This week's hottest new sounds...
NORMANI
Motivation (Keep Cool/RCA)
With a high class video recalling the hyper-choreographed golden age that was the early noughties, Normani’s first single under her own name is a dizzying delight. Super-stardom surely beckons.

MICHAEL KIWANUKA
You Ain’t The Problem (Polydor)
Stomping drums, B-movie backing vocals and a ludicrously irresistible groove accompany the Londoner’s return ahead of third album Kiwanuka in October.

With assaulting cymbals, arresting guitar drops and the best bit of hollering you’ll hear all year, Girl Band are taking no prisoners here.

PVRIS
Hallucinations (Warner Records/Reprise)
The gothic Massachusetts crew amp up anticipation ahead of their new EP with some crunching yet floor-friendly beats and distorted vocals.

Turning up the heat ahead of upcoming LP Charli, the pop monolith teams up with Sky Ferreira on a song cooler than you could ever dream of being.

THE MURDER CAPITAL
More Is Less (Human Season)
