Tom Walker – ‘Burn’
Scottish singer, songwriter, and storyteller Tom Walker makes his long-awaited return to music with ‘Burn’ – an impassioned, and ferocious pop/rock opus that sees the aggrieved BRIT Award winner channel all of the pent up anger and frustration he’s been holding onto following a break down in relations with his record label.
“The day I wrote ‘Burn’ I thought ‘Fuck everyone, I’m sick of this’,” Walker says of the feelings that inspired the song. “I scrapped a whole album and decided to go back to making songs that I love. Songs that make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Songs that bring a tear to my eye. Songs that actually mean something to me.”

Troye Sivan – ‘Got Me Started’
Arriving hot on the heels of his summer hit ‘Rush’ – which has amassed over 180 million combined global streams to date – Troye Sivan unleashes ‘Got Me Started’, the second single to be lifted from his forthcoming album, ‘Something To Give Each Other’.
Commenting on the track (which samples Bag Raiders’ 2011 hit ‘Shooting Stars’) Sivan says: “When we were writing this song, I was emphatic about using ‘Shooting Stars’ and just kept humming it in the studio. It’s a huge sample and was a big ask; and I knew that they had never approved it in the past. So I’m over the moon about the opportunity to sample that track because this song is iconic to me. And then we have Ian Kirkpatrick on production, who is a genius – I love his work! He had this plan to record the vocal at a slower speed and then speed it up, and ultimately that’s what you hear in the chorus. I instantly loved the way it sounded.”
NSG – ‘NELLA ROSE’
Afro-fusion collective NSG remind us of long hot days, and endless summer nights with the release of their brand new single ‘NELLA ROSE’.
Named after the pioneering YouTuber, and serving as the follow up to previous releases ‘Unruly’ and ‘Rise’, the infectious track sees the trailblazing, six-piece incorporate Amapiano beats with laid-back rhythms to produce a truly joyous, post-solstice, afro-pop bop!
