It’s just Miley now, Lisa’s fired up, Adéla’s going for icon status, and next-gen rapper DC3 calls on a friendly favour from the crown.

Miley – “Bass Persuades”

In Miley’s new era, the “Bass Persuades”. Ahead of the announcement of her forthcoming tenth studio album with the same title and two headline shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October, she’s keeping the beat luring and the bass booming. On this bouncy track, it’s a nod to that infectious ‘80s disco-esque pop sound that couldn’t quite be defined – much like the Grammy Award-winner herself. A punch of punk, a dash of funk, a country twang, soulful riffs and belts, and lyrics that will be stuck in your head, our Wonderland Summer cover star is back, and she doesn’t need to persuade you of that fact. The groovy bass will do that…

LISA – “SaWaDiKa”

Thai rapper-singer Lisa is ready to “Press Play” on her next chapter with her October-releasing EP. To commemorate the occasion, she drops “SaWaDiKa”, a Thai greeting for “Hello”. On the track, Lisa returns to her rap roots, standing — or dancing — firmly on that fire and feist that she quickly became adorned for. With a thumping beat, ascending into drill-like rhythms, going bar for bar with herself, this is a greeting you don’t want to miss.

ADÉLA – “Nicole Kidman”

Not only is “Nicole Kidman” a stellar actress; she’s also Adéla’s spirit mother, it appears. On this glamour-fused, bass-bouncing track that flows between an R&B and trap melody, the Slovakian pop princess’s vocals glitter over the grit, showcasing her artistic prowess and that, in her campaign to become PRIMA, she won’t be confined. She does “feel like Nicole”, after all.

Master Peace feat. Muni Long – “act like you know”

Master Peaces wants you to “act like you know” on this silky and summery collaboration with “Made For Me”’s Muni Long. Blending his signature guitar-driven sound with Long’s twinkling vocals, the South London artist finds a sweet spot between indie-rock, R&B and pop. As the latest glimpse into his forthcoming album if i don’t love you, who will ?, the track hints at a more expansive side of Master Peace, where the guitars remain, but he’ll never be one to stay in a single lane.

Black Sherif feat. Full Blown – “Love Again”

If you’re in the mood for a good time no matter where you are, Black Sherif’s new EP “Sun Sherif” might be one to give a spin. Featuring the track “Love Again” with Trinidad and Tobago musical and production duo Full Blown, we get vibes so upbeat you have no other choice but to bob your head and dance along. 

Pip Millett – “Soon Enough”

Pip Millett is back with her first new music since 2024, and “Soon Enough” feels like a pretty perfect reintroduction. The track is soft and soulful, with Pip’s vocals sitting over dreamy melodies as she gets into themes of grief, forgiveness and growing up. It’s an emotional one, but never feels too heavy, and if you’re already a Pip fan, this is definitely one to have on repeat.

Jordan Adetunji – “Distraction”

Let Belfast-born artist Jordan Adetunji’s newest single be your biggest “Distraction” this Friday. After spending the past year between the UK and US working alongside Young Thug and the wider YSL camp, Adetunji is gearing up for a new chapter, one that is darkly sweet and bubbling with sultry melodies and lyricisms full of yearning. 

DC3 – “KUNTA IN UK”

New-gen rapper DC3 unpacks what it is to be “KUNTA IN UK” with this layered and impactful track. With features from fellow British rap great Stormzy, embedding samples from Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”, it’s a powerful and compelling song that emphasises the importance of the UK’s multiculturalism and DC3’s experience with it while growing up in the country. Inspired by Roots: The Saga An American family, it’s complex but clear, concise but with a captivating sonic cadence, playful but honestly, and perhaps most importantly, an anthem of strength and unyielding creative expression.

Karrahbooo feat. Monaleo – “WYO”

With Monaleo’s help, rapper Karrahbooo is brash, playful and completely unbothered on “WYO”, the swaggering focus track from Karrahbooo’s debut solo EP, “Not Da 2!” Trading quick bars while asking the only question that matters: “What (are) you on?”, the pair make nonchalance sound anthemic. 

Logic 1000 feat. Christine and the Queens – “The Only One”

Australian DJ and producer Logic 1000 doesn’t want to be “The Only One” with hope for the future (and generations) to come. On this whirling, euphoric track, dance is the visual and sentiment, but hope is the message. With the vocal glittering of Christine and the Queens to simmer over the top of this pulsing yet emotive melody, it’s a tug on both one’s feet and heart. Sometimes the only remedy for hope is to dance.

Spike F*ck – “HAD YOUR WAY”

With his long-awaited album evidence on the horizon, Spike F*ck gives us another preview into the project with “Had Your Way”. As one of the underground’s most mysterious and illustrious acts, the Australian artist shares a rather theatrical and melancholic track, blending glam, new wave and soul. 

