New Music Round-Up: LiIly Allen, Charli XCX, Brockhampton

Singles 

Lily Allen - ‘Trigger Bang (feat. Giggs)'

Lily is back! 'Trigger Bang' track deals with the pitfalls of fame and addiction in a way that's blunt and a little bit hard to swallow but also witty. Lily's voice sounds gorgeous and, combined with Fryars' dreamy production, it's one of Lily's best singles ever.

Riton & Kha-lo - 'Fake ID'

Riton and Kha-lo never fail to make great music together. 'Fake ID' is a club-ready bop that brings out the best in both of them.

Big Shaq - 'Man's Not Hot (Christmas Edition)'

'Man's Not Hot' is one of the singles of 2017 and it's Christmas edition complete with choir backing is nothing short of sublime.

Pale Waves - 'My Obsession'

Pale Waves are one of this year's most exciting acts and 'My Obsession' is no different. A triumph ready for any teen movie.

Billie Eilish - '&Burn (feat. Vince Staples)'

Billie Eilish has a knack for writing and releasing forward-thinking pop and '&Burn' is an example of just how talented she is.

Anne-Marie - ‘Then'

Anne-Marie enters new territory with this vulnerable pop song about being messed over by a f***boy. A truly brilliant song.

SZA & Calvin Harris - ‘The Weekend (Funk Wav Remix)’

SZA's latest single was already a masterpiece but this Calvin Harris remix could help make it her first solo hit in the UK.

Ed Sheeran - ‘Perfect Symphony (with Andrea Bocelli)’

Another surprise remix of 'Perfect' from this year's chart king. The Beyoncé duet is perfect but this operatic mix is too.

Camila Cabello & Grey - ‘Crown'

This soundtrack single shows off a darker side of one of pop's brightest stars.

Albums

Brockhampton - Saturation III

Brockhampton are one of the most exciting boybands in the world right now and Saturation III is their best release to date.

Charli XCX - Pop2

Filled with hooks from start to finish we cannot get enough of Charli's new star-studded mixtape. A joy from start to finish.

Eminem - Revival

Eminem is back with a politically charged LP with features from Beyoncé and Kehlani. Nine albums in and he’s still got it.

G-Eazy - The Beautiful & Damned

G-Eazy's new album is full of chart-ready collaborations and introspective solo cuts. This could be his biggest record yet.

Pia Mia - The Gift 2 - EP

Pop perfection from a perfect star. Hopefully, this EP will give Pia Mia the justice and recognition that she deserves.
