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

Singles 

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

https://open.spotify.com/track/5f8U3QzmZZrK0BkAeQut2q

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'

https://open.spotify.com/album/6br1zYHdMWECx7CSjaWwB4

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)'

https://open.spotify.com/track/1R0c4zQFh5ibaY94zZqbMT

'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'

https://open.spotify.com/album/2TEA6880AUv8F83zbaErip

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)'

https://open.spotify.com/album/3LRP0tvSz98x9lbvHHpCxP

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'

https://open.spotify.com/album/3zITWC5AnDnbCSTbwmnNEG

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)’

https://open.spotify.com/album/5enEsi887wD3qGoMCK4jLr

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)’

https://open.spotify.com/album/2MOs2gBy14kW9jYXbv2A3O

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'

https://open.spotify.com/album/3QB2VHZ40qHxyTHSEzqthX

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