enhanced-buzz-wide-19056-1385495615-32

If you've ever been to Ikea, eaten meatballs or heard Robyn you'd be pretty up with the fact that everything Sweden produces touches to gold. The latest export from the country is Mapei who released one of last year's best pop tracks, Don't Wait. The track has gone onto feature Chance The Rapper and be remixed by Giraffage, Benny Blanco and Kingdom. Such was the breadth of its success. Now enter, Change, the latest single from her forthcoming album, Hey Hey. Pumped along by militant drums (a la Destiny's Child, Lose My Breath) the song blossoms into a euphoric chorus. "Don't you worry about a thing my sister, we're all waiting for a change" she sings, clearly playing Michael Jackson in Heal The World. 

Hey Hey is due on 23 September.

Kimbra previews 'The Golden Echo' with 'Nobody But You' and 'Love in High Places'

kimbra-the-golden-echo

Following the experimental, '90s Music, Kimbra has released two more tracks off The Golden Echo, Love In High Places and Nobody But You. Both are sultry soul numbers that don't have less of the oddities of '90s Music and more of the sound that we heard on Vows. Love in High Places has a distinct Dirty Projectors vibe to it while Nobody But You is throwback RnB, with Kimbra swimming fleetingly through her vocal range. We'll get to hear The Golden Echo in the middle of August as was revealed in her Twitter Q&A.

Stream Shamir's Debut EP

a1a4a22f

Las-Vegas artist Shamir impressed with his first two singles, If It Wasn't True and I Know It's A Good Thing and now he's set to groove you right down to the ground with his debut EP. The Northtown EP features five cuts that incorporate everything from deep-house to disco and motown soul. His voice has an androgynous quality that is both intriguing and captivating. His acoustic cover of Lindi Ortega's Lived and Died Alone is the best proof of this. Heighty vocals and a stellar falsetto carry the EP home with class.

New London artist, BARLI reveals her debut track 'Pebbles'

artworks-000081860622-ugyy6k-t500x500

There's so little you can do on a rainy Winters day that doesn't include weeping/eating Oreos. Luckily, there's another activity to add to that list- listen to the new track by London-artist BARLI. At this point BARLI is rather anonymous. A search for her debut song Pebbles reveals little else than Bali inspired-pebbles. And unless you're thinking of paving your pool, that is of little need to anybody. The Tom Epoch-produced track, Pebbles, on the other hand is of a lot of use. It's dark and minimal, moved along simply by an affecting 808. Her voice doesn't strain throughout rather preferring to remain in a spectrum covered by the likes of Jessie Ware and BANKS. An EP is reportedly on the way.

Mausi transform Kanye’s Bound 2

MAUSI

Kanye’s Bound 2 turned into a crystalline slice of pop-heaven is probably the most unexpected discovery of the day. Mausi, who we featured a few weeks back, have taken the hook of West’s closing number from Yeezus and added fluid synths and delicate vocals atop a pulsating dance beat. Unfortunately that don’t take on the rap, nor the Kim-featuring video, but they score points for complete originality. If the Kanye original was too aggressive and egotistical for you, then you’ll fall in love with this version.

Montaigne drops new single I Am Not An End

MONTAIGNE

Montaigne (aka. Jessica Cerro) was a Triple J Unearthed High finalist in 2012. She didn't win, but since then she's been turning out some pretty stunning music. I Am Not An End is the second single off her forthcoming EP, Life of Montaigne. It follows I'm A Fantastic Wreck which pricked up ears last month. It's a stings-driven number that revolves around Cerro's sunshine-induced voice. She's got the quick-wit of Lily Allen with the pop quirks of somebody like Regina Spektor. Australia is desperately in need of a new left-of-centre pop queen and Montaigne could be it. This is a very strong debut.
