Wonderland
WONDERLIST
Rachel Chinouriri and Cat Burns’ potent anthem, FINNEAS’ rich new record, and yunè pinku’s stylistic evolution: it’s Wonderlist!
Rachel Chinouriri ft. Cat Burns – “Even”
FINNEAS – For Cryin’ Out Loud
Multi Grammy and Academy Award-winning polymath FINNEAS has a lot more to his artistry than having a famous sister. He shares For Cryin’ Out Loud, a new studio album, a project that sees him explore wider sonic terrain, leaving behind his bedroom producer aesthetic and finding music solace in broader organic palettes. His piercing songwriting still remains, though.
Sampha – Lahai – Deluxe
Meticulous maverick Sampha delivered one of the last year’s best albums with Lahai. Marking the one year anniversary of the highly acclaimed record, he shares a deluxe cut, which features three gorgeous new tracks, as well as placing “Satellite Business 2.0”, his flawless Little Simz collaboration.
yunè pinku – “Midnight Oil”
From hotly-tipped producer and DJ to highly impressive singer-songwriter, yunè pinku is one of the most backable artists in London right now. Her new EP, “Midnight Oil” is dreamy, kaleidoscopic, and thoughtfully written, as pinku observes her own journey as an artist and as a person, taking stock of the past and looking into the future.
Jeshi – “Hurricane”
One of UK avant-rap’s most distinctive talents, Jeshi continues to progress his searing sonic sensibilities with each passing single. He shares a teaser from his upcoming album, “Hurricane”, a cut that enlists unmissable London singer-songwriter for a haunting hook and sees Jeshi deliver potent, visceral lyrical ideas.
Leon Vynehall – “Shellac”
Iconic producer, DJ and composer Leon Vynehall needs no introduction. The Ivor Novello nominated multi-disciplinarian unveils a new single, “Shellac’, that shifts his sonic direction whilst feeling wholly Vynehall-like, a commercially friendly but artistically fierce masterwork.
Keren Ilan – “Soon Summer’s Gone”
Singer-songwriter Keren Ilan introduces herself to the UK scene with a stunning release, “Soon Summer’s Gone”. Sentiment, rich and gorgeously performed, the artist’s new single is gently pursuing, a sunset scene ready to be experienced.
Lou Terry – “Calcium”
The final single from his highly anticipated new record Building A Case, landing 13th November, Deptford songwriter Lou Terry shares a progressive and potent track, “Calcium”. Moving through instrumental and tonal phases with a seamless intent, Terry’s rough and ready vocal performance and raw production amalgamate for a giving and grizzled opus.
Jesse James Solomon x TenBillion Dreams – “Blue Park”
UK underground rap mogul Jesse James Solomon has long been a stalwart of progression with the alt-leaning framework. Continuing his strong run of music, he’s linked up with revered producer TenBillion Dreams for a tender, thoughtful group of rap cuts on new EP “Blue Park”.
Nick Ward – “House With The Blue Door”
Australian pop front runner Nick Ward has shared his much anticipated, beautifully crafted debut album. Boasting an easy listening sound that clocks in at just over 30 minutes, it’s a gently perusing œuvre, few of wistful palettes and relatable lyrics.
Babymorocco – “Babestation”
Bringing hedonism fuelled electroclash goodness to a club aesthetic, London talent Babymorocco delivers a unique and boundary-pushing new cut “Babestation”. It’s gloriously ironic, wonderfully chaotic, and comes attached with a video featuring some amateur volleyball. Lovely.
O’Hara – “E”
A sprawling journey through the senses, O’Hara’s quietly maximalist new track is an intriguing experience. Inspired by Greek romance epics like Orpheus and Eurydice, it’s a wholly individualistic sonic and visual approach.
distraction4ever – Business Core
Montreal disruptors distraction4ever bring together a cacophony of influences on their fiercely creative sophomore album, Business Core. With a post-punk core and electro and hip hop tendencies—with a healthy dollop of Joy Division energy—it’s a truly interesting body of work that asks you to dive deep into your inner self.
