Sound Off: 10 Songs You Need to Hear Now

Song of the week: Kehlani - "Folded"

Kehlani has returned with a gorgeous, typically empathy-filled track that plays a little like a more generous version of Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”. Her smoky vocals drip with kindness across this breakup song, which defies the usual conventions of a breakup anthem.

Neggy Gemmy - "Blue Eye See Through"

Neggy Gemmy tries out ‘90s hip-hop on this scratchy, haunted new cut from her forthcoming record.

John Maus - "I Hate Antichrist"

John Maus’s first new song in six-odd years, and first song for storied electronic label Young, is as funny and freaky as it should be.

LSDXOXO - "PAPARAZZI"

A divine electro-house anthem from the king of the genre, whose icy vocals are cutting and deliriously bitchy.

Mark Ronson, Raye - "Suzanne"

Mark Ronson returns to his soul roots on this gorgeous new track that he and Raye recorded for ... Audemars Piguet? Whatever works, right?

Kevin Abstract, Dominic Fike - "Geezer"

Sunny day dirtbag pop from the former Brockhampton leader and Dominic Fike, a match made in heaven.

BAYLI - "all of that"

BAYLI continues to turn out cunty club anthems, and for that we thank her.

Lyra Pramuk - "Oracle"

The Berlin-based musician has levelled up on her new album Hymnal, which is grand and deeply emotional.

AJ Tracey - "3rd Time Lucky"

Speaking of emotional: This cut from AJ Tracey’s new one is surprisingly mournful, and offers insight on ageing.

Leon Bridges - "Hold On"

This unreleased cut from Leon Bridges’ debut album gives raw insight into that now-beloved record.
