This weekend has seen a heatwave, by British standards anyway.
It has been the hottest recorded early May bank holiday in history. So, whether you’re planning on chilling in the garden and topping up your tan or having all your mates over for a BBQ, here are some perfect tunes to gently ease you into the Summer feeling.
STRØM – Teenage Crime
Swedish producer STRØM has released a visionary reworking of Adrian Lux’s ‘Teenage Crime’. STRØM has said previously that he takes his inspiration from artists such as Oceaán, SBTRKT, and Jai Paul, obvious in this new track. This song is a moody and modern piece that takes the original melody and lyrics to turn it into something futuristic, ticking all the boxes of a great dark pop/dance piece.
Lewis Watson – Congratulations
It’s the cover you never knew you needed, until now. Singer Lewis Watson has released a cover track of Post Malone’s ‘Congratulations’ which he has taken from his upcoming EP nineties, naughties, tennies which is due to be released on the 18th of May, where the songwriter has picked a few favourite songs from each decade he’s been alive to cover. 'Congratulations', taken from the 'tennies' era (is that a thing?) has been completely stripped back and slowed down to focus on Watson's delicate vocal. This acoustic guitar version really changes the tone of the record, a perfect chilled out track for the upcoming Summer months.
Ned – Give Me More
If you think you’ve listened to all the music British artists have to offer, why not extend your ears and listen to French singer Ned. Her debut UK single, titled ‘Give Me More’ is an energetic, electro dance song. With French lyrics exploring feminity and female equality, it’s a song for girl power. Her EP is due to be released later on this year.
Damian Marley FT. Stephen Marley, Wiz Khalifa & Ty Dolla $ign– Medication
Grammy winner Damian “Jr Gong” Marley, has just released the remix to his single ‘Medication’. This remix features Stephen Marley, Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign. Damian Marley is the youngest son of legend Bob Marley, but he has earned his own place in the industry, winning countless awards for his music and collaborations. Check out the remix, featuring chilled out reggae beats and wavy vocals.
