This week's hottest new sounds...

MADISON BEER
Stained Glass (Sing It Loud/First Access Entertainment/Epic)

ALISON MOSSHART
Rise (Domino)
Intense, stormy and nerve-jangling, the debut single proper from Alison Mosshart builds to an almighty crescendo. Wonder what else is up her sleeve?

DRAKE
Toosie Slide (OVO/Republic)
Tailored for TikTok and curated for quarantine, Toosie Slide comes with its own dance and a video that finds Drake wandering aimlessly around his house. We’ve all been there, mate.
