We’re always on the hunt for great new music and intriguing artists.
In this week’s edition we look at new music from Lady Gaga, Burno Mars, Kiesza, Moby, WaqWaq Kingdom, SSION and Liam Benzvi.
There’s a lot of retro influences in this selection, and quite a few great hats.
Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga – Die With A Smile
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have put out a duet that sounds like a slice of 70’s yacht rock. Gaga is prepping her upcoming seventh album that is yet to have a title announced.
“Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating. I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There’s no one like him.” Gaga said of the collaboration.
Moby featuring Choklate – Sweet Moon
it’s hard to keep up with Moby, he’s released so much music over the years. Always Centred at Night is his twenty-second album, and this is the ninth single lifted from the record. It’s a blues sounding tune that’s quite different to Moby’s usual fare.
WaqWaq Kingdom – Hado
WaqWaq Kingdom is a Japanese tribal bass duo, consisting of Kiki Hitomi and Shigeru Ishihara. Both are originally from Japan, lived in the U.K. for over a decade and are now based in Leipzig and Berlin.
Hitomi has previously been a part of King Midas Sound, Black Chow, and Dokkebi Q, as well as releasing solo material.
Kiesza – I Go Dance
This is an instantly catchy slice of pop perfection. Canadian artist Kiesza took a few years off from performing after a car accident but now she’s back and ready to dance!
Bebe Rexha – I’m The Drama
After years of writing hit songs for other artists Bebe Reha is finally getting recognised as an artist in her own right.
Liam Benzvi featuring SSION – PTLSD
This tune is reminiscent of some of Air’s floatiest moments. Benzvi is about to release his second solo album On HIs Splash Band and this is the third single from the album. He was previously a member of the band Stange Days.
