Arctic Monkeys – Opening Night. From HELP(2)
Arctic Monkeys quietly steal the opening scene on HELP(2) with their brand new track titled Opening Night. A restrained, cinematic cut that sets the tone for War Child’s urgent new compilation. No grandstanding, just purpose.
Kamal. – How The Fuck Does Everybody Else Manage?
Kamal taps into the quiet chaos of modern coping on “How The Fuck Does Everybody Else Manage?” — a stripped-back, brutally honest track that turns late-night doubt into something strangely comforting.
FAUZIA – The Way
FAUZIA returns with a subtle, shape-shifting double single on Local Action — her first solo release in four years, blending downtempo pop, compositional finesse and quiet emotional weight.
Robyn – Sexistential
Robyn returns with Sexistential, a fearless and euphoric pop album that reclaims pleasure, vulnerability and the dancefloor after Honey.
Introducing : supermodel*
There’s a special kind of confidence in not trying to be cool, and Beanie — the 24-year-old brain behind supermodel* — has turned that philosophy into a surprisingly addictive debut statement. Inspired by early Talking Heads doing absolutely nothing until it somehow became iconic, supermodel* operates in a blissful state of anti-intent. No grand lore, no mood boards, no “this record explores…” press-release nonsense. Just instinct, taste, and a healthy disregard for expectations.
Hutch – Never Like The First Time
A raw, intimate debut from UK singer-songwriter Hutch. Never Like The First Time captures addiction, surrender, and rebirth with jazz-tinged restraint and emotional honesty. A track that lets the dark and shiny moments coexist, proving vulnerability is where real connection — and survival — begin.
Armand Hammer & The Alchemist – Mercy
Armand Hammer & The Alchemist’s Mercy drags you through beauty, ruin, and razor-edged poetry. A world of cracked beats, whispered warnings, and brilliant guests, it’s their most magnetic chaos yet — unsettling, addictive, and impossible to shake.
