BILLIE EILISH / THEREFORE I AM
Spooktastic heavyweight Eilish rockets back with what is arguably one of her most instant and charismatic releases so far. Taking clear cues from the debut, ‘Therefore…’ presents again the bravado and charisma that’s proven so successful already. Of course, it helps when the song is actually good and… it’s really good. Silky smooth haunting vocals over a sliding synth and pulsating bass, it’s addictive.
PALE WAVES / CHANGE
All you need to know is this is the best Avril Lavigne song that’s been made in years, so reminiscent of ‘Complicated’ that it’s hard to imagine the song was not an influence. Similarly to how PVRIS tapped those Paramore vibes at the start, taking cues from such an established sound might actually help Pale Waves find that mainstream lane. As Lavigne as it sounds, unescapable as it is, it’s still good enough to make you need more Pale Waves just like this.

GRACEY / 99%
‘99%’ is the latest big push from GRACEY, we’ll soon see whether that big push is going to pay off but for now the music can do all the talking. Lucky for us, it’s pretty easy to get sucked in to this Charli XCX-esque smooth banger. With that bassline doing all the work, Gracey fades in and out of the shadows like Krampus dancing around and watching you fall into the beat.

GEORGE MAPLE / FADE
When Maple hits it right, she hits it really right. Unfortunately her releases have been so few and far between that it’s been a bit of a worry where she would go next. Worry no more! ‘Fade’, taken from her new saga MYTH which drops in December, is Dido on steroids – a fine line between dance remix and that heavenly dark dreamland that Maple’s pop tendencies tend to sit within. Ever so subtle, ‘Fade’ takes it time to come really crashing but when it does, it HITS.

LAUREN AQUILINA / LATEST GHOST
Aquilina’s latest (and greatest so far!) is the emotionally powerful Swiftian-esque ‘Latest Ghost’. Something pretty close to MUNA, the greatest band in the world, it’s a really god damn good song wrapped in some pretty gorgeous production.
