Tiwa Savage heads up our playlist this week...
Tiwa Savage
Dangerous Love (Motown Island)
Already hailed “Queen of Afrobeat”, this new track from Tiwa Savage should extend her rule. Over smokey sax and sharp clicks, the Nigerian singer deliveries her intoxicating vocals which are subtle yet irresistible.

The Goa Express
Be My Friend (The Goa Express)
Bright, soaring indie from the Burnley five-piece that is both hectic and euphoric. Recently signed to Rough Trade Management, boarding this Express early is advised.

Kaytranada (Ft Lucky Daye)
Look Easy (RCA)
Flittering, wisp-like synths enliven the Haitian Canadian’s brooding beats and tortured vocals. It’s a strong marker as Kaytranada prepares to follow up 2019 album Bubba.

Asylums

Am I Missing Something (Rough Trade Records)
The world has missed Jarvis Cocker’s urgent whispers over a cinematic soundtrack. This from the just released Beyond The Pale matches the desperate elan of Pulp’s best.

Diana DeMuth
Into My Arms (Thirty Tigers)
A bolting mix of alt-country arrangements, smart wordplay and a heart-swelling chorus, arms everywhere should open to welcome Massachusetts songwriter Diana DeMuth.
