Melbourne maverick Woodes has just dropped a bewitching pop banger. “Dots” is a melodic masterpiece, highlighting her stunning voice and chillingly good songwriting. Inspired by her travels, Woodes describes the track as being able to transport her to different places she has visited whilst still always feeling close to home: “When I listen to ‘Dots’ I see different terrains, different parts of the world. No matter where I am I find little sparks from human connections and landscapes. No matter where I travel to I’m still connected to home.”

Naughty Boy feat. Joe Jonas – “One Chance To Dance”

Fresh off of looking like an absolute HUN on the cover of Rollacoaster’s Autumn/Winter 17 Issue, Joe Jonas is back with a banger. Featuring on superstar producer Naughty Boy’s latest track “One Chance To Dance”, the Jo-Bro and DNCE frontman delivers a brilliant vocal performance, describing asking the object of his affection for a dance. “’One Chance To Dance’ was inspired by Michael Jackson songs,” Naughty Boy says. “But it’s about not being as good as Michael Jackson. I was thinking about his songs and a new pop tune that would reflect that era of music and that’s why it has a sort of old school sound to it.” Taken from Naughty Boy’s upcoming album, we can’t wait to see what else he has up his sleeve.

Butter – “Lifted”

Bizarre and brilliant, “Lifted” is the newest immaculate slice of indie pop from Butter, aka the “pastel alter ego” of songwriter Lola Blanc. An off-kilter pop banger, it’s weird and wonderful and we can’t get enough. Totally catchy and amazingly fun, you’re going to be playing it on repeat all week.
