WONDERLIST

SAHRA and Muse make some noise in this week’s playlist roundup.

SAHRA – “Sorry”

Depending on how your bank holiday weekend is going so far, you may or may not be looking for an adequate dosage of respite. Luckily, SAHRA’s hotly dropped single “Sorry” comes packed with immaculate vibes, soul-soaked vocals and awe-inspiring lyricism. Lamenting the breakdown of a relationship where an apology no longer suffices, SAHRA delivers a performance that reclaims her power — with the calm rhythm and flow of a truly unproblematic romantic.

Muse – “Will of the People”

One rock band doing the most to prove their stratospheric range is Muse, who have just dropped their new single “Will of the People” – the third song of their forthcoming album of the same name. Building a chest pounding intensity with its gritty guitar strings and unwavering base, the track commands a sense of societal uproar — bringing into question whether the people really have “will”. On the tracks music video, Matt Bellamy says, “‘Will of the People’ is fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought ‘fuck this.’”
