This week's hottest new sounds...
ANNE-MARIE
Birthday (Major Toms/Asylum)
Anne-Marie’s strutting comeback doubles as an ode to the benefits of doing whatever the hell you like. ‘Do some stupid shit, maybe get a tattoo’, she sings. And why not?

THE STROKES
At The Door (RCA)
Once Julian Casablancas had finished rambling about pirates at Bernie Sanders’ recent rally, The Strokes announced their new album with this mazy synth jam.
Contact Rachael Hendry

JOESEF
Think I Don’t Need Your Love (Bold Cut/AWAL)
Glaswegian newcomer Joesef gets super loungey on his first new single of 2020. There’s little more than guitar, brass and his airy vocal, but that’s all he really needs.
Contact Michelle Kambasha

WORKING MEN’S CLUB
White Rooms And People (Heavenly Recordings)
The Yorkshire crew rock and rattle on a fierce and funky new track that seeks to put their distaste with the world to good use: namely, making people dance.

JEHNNY BETH
Flower (Caroline Records)
Whispered, murderous lyrics and sparse verses give way to a frantic electronic chorus on the Savages singer’s new one. Jehnny Beth’s debut LP is coming in May
Ant Giannaccini
anthony@mbcpr.com
CARLY RAE JEPSEN
Let’s Be Friends (Schoolboy/Interscope)
Here’s Carly Rae Jepsen to take a swipe at Valentine’s Day. Whatever your opinion on Cupid’s big day out, this one-off single is pop gold.

ANDERSON 100
Bae Goals (Dudley Road Records)
Brummie MC Anderson 100 rhymes about “parking fines” and “Optimus Prime” over dubstep-flavoured bass. This is out now on footballer Daniel Sturridge’s record label.
