Music Week's guide to the most essential tracks of the moment.
LANA DEL REY
Doin’ Time (Polydor)
Let’s check in with Lana Del Rey, who’s lending her spidery, spectral vibes to a cover of Sublime’s Doin’ Time. Equally synonymous with California as the ska legends, she sounds freaky as ever.

KOJEY RADICAL
Can’t Go Back (Asylum)
Restless experimentalist Kojey Radical sounds huge on a soulful beat that heralds the imminent arrival of a new project on Asylum. Watch this space.

WHENYOUNG
The Others (Virgin EMI)
Whenyoung wrote this after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, and its buzzing chords match its poignant message. Debut LP Reasons To Dream is out now.

THE SLP (FEAT. LITTLE SIMZ)
Favourites (Columbia)
Serge Pizzorno introduces his debut solo album with this new collab with rapper Little Simz. It’s slippery, noisy and, it must be said, pleasingly wonky.

EGYPTIAN BLUE
Collateral (Yala!)
Guitars sound great when they jitter and shudder, a fact not lost on Brighton group Egyptian Blue. This is the lead track from an EP out in June.
