It’s that time of the week again and we have a brand new Spindle Selects playlist featuring new releases from Harry Styles, Rina Sawayama, Sigala and more. Check out our picks below.

Paige Cavell – ROYL

Rising pop-superstar Paige Cavell has returned with a pop-bop for the ages. ‘ROYL’ is a hook-driven banger, a dance-pop track showcasing the artist’s impeccable power-vocal. It’s a heartbreak anthem for the dancefloor.

Sigala – Stay The Night

Ahead of his second album dropping this summer, British producer Sigala returns with another all-out banger. ‘Stay The Night’ follows on from recent smash hit’ Melody’ and features vocals from newcomer Talia Mar.

Raynes – Tie Me Up

Transatlantic trio Raynes bring their signature ‘expansive folk’ sound with their latest single ‘Tie Me Up.’ Deeply intimate and personal, the track was inspired by Raynes’ member Mark Race’s own experience leaving behind his life in the UK and moving to LA to pursue working with the band. It’s a mesmeric track where the head bopping choruses will continue playing on-repeat even after the song ends.

Yot Club – off the grid

Yot Club has dropped the title track of his debut album ‘off the grid,’ a deceptively buoyant track that revitalizes you with its bouncy riffs. Unlike its melody, the lyrics address the emotional exhaustion of monotony and the desperate need for escape. It’s upbeat and revitalizing, which offers the kick you need to start changing your routine. 

80purppp – Cliché?

80purppp returns with another stunning single ‘Cliché?’ where he captures the initial emotional rush that comes with romance. The track is from his EP Je Sais, which was also released today. Channeling his inner hopeless romantic, ‘Cliché?’ offers a close-up look into the blooming intimacy between two people.

Santigold – High Priestess

Pop music legend Santigold has finally returned with her brand new single ‘High Priestess’. Backed by an explosive rhythm, the track perfectly showcases the singer’s evolved yet familiar style. From its off-kilter synths to Santigold’s clever lyrics, ‘High Priestess’ is a must-listen.

Lykke Li – 5D

Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li continues her music take over with her psychedelic new track ‘5D’. Throughout the record, the beloved singer delivers emotional lyrics about a complicated relationship. Alongside the heartfelt lyrical content, the single is also backed by an eccentric production that will make you feel like you’re floating through the clouds.

NiNE8 Collective member Mac Wetha has shared his new feel-good single ‘Feel Better (Infinite Pitbulls)’. The pop-punk track delivers affirming lyrics that highlight the importance of staying in the moment amidst an ever-changing world.

FKJ ft Toro y Moi – A Moment of Mystery

Multi-talented artist French Kiwi Juice (FKJ) partnered up with Toro Y Moi for his new single ‘A Moment Of Mystery’. Backed by a smooth electronic production, the music duo sing about a long-term love connection. Filled with atmospheric strings, languid vocals and slow-moving synths ‘A Moment of Mystery” a perfect track to relax to.

Léa Sen – I Like Dis

22 year old talent Léa Sen is continuing her upward trajectory with her brand new track ‘I Like Dis’. Taken from her debut EP You Of Now Pt. 1, the song perfectly captures her boundless artistry with its warm indie-R&B sound. Speaking on the track, Léa Sen says: “I felt the most innocent when I wrote this song… The fingerpicking was so smooth and yet challenging to play, so everything just came naturally because I just connected with how the guitar made me feel and got out of my own head for a second. In the lyrics I look at this feeling of wanting someone almost desperately but also being terrified of what happens once you get them and especially once you lose them. Falling in love is terrifying when all you do is second guess yourself.”

Mychelle ft. Enny – Pressure

Emerging talent Mychelle has released her dynamic single ‘Pressure’ alongside her new EP ‘Someone Who Knows’. Throughout the track, the songstress explores the complexities of expectations and the difficult process of letting go. Speaking on the song’s inspiration, Mychelle say: “I wrote the song during lockdown. A time when it was easy to feel like you weren’t doing enough. I kept thinking about what I needed to tell myself and I realized, there’s no need to apply so much pressure on myself. I just need to be and not allow myself to be so consumed by everything around me”.

UPSAHL – Monica Lewinsky

Singer-songwriter UPSAHL has channelled her inner pop culture icon with her brand new single ‘Monica Lewinsky’. In the unapologetic track, the emerging talent sings about wanting to make history and hits like industry legends Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. When describing the single, UPSAHL reveals that the track goes much deeper than its pop culture references. “In the 90’s and the early 2000’s, women like Monica, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Miley Cyrus were all dragged down by the media under a microscopic spotlight and the court of public opinion simply for living their lives,” she explains. “One of the main reasons I get to feel free existing in a creative industry is because of the bullsh*t that they had to deal with early on in their careers. ‘Monica Lewinsky’ is my ode to them. Thank you for making history.”

Rina Sawayama – This Hell

The groundbreaking pop songstress Rina Sawayama is back with her brand new single ‘This Hell’ and it is everything. The immersive single is backed by a pop-country sound and full of lyrics that reference music icons. Speaking about the new single, Rina explains “I had so much fun writing ‘This Hell.’ The past couple of years I’ve been listening to lots of female country singers and wanted to write a euphoric and tongue in cheek country pop song. Country music at its core to me represents comfort, brilliant storytelling and authentic expression of the writer’s reality.
