This week's hottest new sounds...
J HUS
Must Be (Black Butter)
As if there wasn’t enough excitement around J Hus’ big comeback, producer JAE5 has slathered jazzy sax all over this low-key joint, which suggests Hus could change up the rap game once again.

JAKE BUGG
Kiss Like The Sun (RCA)
Jake Bugg blows the cobwebs away by layering twanging guitar and vocals on a return that shows the snarl and snap of his early releases is still alive and kicking.

ROMAN LEWIS
Something To Care About (Bright Antenna)

SKINNY LIVING
No Messiah (Polydor)
The Yorkshire trio dole out more guitar anthems, as the soulful rasp of No Messiah drops ahead of a show at London’s Scala. It’s a tearjerker.

JEHNNY BETH
I’m The Man (Jehnny Beth)
Yes, this agitated single featured in the new series of Peaky Blinders but, more importantly, its release precedes new solo material from the Savages leader.
