One Liners: Doja Cat, Pharrell Williams, Leigh-Anne, more

RELEASES
Doja Cat is back with new single ‘Attention’.
Pharrell Williams has teamed up with gospel choir Voices Of Fire for new single ‘Joy (Unspeakable)’. “Working with Pharrell is always an amazing experience that not only inspires you, but drives you to dig deep within yourself for the best you have to offer”, says choir leader (and Pharrell’s uncle) Bishop Ezekiel Williams. “When the dream team finally came together on this song, I knew that moment in the studio was one of destiny”.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock from Little Mix has released her first solo single ‘Don’t Say Love’ – going by just Leigh-Anne in this new guise. “’Don’t Say Love’ is about no longer seeking external validation and regaining my confidence and sense of self in a world where I often felt misunderstood and unheard”, she says.
CamelPhat have released new track ‘Hope’, featuring Max Milner – the first from their second album. “Our first album ‘Dark Matter’ came out of lockdown and from a really strange and surreal place for everyone”, say the duo. “Our new second album is all about celebrating life and not taking things for granted. It’s a very uplifting record and lead single ‘Hope’ is the perfect intro”.
Kasabian have released new single ‘Algorithms’. “[It’s] a song that explores the idea that robots can’t experience emotion and being in the moment, whereas humans can, and that is the beauty that separates us… for now”, says frontman Serge Pizzorno.
Bombay Bicycle Club have released new single ‘My Big Day’, taken from their upcoming album of the same name, which will be out on 20 Oct. The band will also be touring the UK the same month.
Asking Alexandria have released new single ‘Psycho’. “[It’s] one of those songs that is talking about when you feel trapped inside your own head, trapped by your own vices and your own downfalls”, says guitarist Ben Bruce. “Ultimately, at the end of the day we all feel a little bit crazy, a little bit like a psycho. It’s just a fun song that we can all relate to”.
Peggy Gou has released new single ‘(It Goes Like) Nanana’ – her first release through XL Recordings. “There’s a feeling we all know but is hard to describe, that feeling of love, warmth and excitement when you’re surrounded by friends and loved ones and the energy speaks for itself”, she says. “It’s difficult to put into words but to me it goes ‘nanana!’”
