Anna Lunoe, “Like Me”

On her new single “Like Me”, Anna Lunoe makes her message crystal clear: “Yous’ll never find another one like me.” The Australian multi-hyphenate announced final week a new EP,
Sabbatum Love, and this latest taste of the project delivers more than of the vibrancy and bouncing club heft from previous tracks “Double Dip” and “Back Seat.” “Like Me” is both boisterous and tender, assuming however intimate as Lunoe’due south filtered sugary vocals residual out a thick, deep bassline and whirlwinds of technicolor synths — a centering calmness among the swirling action. Add some hands-in-the-air breakdowns and information technology’southward an outdoor festival moment in the making.

Lunoe co-wrote “Like Me” with Bag Raiders’ Jack Glass during lockdown in belatedly 2020. “We were originally making a vibey chord-driven tune, but the track sonics took a turn when reconnected with my DJ side over NYE ’22 and decided to take it heavier and weirder!” she said. “I was blown away when I played it ii months later on the USA tour in March this yr — people instantly reacted to information technology and it felt like [it] perfectly encapsulated the apprehension, dear and longing I feel for life, clubbing and connection during this weird moment in time.”

Marshmello & Khalid, “Numb”

Marshmello and Khalid have a proven track record, with their 2017 collab “Silence” striking No. i on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart and No. 30 on the Hot 100. Logic would follow that the this success would lead to some other collab from the R&B crooner and 1 of  music’s about adaptable stars, and today we accept it with “Numb.” A straightforward tune built from a strong bassline and even stronger whistling, the track is out via the ‘Mello human being’southward own Joytime Commonage.

“Me and Khalid e’er talked about doing another vocal, and then I sent this thought to him and he loved it,” says Marshmello. “I was super happy when I asked him if he wanted to do the vocal and he said “yep” — because the song is a piffling unlike vibe for him, but I knew he would crush it. He sent information technology to me the next day, and I immediately knew we had one with this.” —

Shygirl, “Come up For Me”

Information technology takes a assuming presence to make melodies of Arca’due south most experimental productions, simply U.K.-based baddie Shygirl is never more in her chemical element than when she takes the lead on a scratchy, gritty, broken glass beat such every bit this. “Come up For Me” is as haunting as it is daring, a scary kind of sensuality that’south get Shygirl’s (and Arca’due south) signature. It follows the tangled sweetness that was “Firefly” equally the second single on the vocalist’south forthcoming debut anthology,
Nymph, and we’re more than willing to follow her down this path of musical mood. –
