Loyle Carner ft. Jordan Rakei – Ottolenghi
Despite it being around eighteen months since he released his critically acclaimed debut album, Yesterday’s Gone, Loyle Carner has kept himself very busy by campaigning for men’s mental health awareness, opening a cookery school for children with ADHD as well as fronting a worldwide campaign for Yves Saint Laurent. Now he has returned with some fresh material with the assistance of Jordan Rakei.
Ottolenghi was inspired by the culinary revolutionary, Yotam Ottolenghi, and came about after Loyle was reading one his books on a train, but it was mistaken for a Bible.
There is no news yet on whether an album is imminent, but it is looking promising.

LA-based singer songwriter, SASAMI, is back with new single and first release with Domino, Not The Time, and it follows Callous which Pitchfork named Best New Track earlier this year.

Micra – Plastic
Comprised of the Bulgarian born-and-raised singer, Ivana Kay, and Australian producer/guitarist, Robbie Cain, Micra started out in spring of 2018 earning attention from Triple J for their early demos and compelling live shows – Plastic mines the band’s wistful atmospheric influences, drawn from the likes of Air, Zero 7 and Ariel Pink.
Speaking about the single, Cain said, “Plastic was the original piece of music I sent to Ivana as a demo over email, convincing her to work on music with me. We tracked the initial vocals in our friend’s basement after meeting in a cafe for the second time.’
