This week's hottest new sounds...
BILLIE EILISH
Everything I Wanted (Polydor)
Is the teen star telling us she has all she ever dreamed of? As she closes 2019 with a creeping, complex dance banger, it’s tempting to assume so, but things are rarely so simple in Billie’s world.

GRIMES
So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth (4AD)
Grimes’ new album is finally confirmed for February 21, and with that news comes her latest alien pop vision, which swooshes and swoops to distraction.
Contact Anna Meacham

CHARLOTTE
All My Life (Turtle Tunes)
This is a big time piano ballad from Charlotte, who heads into 2020 tipped by Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, among others. What do they know?

BAXTER DURY
Slumlord (Rough Trade)
The first cut from Baxter Dury’s Night Chancers LP is a funky delight, the singer peacocking about and delivering deadpan vocals over a greasy bassline.

ROSE GRAY
High Again (Rose Gray)
Londoner Rose Gray wanders through the reasons people seek release from city life on this soulful new single, which hits hard, finger clicks and all.

ANNA CALVI
You’re Not God (Domino)
People love Peaky Blinders, and if that means increased exposure for Anna Calvi, then the more the better. This illustrates her gristly style impeccably.

EMPATH
Roses That Cry (Fat Possum/Get Better)
There’s no shortage of great new bands in Philadelphia at the moment and Empath are one of the best. Investigate their right-on psychedelic noise at once.
