<\/p>\n
This week we\u2019ve added another ten tracks to our Discovery Playlist on Spotify and Apple Music, including one track we exclusively premiered earlier in the week. For the final time this month, our Track of the Week goes to, none other than the returning \u00a0Tkay Maidza<\/b> with her new single \u201cMust Be\u201d \u2013 her first official solo release since 2023\u2019s Sweet Justice<\/i>.<\/p>\n
With production coming courtesy of Maths Time Joy <\/b>and The Idiot<\/b>; \u201cMust Be\u201d is a bold, defiant statement of intent and independence from the now LA-based artist. It\u2019s all sharp edges, chaos and confrontation; and there\u2019s this really bright, heightened, slightly cartoonish, slightly \u2018sinister\u2019 vibe too. It\u2019s ambitious, it\u2019s bold, and pretty captivating. The press release promises the start of a new era \u2013 so expect to see and hear more from Maidza over the coming months \u2013 but, for now, sit back and strap in.<\/p>\n
Naarm\u2019s Gypsy Lee<\/strong> delivers \u201cSnitches\u201d, a moody, bold, and defiant indie-pop cut that immediately commands attention. Driven entirely by vocals and percussive elements \u2014 think handclaps and even door slams \u2014 the track strips things back to striking effect, placing her voice front and centre. Written alongside collaborator and producer THRONES<\/strong> (Andrew Lowden), \u201cSnitches\u201d captures the emotional aftermath of a first heartbreak, but channels it into something far more powerful: an anthemic, self-assured statement that refuses to be diminished. You can catch Gypsy across a run of Melbourne shows before she heads out to the Big Red Bash in the Simpson Desert; head HERE<\/a> for all the dates.<\/p>\n Also added to the playlist this week is \u201cWhite Limousine\u201d, the new single from LA songwriter and artist Johanna Samuels<\/b>. Produced by Jonathan Rado <\/b>\u201cWhite Limousine\u201d is Samuels\u2019 first new music since 2024, and features vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews<\/b>. Influenced by Samuels\u2019 first ever panic attack, \u201cWhite Limousine\u201d is this beautiful, piano driven track \u2013 lushly orchestrated, lyrically astute \u2013 and with some gorgeous vocals and harmonies from both women. Special mention for the guitar work throughout too, which really brings an added nostalgic element to bear on the track.<\/p>\n Emma Louise<\/strong> returns with \u201cGod Between Us\u201d, a luminous and deeply introspective preview of her forthcoming fourth album Sunshine for Happiness<\/em>, arriving May 1. Fresh off her collaborative record Dumb with Flume<\/em>, the new single finds the singer-songwriter leaning into rich piano and expansive, ethereal instrumentation, framing a song that sits at the emotional and spiritual heart of the record. Balancing vulnerability with a sense of transcendence, \u201cGod Between Us\u201d reflects on love as a constant \u2014 present in both creation and destruction \u2014 delivered with a quiet intensity that is most catching. It draws parallels with the great Nick Cave.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s How I Pray\u201d is the sublime new single from Vika & Linda<\/b>, and the next taste of their forthcoming album Where Do You Come From?<\/i> (Out June 5th). Co-written by Vika at a songwriting workshop at Whitsunday Islands, \u201cThat\u2019s How I Pray\u201d is inspired by the duo\u2019s deep, personal connection to the water and the ocean. It\u2019ll come as no surprise to those familiar with the duo, the vocals on \u201cThat\u2019s How I Pray\u201d are immaculate \u2013 a beautiful blend of gospel and soul, that just washes over you. By popular demand the duo have announced an extension of their national tour; for more information and to grab yourself tickets visit their website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n London-based alt-pop newcomers, The Deadmans<\/strong>,\u00a0continue to build out their immersive creative world with \u201cMake Me Prey\u201d, the latest single from their forthcoming self-titled debut album, arriving April 24. Written across Paris, London, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and our very own Brunswick Heads, the track is a sharp, defiant statement \u2014 drawing on biting, self-assured lyricism that flips expectations of femininity and control into something far more feral and empowering. Lines like \u201cyou can\u2019t make a predator, prey\u201d land with real intent, underscoring the song\u2019s core message of autonomy and unapologetic ambition.<\/p>\n Rum Jungle<\/strong> return with \u201cLowlife\u201d, a raw and introspective new cut that finds the band turning inward, exploring self-worth, uncertainty and the slow process of learning to feel comfortable in your own skin. It also marks the next taste of their forthcoming second album Marginalia<\/em> (out June 5), showcasing the development of a band intent on flexing their creative muscle. We caught them at The Great Escape in Brighton last year, and it\u2019s exciting to hear the latest chapter from a band very much on the rise.<\/p>\n Also added to the playlist this week are \u201cTractor Beam\u201d, the opening track from Snail Mail<\/strong>\u2019s new album Ricochet<\/em>, which is out today. Anthemic vocals, jangly guitars and soaring strings all combine on this ode to dissociation. \u201cPlease Let Me Remember This\u201d, is the sophomore solo single from Sunflower Bean<\/strong>\u2019s Julia Cumming<\/strong>. This soulful, shimmering and breezy track comes from Cummings\u2019 forthcoming solo record Julia \u2013 out April 24th. Finally, we\u2019ve also added \u201cFall of Man\u201d from EDIE<\/strong>, which we premiered earlier in the week.<\/p>\n Catch all the new music updated every Friday on Apple Music:<\/p>\n
