RELEASES
Ellie Goulding has released new single ‘By The End Of The Night’ from her upcoming fifth studio album ‘Higher Than Heaven’, which is out on 7 Apr. The track gives a “sense of euphoric, sensual escape”, says Goulding, adding that “we need music that uplifts us and makes us feel good”.
Rina Sawayama, who is making her feature film debut in ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’, has also contributed a new song to the movie’s soundtrack. The track, titled ‘Eye For An Eye’, was written with the film’s composer Tyler Bates and is set to feature on its soundtrack album, which – along with the movie itself – will be out tomorrow.
The National have released new single ‘Eucalyptus’, which is the third from their upcoming album ‘First Two Pages Of Frankenstein’. That album, set to be released on 28 Apr, will feature collaborations with Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Sufjan Stevens. The band will embark on a UK and Ireland tour in September, with Soccer Mommy supporting.
Mammoth WVH – aka Wolfgang Van Halen – will release new album ‘Mammoth II’ on 4 Aug. Out now is new single ‘Another Celebration At The End Of The World’. “I knew that I wanted the new album to contain elements of what people heard on the debut, but also giving me a chance to branch out a bit”, says Van Halen. “‘Another Celebration At The End Of the World’ is definitely a song that showcases what people can expect from the new album. It is a high-energy rocker with some fun guitar moments on it”.
Yunè Pinku has released new single ‘Sports’ along with the announcement of her forthcoming EP ‘Babylon IX’. Produced with UK DJ and producer Jakwob, she describes the new track as being “based loosely on an angry version of Lana Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’ – mainly just the idea of someone putting a TV screen before the people they care about and their own life”.
James Holden has released new single ‘In The End You’ll Know’, from his upcoming album ‘Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities’, set for release on 31 Mar.
Meshell Ndegeocello is releasing a new jazz-influenced album, ‘The Omnichord Real Book’, on 16 Jun – her first for Blue Note Records. The album features collaborations with a wide range of artists including Jason Moran, Ambrose Akinmusire and Joan As Police Woman. Out now is new single ‘Virgo’, featuring Brandee Younger and Julius Rodriguez.
Piglet has released new single ‘Building Site Outside’. “I wrote this song at the final hurdle of receiving a prescription for gender affirming hormones”, says the musician. “This was by no means the biggest obstacle I had faced in accessing treatment, but for some reason, it hit me particularly hard”. Piglet begins a tour the UK and Ireland next week.
Nukuluk have announced the release of their second EP ‘Superglue’ on 21 Apr, and put out new single ‘I Just Wanna Luv U’. The group describe the EP as “a kaleidoscope of sonics, songs, beats, noises and stories lurching between vulnerability and bravado, as a body of work growing in all directions at the same time”. They are also set to play London’s Corsica Studios on 23 May.