Spanish Horses – “HEY MAN (HEY MAN!)”

London, there’s a new band amongst us! Formed in Paris and consisting of both British and French members, Spanish Horses is the new, hottest ticket in town and their latest song “Hey Man (Hey Man!)” proves it. It’s a breezy, Americana-tinged strummy track that supports the band’s break out from daily routine. 

Johnny Venus – “Nightmares”

A haunting exploration of love at its most consuming, “Nightmares” finds Johnny Venus caught between devotion and obsession, tracing the sleepless nights, racing thoughts, and emotional unrest that can come with giving yourself completely to another person. Produced by Courtlin Jabrae and Poplord, “Nightmares” is the next single taken from Johnny’s upcoming debut solo album and pairs his emotionally exposed songwriting with a moody, immersive soundscape that captures the tension between the beauty of falling deeply in love and the fear that accompanies having something worth losing.

163Margs – “Serena Williams”

163Margs returns to the sound sphere with new groove-ridden new cut “Serena Williams”, continuing to showcase the energy and culture awareness that have become his trademark. Following a prolific first half of 2026, “Serena Williams” marks a bold new chapter for the rapid-rising UK talent as hard-hitting percussive elements and trademark woozy basskicks lay the perfect foundation for melodic synth lines and smart piano keys to weave between, before the young lyricist enters with the punchy lyricism, sharp wordplay and effortless confidence that truly set him apart from his peers. 

Øneheart – “internetisNOTsafe”

Through an extensive chorus of electronic textures – from futuristic synths and robotic vocal samples to the crisp drum machine that builds towards the drop – electronic wunderkind Øneheart delivers a euphoric, hyperpop anthem outlining a tumultuous relationship with the internet, the dangers of how a once valuable tool can quickly become a source of anxiety. “internetisNOTsafe” also features Øneheart’s own vocals, marking another step away from the largely instrumental work he first became known for and further expanding the project’s new sonic direction

DJ HEARTSTRING feat. Sam Gellaitry – “So Many Things”

Summer may be over but DJ Heartstring is trying to make that feeling last, tapping Scotland’s very own Sam Gellaitry for their newest track “So Many Things To Say”. A pop-leaning tune, it’s a song that gives that euphoric, dance floor feeling that can live both inside and outside of the club. 

My First Time – “Every Version Of You”

My First Time are back with another slice of indie electro. “Every Version Of You” digs into that very relatable idea that somewhere out there is a better, happier, more complete version of yourself, while the one you’re currently living as is stuck on the corporate hamster wheel. With a suitably frantic video shot in a disused military base, the video mirrors the intensity of the track. The Bristol post-punk band is also heading out on their biggest headline tour yet this October, with dates across the UK, France and the Netherlands.

Kevin Holliday – “Strange”

Kevin Holliday effortlessly slides across “Strange” with the kind of woozy, sun-kissed aesthetics you’d expect while navigating fleeting connections before summer’s end. The Brooklyn native creates a hazy, inviting moment of clarity and self-realisation, contrasted only by his honest pen to firmly introduce the infectious sounds of his forthcoming, self-produced album, ‘Garden,’ to follow later this year.

Ms* Gloom – Hi, Society 

Ms* Gloom’s “Hi, Society” gets a complete rethink from Texas singer and producer Quiet Light, who strips back the original’s layers of synths and electronic sounds for something much softer. There’s a gorgeous piano line, gentle percussion and just enough of Ms* Gloom’s vocals to keep that dreamy, slightly otherworldly feeling intact. It’s a totally different take on the track, but somehow works just as well.

Overgrown – “Lay Cold”

With his long-awaited album evidence on the horizon, Spike F*ck gives us another preview into the project with “Had Your Way”. As one of the underground’s most mysterious and illustrious acts, the Australian artist shares a rather theatrical and melancholic track, blending glam, new wave and soul. 

Matilda Mann – “Chain Reaction”

London’s Matilda Mann is back with her second album, Kismet, and the first track “Chain Reaction” is a pretty good place to start. It’s about that feeling of falling for someone when you least expect it. Across Kismet, Mann explores new love, fate and all the people and little moments that make life feel good, with a warmer feel than her debut Roxwell.

Ellen Krauss – “I Roll My Eyes”

“I Roll My Eyes” is Swedish singer-songwriter Ellen Krauss’s latest musical proclamation — and she’s turning things up a notch ahead of her album release next year. On this pop jingle, she wobbles in the grey area between desiring excitement and spontaneity while needing safety in a romantic relationship. Sonically, however, she’s precise; mirroring that tension with warm vocals cascading a stark melody.
